Mackie85 - Happy Saint Patrick's Day (Patreon)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone.

I wanted to do more  holiday pieces and so I found this line art from Mackie85 whom I asked  if I could color, they said yes and sent me the line art. 

Here is the original:  St. Patrick's Day 2015

In  the course of coloring this piece, I also recorded my progress with it  and I am uploading the video with a very lovely song as a backdrop for  it in the background.

As for the other version of this picture that I did, I wanted to recognize an aspect of Saint Patrick's Day that needs to be remembered.  When Saint Patrick drove out "the snakes" from the Emerald Island, let's keep in mind what that means.  Basically spreading Christianity and quashing Paganism of an indigenous people.  In other words, business as usual in Christianity.  So, for the second picture, I threw in an old Irish Pagan symbol; the triple spiral.  

So, when celebrating Saint Patrick's day, let's not forget the people and the culture that was lost.
