Cherubim with a Flaming Sword

Share

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 3:24


A cherubim armed with a flaming sword as described on Genesis 3:24 with the biblically accurate angels description we have on Ezekiel 1


It's a frame from my Genesis Promo animation:

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

its the angel creature described on the bible, likeness of a man. four faces one of a man, one of an eagle, one of a lion, one of an ox and the appearance of burning coals and full of eyes

⁵ Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
⁶ And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Ezekiel 1:5,6

¹⁰ As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:10

As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Ezekiel 1:13

Flaming sword

Well you cant go wrong with a flaming sword here I think even adding in some added flame effects on the backround would have been a plus here I like the Blend of style and uniqueness you bring And so with this piece The fires of creativity burning within another inspiring piece, Great flaming element you have created here just needs more effects of some type nice work regardless

~X~

The eyes... the level of detail with those eyes is pretty impressive!

Digging the overall design here, though I feel like the flames get in the way. Feels messier than need be; you don't really get to appreciate the background for all it is. BUT as a still frame this is hella impressive. All this detail in each frame. Damn man. Curious how long an animation typically takes you to make?

Intriguing promo for the full motion compilation in which it is but a brief piece too, you wonder how this all comes to be there...

-cd-

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

thanks! i tried to make it looks like how it's described on the bible (Ezekiel 1), like radiant creatures, full of flames and sparkles. Well it appears like that on the animation this cherubium one doesn't move. The longer eps usually takes some months to be made

He watches you jerk it

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

if you jerk many and many times, angels may give up on watch on you, and demons starting watching instead of them

I love this so much! We need more angels like this!

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

thank you for your review! i'm glad you liked it
