The Garlet Sky, I Mean Scarlet Guy

I'm loosely connected with a team of guys at Ethnos who are redoing the church web site. I say loosely connected because a certain guy named Matt is graciously and fortunately very excited about the project and has so far done all the noteworthy work. At any rate, I'm trying to help here and there with a few suggestions and artistic contributions. Unfortunately for everyone asking things of me, I've not been feeling very inspired lately, but rather extreme in the ADHD department like never before in my life.

Anyhoo, a vague image popped into my mind of Christ's hand outstretched. I'm starting with that image in mind as the "goal" and will see where I end up. First step is to start with a suitable hand. I borrowed some cloths from church again cuz the image in my mind has fabric foldy stuff. I took some image tonight that I'll work with when I have time. I thought the poses and shadows looked kinda interesting, so I figured I'd share them here. Obviously the final images will be all cropped out, and you won't be able to tell it was my arm and such. These photos are more for inspirational reference on the shapes and angles.

Since I had the cloths, I couldn't help but take a couple extra photos that will NOT be used on the Ethnos web site. I traveled far to get them though. I wanted an authentic period feel, so I went to where it all began in Israel (all in one evening after work - I'll be especially tired tomorrow!).
