King Baldwin IV, the Leper King

This was a lot of fun to work on. Originally I was going to draw him on a dark grey or brownish horse but then made it a dappled grey horse. The composition was originally going to be a lot lighter, taking place during the day time. However, as I progressed. I made the decision to make it a battle scene during a vibrant sunset.

This was a huge accomplishment. It was not long ago that I would've never even dreamed to draw a knight on a rearing horse portrait. But here we are.

Here is a close-up as well! Comments and critique appreciated.

Today, on the fourth Sunday of Lent we celebrate the Venerable John, Abbot of Sinai and author of the Ladder of Divine Ascent (or the Climacus). This indispensable book stands as a witness to the great effort needed for entrance into God’s Kingdom (Mt.10: 12). The spiritual struggle of the Christian life is a real one, “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the present darkness the hosts of wickedness in heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). Saint John encourages the faithful in their efforts for, according to the Lord, only “he who endures to the end will be saved” (Mt.24:13). The troparion of Saint John is chanted by St. Kassiani Antiochian Archdiocese Choir of Australia. May he intercede for us always + #saint #john #ladder #ladderofdivineascent #johnclimacus #climacus #book #lent #greatlent #kingdomofheaven #God #easter #pascha #journeytotheresurrection #resurrection #sinai #abbot #egypt #orthodox (at Sinai, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOiHccjGm9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fantastic News!!

The proof copy came in today!! It's likely that the final book will look similar to this - if I end up having to self-publish. The proof copy exists to help me check for formatting issues (and it has already exposed a few...)

See my pinned post for more information!

HAHAHA FRICKKKKKK I had a kind of shot in the dark thing going where I sent a proposal for Kingdom of Heaven to exactly one (1) major publisher just in case.... told them I'd be finished on 8/20... and guess what.... they want to read it

THE PLOT IS THERE, THE CHAPTERS ARE THERE

MY CONFIDENCE IS NOT THERE... YET

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement on KoH! Means a lot to me. Excited!

:D

glad to hear!

I really like the characters. I was sorta making memes of them in my head but thought it wouldn't fit the setting, But then I stumbled upon "Cam goes to reddit". I really like Cam, He's such a jerk but in an interesting way (though I'm sure I would hate him IRL)

I can't really say how developed they are (I haven't read that far yet, but this has been good an I plan to read as far as I can) but I love how honest they feel.

nobody, not even "Bad guys" or "Villains" is a straw-man of any kind. they all talk and act like they genuinely believe in what they do. That's one of the things that a lot of political fiction lacks.

#it was also a little funny to be reading an actual book #like #an actual stand alone book #but see it tagged the way I normally see fanficts tagged #I understand why #but it is soooo funny to read a dystopian story about manipulated characters and see 'whump' as a tag underneath #kingdom of heaven #KOH #kingdomofheaven

what inspired you to write The Kingdom of Heaven?

*laughs in "so much"*

When I was 12 years old I was part of an environmental science program where our teacher, a super scary stern gray-haired woman, taught us very emphatically about the dangers of overpopulation. We first of all learned about the notion of "carrying capacity" (a valid science for animal populations which can't control their consumption of resources or spatial needs) then did some bogus math to determine the exact carrying capacity of the Earth to support humans.

It turned out the Earth couldn't support more than 9 billion people or something like that. (By the way we didn't take into account fishing as a food source, or obviously any potential future improvements in farming practices, or, or things even 12 year old me could think of etc.)

After finishing this we learned about the Earth's supposedly exponential rate of population growth, how the stable rate of reproduction is approximately 2.2 children per couple (that is, per woman) or something like that, and then after THAT, we all sat down at a long table and she asked us to write down and then say out loud how many children we wanted to have when we grew up.

I think there was only one person in the class who dared to say more than "2", after all that. Most people said they didn't want to have any children at all.

*

How disappointing is it that I spent my entire childhood wanting to "go to the forest" when like 60% of my state is covered in forest? I guess part of it came from not being able to go outside as a kid, because of fear of kidnapping by strangers etc., and when I finally did, being shocked that it was actually right there the whole time not far away in some fantasy land. *

When I was 16, I was in a "health" class where we undertook the section of the class meant to deal with body image, eating disorders, body positivity, etc. As a matter of fact, at the time, body positivity was just coming into vogue, and the teacher wanted to prove to us that fat people were unfairly oppressed... a point that could have been made in any number of ways... but here is what she did.

We were all given a sheet of paper with three sillhouettes of women on it, and there was no difference between them except that they were horizontally stretched. Underneath these images was a checklist asking us to rate which of the women was most beautiful, most successful, most intelligent, etc.

We were distributed this paper face down, told to turn it face up and had 3 minutes to fill out this questionaire. The idea was to get "impressions" and "not to think too hard about it".

Does this seem engineered to produce a specific result?

It gets worse. After the time was up (my protests about how this didn't make sense were ignored, so i just gave random answers) the class's answers were tallied to prove that each of us had subconscious bias against fat people. Imagine: forced to judge, then judged for judging. Collective guilt, public shaming. It was only later I learned these were actual brainwashing techniques developed by the Soviets.

*

Children can sense when something is unfair, but they don't have the tools or vocabulary to articulate when they're being literally brainwashed.

Imagine what it's like to go from being a Christian homeschooler from a family of 6, having at least dabbled in co-ops as well, at the home of a family with 12 kids, to sitting in a high school or college classroom. A classroom where it's at least loosely insinuated if not outright stated that ~those kinds of people~ (your kind) are backwards, uneducated (where you learned to read at the age of 4 and have been reading classics since you were 10), racists (where your colorblind ass shared a playpen with black kids who you later shared a history curriculum with, believing that you were living MLK's dream) xenophobes, (where you learned eagerly and with interest about the history of cultures all over the world as though they were your own) and basically the scum of the earth. * "The Kingdom of Heaven" is basically a vision of the world as I see it. The plot has a fair bit of factional drama, but ultimately is based in trying to tackle false slander of the Christian community head-on, while also seeing the "other side" as people. While heavily based in my own experience it also is built around spiritual themes and messages that will be pretty hard to miss.
