..."You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."...
1 Samuel 17:1-58

This one became a bear. It started out a simple sketch that I thought I'd add some color too but I just kept adding and adding until a month and more later I ended up with this. The biblical text said david had a staff but he musta dropped it just before he let fly his stone and it also says Goliath's shield bearer went before him..umm..maybe he went to go get david's staff?..anyway..for now this is my definitive take on david and goliath and I'll be retiring my other versions to scraps.


..thanks

That is awesome! And the size just makes it even more direct, forcing the viewer to look downward at Goliath and David. Very cool!

Jawdropping. I love it.

...David's skirt probably wouldn't be allowed in my school though.

haha..i dont think david would call his clothes a "skirt" he might sling that rock at someone who did.

very very nice! the clouds have been done very realisticly, and goliath looks like how i pictured him! I love digi paintings like this! and its cool that goliath isnt just standing there, when i was a kid, childrens books seemed to portray that davd had such an easy target because goliath was just standing still, hehe!

This is cool! Nice detail. You conveyed the story very well. Now you need to do a 2nd one where Goliath is dead and the God of Israel is victorious!

Once again, very nice work.
