Description
The Gulliver Group has a run in with the local enforcers over the matter of violating no-fly zones and dropping anchor within city limits. The crew is amused by the sheriff's colorful use of language - they have no idea what he's saying.The Gulliver Group
The Gulliver Group is an all-female group (with the exception of their accountant and technicians) that was founded by their captain Lychee Sapindaceae. It was originally part of an undergrad project where she selected Adventuring as a focus for entrepeneurship. When it produced moderate success, she made it her fulltime occupation, bringing on board her closest classmates at the time.
They travel from city to city, making a living off of odd jobs and Kill-20-Monsters quests. Then, before they have to start paying parking fees, they move to another location and repeat the process. This is also how they evade certain taxes (they are not popular with municipalities).
Gulliver Group members in the picture besides Captain Lychee include B.B. Fayne (First Mate and navigator; she does not look where she is walking - not a good trait for a navigator), Getty Abarashi (Medic and cook; her degree was in animal husbandry but oh well), and Melissa DeFont (Bazooka Girl; she made up this job and joined on the condition that she could have it).
The Sheriff's Posse
Marshall Barkrum is the sheriff of Lowtus County. He is a humorless man who does not know how to drive a conversation. He used to have a sidearm, but I forgot to draw it. But even without it, you can tell he is a tough and serious dude, as evidenced by his tough and serious wolf paw tattoo.
Barkrum and his posse try their best to keep things orderly, though characters like the Gulliver Group often give them trouble. He has at his disposal the artillery landship Arbitrator, but it is expensive to operate so he only brings it out when he needs to intimidate someone or discourage an attack.
Posse members include Henry Thurst (analyst and consultant; carries a laptop with him, is terrible in a fight. Maybe shouldn't be in a posse), Jorgus (grappler and secretly a huge fan of the Gulliver Group; he is trying to hide how super excited he is from his boss), and Mr. Huang (dunno what he does. Posse filler).
Augh! This picture took wayyy too long. I finished it three days ago, and it took me until now to finish writing this up. I started drawing this back on the 8th, so it's taken about 3 weeks to complete. Setting aside time to work on art is hard with a full time job and competing distractions like games and manga! Well, hopefully all the time was worth it - I can say with confidence that this is my proudest piece so far.
The Gulliver Group's airship has gone through 3 names. Originally "Sea Gals" was written on it. Then I was like "wait, I have another idea!" and wrote "Gulliver" on it. I probably tried that like 8 times until I gave up because the font kept looking really old-fashioned, so in the end I settled with the kanji 海鳥 (umidori - "sea bird"). Not very clever, but it was an aesthetic I was finally satisfied with.
Anyhow, here are some bonus configurations of the picture I made because it was easy:

Luke 5:27- 32
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax
collector by the name of Levi sitting at his
tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him,
and Levi got up, left everything and followed
him.
Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus
at his house, and a large crowd of tax
collectors and others were eating with them.
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law
who belonged to their sect complained to his
disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with
tax collectors and sinners?”
Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who
need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
-----------------------------------------------------
Luke 18:9-14
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
To some who were confident of their own
righteousness and
looked down on everyone else,
Jesus told this parable:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a
Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood
by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you
that I am not like
other people—robbers, evildoers,
adulterers—or even like
this tax collector. I fast twice a week
and give a tenth of all I get.’
“But the tax collector stood at a distance.
He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his
breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other,
went home justified before God. For all those who
exalt themselves will be humbled, and those
who humble themselves will be exalted.”
--------------------------------------------------------
Luke 7:36-50
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have
dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house
and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who
lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating
at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an
alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him
at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet
with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair,
kissed them and poured perfume on them.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he
said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he
would know who is touching him and what kind of
woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to
tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
Jesus said:
“Two people owed money to a certain moneylender.
One owed him five hundred denarii,and the other fifty.
Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he
forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will
love him more?”
Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger
debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon,
“Do you see this woman? I came into your house.
You did not give me any water for my feet,
but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with
her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman,
from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet.
You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured
perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many
sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown.
But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The other guests began to say among themselves,
“Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;
go in peace.”

John 8:1-11
The Woman who was caught in adultery
At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts,
where all the people gathered around him, and he
sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law
and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in
adultery. They made her stand before the group
and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught
in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded
us to throw a rock at such women. Now what do you say?”
They were using this question as a trap, in order
to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the
ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning
him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any
one of you who is without sin be the first to throw
a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote
on the ground.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a
time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left,
with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened
up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one
condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I threaten you,” Jesus declared.
“Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Luke 23:32-43
Jesus and the two criminals.
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out
with him to be executed. When they came to the
place called the Skull, they crucified him there,
along with the criminals—one on his right, the other
on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing.”
And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
The people stood watching, and the rulers even
sneered at him. They said, “He saved others;
let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah,
the Chosen One.”
The soldiers also came up and .
laugh and made fun of jesus.
They offered him wine vinegar and said,
“If you are the king of the Jews, save
yourself.”
There was a written notice above him,
which read: this is the king of the jews.
One of the criminals who hung there said
bad words at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah?
Save yourself and us!”
But the other criminal rebuked him.
“Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are
under the same sentence? We are punished justly,
for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this
man has done nothing wrong.”
But the other criminal rebuked him.
“Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are
under the same sentence? We are punished justly,
for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this
man has done nothing wrong.”
Then the criminal said to Jesus, Lord
rember me, when you enter your kingdom.
and jesus said: Truly I say to you, on
this day you will be
with me in paradise.

What a colorful bunch of characters!
I love sheriff's "now see here!" pose, and Lychee's smug grin.
The Solid Snake cosplayer in the background is hilariously grumpy, too--poor guy must have missed his morning coffee.
