[scott56]

Back again, it's the Lords Throne.

In the bible, Revelation chapter 4.

Here's the outline and current progress

Woah, that's really looking good. What do you use to make it ?

[scott56]

thanks for the good words!

back on this.

Glorified body we will be receiving, and worshiping once we die. The bible talks about putting on the new man, the old one has passed away. It is a symbol and tribute to God just as baptism. Yet on this earth we try to worship our own, something seems not right doing that, its the sin nature that brings us back down. One of many reasons why I drew a circle around his head not to show he is king of the world, but he gives life and breath to everything. In order for that, one must be born from the womb, and that is another idea of the circle..

Here is where it is based from. The bible in the book of Revelation chapter 4.

1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits [fn1] of God. 6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

"Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,

who was, and is, and is to come."

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being."

The picture is AMAZING! Great job on all the detail, it will turn out just as good, if not better than the Hell Sketches.

[Ocheeva]

its gona be awesome cool

[saltovergray]

Amazing.

I don't know what to say.

[Lucy]

I really love this, youve got some awesome talent.

[FloppyDiskClock]

Would you mind posting links of the images from a image host so that we can inspect them larger?

[SprintT]

The day that I can write as well as you can draw will be the day that I can die happy. I went through your whole gallery and they are all amazing. Although the crossing over picture is pure genius; I expect that picture to be placed within a museum someday. Truly inspirational.

[podliver]

that is some insane detail...

[Fatchaos]

Im not much into religion or anything like that, but that is wicked sick.
You know, that is something people could acctualy even pay for...

[scott56]

The gift of eternal life in paradise is free. All you must do is believe that Jesus came to the world to die for our sins so that we can be re-united with the father (God). The bible talks about conforming to the likeness of His image and becoming children of light. He is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path. Once we believe Jesus took our sins and bad deeds and paid for them through a sacrifice on the cross, it washes our heart clean and makes it acceptable to Him once we die.

[FloppyDiskClock]

So I guess that means no links to the files so we can inspect them better?

[scott56]

I hope this post is a bigger image!

Another update.

[scott56]

closer view

[Vousielle]

Revelations makes for some suitably epic source material. However, Jehovah's (or other name for the Abrahamic deity) legs are out of proportion to his torso. Seeing how the finished portions of the piece are correct and well-done, I am assuming you are planning to fix it in-process. Please post more often so we can follow the process, I for one, am finding it fascinating.

also, is it charcoal\chalk so far?

[TheL1st]

ru a lefty or is this digital?

[scott56]

True it might be out of proportion. It was from memory since I didn't have a live model. I'm not willing to sit naked in front of the camera :) Clothes are limiting but they cover scary things. javascript:MakeSmileySelection(4);

[scott56]

All pencil and charcoal, and most definitely a righty.
