Dear Jocked,
http://jocked.deviantart.com/
I was impressed of your saints ;-). Regrettably, I am not so talented as you or rather my ability to produce such artworks with the aid of photoshop and the like is not so perfect as yours.
However, my sanity says me that your inspiration comes from narzistic self-perception common to all humans ;-)
Therefore I would like to ask you, if you would demonstrate your proficiency and make any pictures where you allegorize any animals to saints?
The source for your inspiration may be following pages:
