Enmity

Hello to all of my kind and interested readers!  I am sorry it's been so long, but this past and final semester at MCAD has left me little time to post, but now that it's summer, you can expect a lengthy resumption of posting.

To start things off, I've got this illustration I made in my anatomy class.  It was open ended, and all it needed was some example of human anatomy.  This is an illustration of the Genesis 3:15 text, " I will put enmity between thee and the woman," addressing Eve and the Serpent, Satan.  The wheat and foliage is to show how fruitful Eden was before the fall, and Eve has just been deceived by the serpent.

Samson

This is an illustration of Samson killing 1,000 Philistines with a donkey's jawbone. I think that's such a brutal story. The scriptures say that "The Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him. The ropes on his arms became like charred flax, and the bindings dropped from his hands. Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men." Judges 15:14-15

That place was later called "Ramath Lehi," or "Jawbone Hill."

Samson

I get to take ANOTHER anatomy class this semester!! YEAH! Somehow, it has worked out that the first semester of my senior year contains NO illustration classes... go figure. Anyway, I've been trying to find other ways to fill in illustration hours. So, in addition to my joy at getting back to a little life drawing, I am happy because this class has two self guided assignments where we can incorporate this class into our major. I'm gonna do an illustration about Samson, because despite making a lot of bone-head decisions, he was a pretty BA guy. The illustration is a snapshot of him killing ONE THOUSAND Philistines with the jawbone of an ox. brutal.
I don't know how much process I'll get up on this, but I figured, "I've got the sketch scanned, I might as well."
