Sandwiched among the Hallowe'en stuff: some religion. I've completed the underpainting for my icon. The face still looks rough, but there's enough tone and detail that you can see how it will look.
Thinking on it, John The Baptist would make a truly memorable Hallowe'en costume. He never cuts his hair, shaves, or bathes, much like a professional sports athlete heading into the playoffs. He wears a suit made out of hair. He shouts at people. He's like a biblical Chewbacca.
Except, of course, that trick-or-treating as John The Baptist, you wouldn't get candy. The non-pious would never get any of the references, and the devout would refuse to give you anything. At least you'd stay warm, though. Warm and alone.
