Illustrated Edited Bible

[bulmabriefs144]

I'm gonna lay odds that this might get buried.

I can't pay anyone like a professional, sorry. I guess your payment is that you get to draw pretty much whatever you want given a vague concept. And showcase your work here.

Basically, I have a revision of the Bible. All this started because I didn't like the book of Revelation, and was like "I don't believe in a God who would destroy humanity at end times. But I do believe in God. Time to rewrite the ending." And it was gonna just be a cut and ending rewrite, but Amazon was like "We're gonna try to unpublish this. It's too similar to the original work." Okay, you want me to make new materials?

So eventually it also had Atlantis, Yggdrasil, beastkin, and elves. And an ancient nuclear war. And it has Judas getting visited (and forgiven) by Jesus after his death. Moses getting crossdressed by Hatshepsut. Mary Magdalene being a missionary like the male apostles. Jesus possibly being a futanari or perfect lifeform. Jesus in Buddhist hells before overcoming death. Oh yeah, and Roco the Fox from the In The Beginning anime. It's vaguely feminist, so God is depicted as very much female, while still called He.
Yeah, it's that weird. It needs illustrations for stuff, but I'm not picky. If you have a design, and I think it looks cool, I'll use it. Tell me how to credit you, whether real name or a nickname.

Currently, I have my own rough drawings of...

• God creating light (sorta). That one's from a friend, so that stays.
• Noah's ark
• Burning bush
• Garden of Eden
• Isaiah seeing God in the temple.
• God/angel in a battlefield.

Some of these can be replaced, and I also might want...

• A depiction of Jesus. No beard.
• The Lord (as female) appearing to Rahab, Sarah, or one of the other Bible females. The idea being that God mirrors us.
• Something else? Hell, you could draw one of the edits that I mentioned, and I will see if I can include it.

The only real requirement is that you test it for contrast issues, because I intend to convert stuff to greyscale. And that you write the context of the picture so that I understand where to include it. I'm also gonna welcome my friend to post here.

In before one of the usual suspects reports this for religious reasons.

 

[bulmabriefs144]

Religious stuff should be allowed. Otherwise that's censorship and abridging my 1st Amendment rights. What isn't allowed is heated debates. Anyway, I just want artwork, so no discussion please.

Your signature is awesome, btw.

On it.

If you're looking for an artist, sunshine, head over to the Fiverr.

 

[bulmabriefs144]

Dammit.

Well, I'm looking for a not-contracted artist as in "show me your art and if I like it, I will use it" and ummm I have $1183 in the bank. I can't give anyone more than five bucks, period.

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Dammit.

I'm sorry. Rules are rules, we must abide by them - yes, even if they trample the First Amendment. The First Amendment doesn't exist in the virtual world. When you make an account somewhere, you auto-abide by the rules of that establishment. Sadly.

well, judging from the whole thread itself, this is definitely one of those uneasy things that some people wouldn't like to talk about.

While there are people (atheists) literally called Bible the oldest fanfiction written by someone named Paul, I don't think anyone else should desecrate one's Holy Scripture to the point where everything becomes an insult, or I don't know the other term. Oh right, BLASPHEMY!

So if I were you, I'd rather collaborate with ChatGPT or Perplexity to make some kind of your own Bible for fantasy purpose, or even a contemporary one.

And you should heed my word; do not underestimate religious folks. They might as well try to doxx you in any given chance.

Welcome to the international internet where we dont care about your amendments.

 

[bulmabriefs144]

Harrumph. Fine. If someone is interested, they can DM me about it.

Close the thread but leave it visible?

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Seriously, though, post a notice on Fiverr. I've seen some outstanding artists there available, and some quite affordable.

Honestly, revelations is fairly tame compared to the old testament...I prefer my gods wrathful, spiteful, and for whatever reason, willing to defend male pattern baldness by unleashing bears onto the kids who make fun of people with it.

Revelations: It's a man too drunk to see trying to write. *^^*

 

[bulmabriefs144]

They probably do not do religious work. And I couldn't pay them. And I'd have to set up a fiverr account, and that would mean the dreaded Register page.

Why isn't there a bears emoji? Instead of liking or commenting, I need to send bears after all the ppl who wouldn't gimme art.

That would be hilarious.
Could just quote 2 Kings 2:23-24
Its a wonderful passage.

Polar bears are best, they're nondemoninational.

Beyond that, I suggest working towards mastery on your drawing skills.

I mean... This is a private site and a private forum. I am not from USA myself, but where I live, you act within the rules the homeowner sets.
And while I wouldn't mind the thread itself requesting a specific art, it is impossible to avoid reports on threads like these.
Sorry, I will have to lock this one.
