I feel we are ignoring like 80% of what a shepherd life is in that description. Like he would have hunted any animal that could poach his herd, built a water reservoir to keep them near drinkable water. Would have built sturdier shelters to keep them enclosed, done 800 years of home repairs, patching scratches, painting walls, raising fences. Builder, hunter, architect of aqueducts, doctor, veterinarian. If you give a man enough time, he will build the basics of civilization 100s of times over. Hell if you gave me a 100 years and the wool that comes with it. I would also probably become a master weaver. Just saying.

Here's the balance I'm trying to strike: I could spend 100 hours diving into every consequence of living for centuries, which would certainly be fun. BUT I have to focus on the information that will effect this particular character's design, in a way that allows me to keep a good pace going. This is also only the first character. The project will explore much of the world. Lots of opportunities to dig in.

Yesterday was the first time I've checked DeviantArt in a year. After a couple minutes scrolling down the homepage, your art of the Shipwright was the *only* non-AI art that I saw. Lo and behold, here you are on my KZbin homepage the next day. I didn't realize what the story was about, even though when viewing the art I thought "wow, I wish people drew stuff like this for Pre-Flood stories." Now I see the foot treading on the snake's head, and the snake biting the heel, and my hopes are heightened.

If it has been translated, you should consult "Joseph and his brothers" as retold by Thomas Mann. It's an incredible read and gives you insight into the period, the religious and cultural background and context, and into great characters.

I LOVE the Bible inspirations seeing people instead of breaking away from religious inspirations kinda hurts not just because I’m Christian myself but also because it’s as if people are denying culture so to see all of the Bible symbolism in this is awesome. Also i like the way the Shipwright reminds me of Moses from The Prince Of Egypt gives a little touch to it that helps remind the viewer/reader that this story has roots to bible stories. However another good representation of a shepherd in the Bible would be Jesus Christ as he is very often used as a metaphor for a shepherd guiding his sheep

I love this creative process. Gets my creative juices going too. This obviously not what you had in mind but I personally see similarities between "The Shipwright" and Newt Scamander. Like if the shipwright was a better developed Newt but with 400 years of experiwnce. Like he's an obvious animal lover and caretaker, that knows how to cater to their needs but also tame them.
