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:

http://www.sundayschoolresources.com/timeline.htm

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!

More Nehemiah

I know I've not been updating.

I suck.

I'm too busy will uni - regular updates will hopefully commence at the end of May

Nehemiah Part B: Panel 1, 2 & 3 Coloured

No update yesterday, but quite a lot today. So deal with it :P

Bible Timeline!

Here is the fruit of several days' labour - a timeline of the entire Bible! *phew*

For using with my uni artworks project

I also made one colour-coded by type of book: history, law etc. but my internet hates me and won't upload it XD

Maybe tomorrow...

More Nehemiah sketches

Here's some more development sketches for my artworks project. On the left page we have Nehemiah, the main dude, along with Ezra the scribe. On the right are the villains of the story: Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite!

XD Tobiah's face on the bottom right cracks me up XD It's when he's making a joke about the wall that nehemiah and the rest of the israelites are building.

Artworks development sketches

Here's some very preliminary and brian-stormy sketches for my artworks project. I'm gonna start by doing a series of comics on Nehemiah, so I'll need to read and re-read the book and do some visual reserach too.

Sorry for lack of updates. I have actually been doodling just about every day, but have never made it through to my computer to upload them. Oops :(

Productive-Doodle Day

I was doing some concept sketches for my uni artworks project - a series of bible-based comic strips. There's also some copied Batman artwork in there, just to warm me up a bit.

On the bottom left you can see a sketch of the woman who had a bleeding disease for years, then was healed by touching Jesus' cloak. On the right hand side you can see my attempt at Jesus himself. Notice how he is not a white guy with blue eyes and flowing hair? XD I'm going for a more ethnically correct attempt than is done in some bible animations/pictures. Hope it works out okay... :) Enjoy!
