Abraham made him smile.
The large face on the left is Jesus Christ. On the right going down, Adam and Eve's expulsion from Eden, Cain killing his brother Abel, the Ark and Great Flood, and father Abraham and the Promise. These are pretty much most of the major events of Genisis after the fall of man and the entering of sin into the world, which resulted in death and decay. God then set all the plans in motion for Israel, then nation that would eventually bring forth the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Very nice rendering on Christ's face (his beard/chin is bent to his right, though) and foreshortening on God's arms above Abraham--easily my favorite part.
My only complaints are the montage to the left of Christ's face. Cain's foot seems like it's in an awkward kink that would make him either fall or twist his ankle. Also, both the illustrations for Adam/Eve and Cain/Abel are similar in size and proportion to one another, taking away any vestige of variety, scaling, harmony and balance. You might want to picture these three events in different manners, like different angles, perspective, etc. instead of illustrating the complete figures for all four characters.
The flood and ark could've been bigger (I thought it was Sodom when I noticed that volcanic firebombs do not look like stylized raindrops!) and it could've run in the middle of the picture (possibly symbolizing the gap that was created when God judged the antediluvian world and wiped out everything except Noah's family) with a margin for the bottom image, in the place of the blank gap that seems to divide the picture (instead of causing Abe to integrate with it fully).
Lastly, there is this slightly uncomfortable blank space to the top right next to Adam and Eve. Don't get me wrong--I believe space is important in art, but it must be controlled and manipulated to properly emphasize and subdue. It seems out of place there, instead pushing the illustrations to the left of the picture.
Well, this still goes in my favorites. Nice work. I wonder how you posted this here, though. Do you have to send it to the group admin?
God bless,
Mach
