Please explain the following:
How did you determined your judgment and criticism from us, as if I am not part of us. Is this another REAL Christian stance of yours again?
How is ...
You said that you can imagine Jesus Christ weeping. So can I imagine this, and drew what I imagined.
I cannot help it if my drawing does not fit your imagination of Jesus Christ weeping, or your own self projection of how you weep.
All humans, who weep, use the same facial muscles, to a lesser or greater extent than what I have drawn. It is a human physical response. To draw Jesus Christ weeping, whom nobody really knows what he looked like, one has to draw the face to look as it it is weeping. I cannot read your mind to see what you imagine as Jesus weeping.
I can redraw this expression and it will not look the same, but some other person. All the other drawings do not look like the same person. So how is it a 'self-projection' unless you are talking about emotions.
We have been inundated by many images of Jesus Christ's face, most portray a radiant man with a smile of love and peace. Yet in real life he was very human in appearance. Jesus is the Son of God. He too is God. Yet on earth nobody saw him, with there eyes, as God. Or else everybody would have known him to be God because He appeared to look like a God to their imaginings. But they did not, so Jesus appeared to look like any other human being. He laughed, wept, got angry, etc., too.

I have recently been asked, a few times, why I am a hermit. It is mainly because I love serenity. But you sir, has brought up an other reason. That is, to keep away from Christian bullies such as yourself.
Matthew 10:13-15If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Worry not Erom, not everyone is as quick to accuse as they are. And the 'us' they refer to is the couple that share the account. You never know which one you're dealing with, but there seems to be little variation within their attacks, so its largely irrelevant.

I like the pictures, and even 'if' there was some level of self projection is that such a horrible thing? Perhaps it could be viewed as one so strongly identifying with Christ that they lose themselves in the image of Christ and it becomes a blur? The lines of your identity in Christ blurring so strongly that where you end and he beings is questionable. It doesn't sound wrong to me.
That your default reaction to everything is critical speaks more of your heart, not the heart of the people you find to constantly criticize.
