The Spiritman Update 372

What if we get what we deserve? Sounds like that's what Chelsea wants.


“Therefore wait for me”, says the LORD, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 WMB

Doesn't look like Chelsea is in a forgiving mood.


"The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.” Ezekiel 18:20 WMB

The Ark Of The Testimony is the throne of God.

"I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. ” Revelation 5:6-7 WMB

The Spiritman Update 366

Fourth of the 4 Living Creatures from Revelation. So many details yet there is much that is left to the imagination.
 
"The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!” Revelation 4:8 WMB

Third of the 4 Living Creatures from Revelation. Also referenced by Ezekiel. His description is slightly different from the one in Revelation.
 
"Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this: Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward." Ezekiel 1:7-9 WMB

Second of the 4 Living Creatures from Revelation. Also referenced by Ezekiel. His description is slightly different from the one in Revelation.
 
"I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire. Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man. Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings." Ezekiel 1:4-6 WMB

The Spiritman Update 363

First of the 4 Living Creatures from Revelation. I want to eventually combine them into an image of the throne room in Heaven. An amazingly visual passage of scripture.
 
"Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle." Revelation 4:6-7 WMB

Thought it would be interesting to see how an image emerges from a sketch. You will have to stick around for issue 4 to find out how it works out for Scott.
 
"Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver." Isaiah 5:29 WMB

This drawing will likely become the cover for Spirtman #4. A sneak peek into where the story will be going next... Scott is in trouble. See you all on Monday... happy Thanksgiving.

The Spiritman Update 360

I forgot to mention yesterday that we are at the end of issue 3. As is customary I will take a brief break from the story to show off some other images. We will jump into Spiritman issue 4 after the Thanksgiving break.


This image is a reflection on the Covid pandemic. You can watch a video that explains it fully by visiting spiritmancomics.com and signing up for the Fan Club.


For the LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:3 WMB

When Funny-animal Comics become more than funny

Anthropomorphic animals have long been used by amatuer and pro creators to express intangable truths and values.There's not a whole lot of crossover comics between True-story, Manga, Superhero, Graffiti-style and Anthro comics; each genre having been skillfully developed for a specific fan-base. As an Anthro web-comic artist, I occaisionally wonder if I've chosen the best vehicle for expressing Spiritual truth.

Anthro comics have a huge "fun factor" and permit a lot more freedom of direction in characters, expressions and plot directions. And like with spandex and sculpted superheroes, both fan and creator soon get past what the character is and get into their motives and values.

I just wrapped up a year-long story, AbalonofCalifornia, on Deviant Art gallery and decided to let my readers ask questions of the characters: https://www.deviantart.com/bscruffy/art/Ask-Character-a-Question-895960855  .        The questions have been fun, and I tried to keep the answers fun as well.  One of the main characters, Patron, is clearly a 'Christ-figure' in the story, and a reader asked Patron "Are you the patron saint of anything other than Abalon?"    CSLewis (Author of the Narnian Chronicles) had one of the principle characters pose this question to Aslan, the Christ-like Lion of Narnia: "Are you just the King of Narnia or are you in all worlds"?     Whew; loaded question!

As I considered how my character, Patron, would answer...and how Christ might answer...and I looked to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, where CHrist goes deep into his identitiy; I considered what a powerful vehicle "funny animals" can be.9792088285?profile=RESIZE_710x
