DEAD gODS - Introduction

[@davidmoss9943]

In the Bible, in addition to being man eating giants, nephilim are referenced as "heroes of old." Many scholars interpret that to mean the heroic deities of pagan mythologies. I'd love to see gods like Thor, Artemis, and Anubis interpreted as some of your nephilim!

[@grigorikarpin]

That’s not accurate, but some has mistranslated it that way in years past tbf

[@samuelsmith5400]

@@grigorikarpin that actually is accurate, Nehe never really translated to Giants it actually translated to “men with great renown” we know that they are Giants through other textural examples

[@owodotzip5021]

Theyre not part of the story, and theres way too many characters in the many lists already

[@raipe125]

More like Demi gods. Gilgamesh, dionysus,asclepios,...not Gilgamesh the other

[@tfly999]

there is one vocation that you didn’t mention, and that’s chef. I would love to have tasted food prepared by someone who had centuries to master their cooking!

Bravo! Joli boulot! Bonne réussite! Stéph.

[@HighShepherdLopes]

You should definitely use a preincarnate Jesus (the Angel of the Lord) in some kind of divine intervention, high tension scene

[@Geeks483]

Can you do something about the annunaki or Greek gods in Norse gods compared to humans

[@mattrhodesart]

We’ll see!

[@Simon-is2xd]

Repost?

[@Cripp-able]

I think so. The first time this video was posted is no longer available.

[@mattrhodesart]

Yes, I fixed the audio mixing

[@NamelessPigeon-w3r]

I truly love the inspiration from the Bible but i am interested as to what you are using as secondary resources to the Bible

[@mattrhodesart]

Quite a lot, from the apocrypha, to science textbooks, to ancient ruins, and whatever else helps

[@itsafish4600]

cool

[@armata_strigoi_0]

This is a re-upload, right? I'm sure I've watched this before.

[@mattrhodesart]

Yeah, I fixed the audio mixing on it

[@armata_strigoi_0]

[@Palpatine15688]

[@mattrhodesart]

It’s not highly likely, but we’ll see how things unfold

The art is peak needs more gods 🙃

[@liamrogerson5971]

Can I ask what drawing program you are you using?

[@abequiner9815]

Question about antediluvian lifespans. The source material (Genesis) names several people who had long lifespans. To you, does that mean all people have similarly long lives? What about the slaves, servants, soldiers, and sacrifices of the watchers and giants? Are these slaves living 500+ years? Do all the shipwrights people live that long?

[@mattrhodesart]

@@abequiner9815 I touch on that a little more in the “Hunter’s Entourage” video. I imagine there’s a general increase in longevity and vitality. Obviously death can find anyone earlier than expected.

[@zachjoldersma3872]

Is the Shipwright based of of Noah?

[@BennyMagnum]

I remembered something I'd like to share while watching a video where you showed that the shipwright was taller than average humans. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit and allowed Sin and Death(which is caused by sin) into the world it corrupted life. In Eden, all animals originally ate plants but gained a taste for flesh once the world was corrupted. Humans, also gained a life span. We also know that the watchers corrupted the human gene pool as. The language used in the original copies of Genesis describe Noah as being pure (many take this as pure of heart) but it actually translates more accurately as genetically pure. Essentially free of demon blood. If Noah and his sons were the only ones left that were still completely human, that puts that flood in a whole new light that is much more congruent with Gods later actions, such as agreeing to spare Sodom as long as even 1 righteous man remained. It also sheds a new light on a lot of brutal stuff that God commanded the Israelites to do. But yes with the devolution and corruption of humanity, of course the Shipwright, who remains uncorrupted, would stand head and shoulders above that rest. Adam was made perfect and the Shipwright is born of that perfection.

[@edwinve4112]

Question about this Project. When talking about taking huge leaps visually from the source material, does that only refer to that only or it's the narrative going to also?

[@mattrhodesart]

My goal is to stay as faithful to the text as possible, while designing from the most interesting visual interpretations available

[@edwinve4112]

​@@mattrhodesartThank you for anwsering me. I was kinda concerned if the Scripture of the Bible was gonna be changed for a different message or agenda. But i appreciate your effort of wanting to stay true to it.
