Bible timeline plus various





Uni is done, and so here is a bunch of updates for you. A plethora of pictures! Maybe not enough to account for my recent non-existant updates, but ah well. With my uni career over my main aim is to recommence daily updates, so there should be daily (or at least pretty frequent) pictoral goodies from henceforth!

The 3 images for your viewing pleasure today are a pretty mixed bag. At the top we have my colour coded bible timeline. For building the basic timeline I used a bunch of resources, but mainly the dates and timelines in my study bible (The Christian Growth Study Bible, NIV translation, published by Zondervan) and the bible timeline available to look at here:

My aim was to condense the knowledge from these two sources into a one-page format that would be visuall easy to grasp. Both of these sources have a lot more detail and are a result of much work and effort - so make sure and check them out when you get the chance :)

The sources for the book-type timeline posted above were mostly from the visual data site Many Eyes:

and an article on the Old Testament available here:

The middle pic is the promotional poster for my final year animation, which I displayed at my exhibition.

You can watch the animation here:

The last pic is one I drew last night at probbaly around 2am. It's my imagining of the first time my DnD character Anya the Cleric (who also starred in my animation - she's featured in mind-boggling 3D in the poster above XD ) met Steph's character: Elle the Warlock.

There are sevral things I don't like about it as skecth. One is that Anya looks pretty glaikit and seems to be staring fixatedly at the region just above Elle's head. Another is that she looks about 15, rather than 22 whcih is her actual age XD

However, I like the genral feel of the sketch. I was going for the big contrast between them, which I achieved. Anya with her country-bumpkin freckles, and polite manners and positivity, and Elle with her laid back, femme fatale cool-ness. If she were any more hip she'd put on a pair of sunglasses while walking away from an explosion XD

Anyway, enjoy!
