Joshua stopping the sun (work in progress)

ok guys here is the start of my next idea. feel free to give your suggestions or opinions at any time.

The enemy was being defeated all around but the sun was starting to set. Joshua would have to let the enemy go, only to have them come back and fight another day. Then suddenly something happened that had never happened before, or will never happen again. Joshua commanded the sun to stand still!

“Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.”

I am still building the character Joshua. here he is so far. Joshua was with moses in Egypt and they wondered for 40 years in the wilderness so Joshua had to be older. not feeble and week kind of older but, buff and tough older.

Here he is so far. many thing will most likely be changed but this is the direction i am going with him. he will being standing over an Amorite soldier on the ground.

    Welcome to the Art Studio sub-forum. My comments: it is nice to see people 3D creating art using any program that they feel comfortable with. I assume that you are going to add a background later. I like these old style military outfits too. Thanks for posting.

    yes I plan on doing a whole scene. I love doing bible based themes and this one seems that is could be really fun to do.

    here is a link to my gallery here at DAZ, to give you an idea of what I do.

    The sword is wrong...it should be a wide bladed, shorter bronze sword (can be a sharp point), without a crossguard...or a khopesh (a curved Egyptian sword).

    Some images here...

    I wish you good work !
    (i do think that the Bible, too, could be an interessant, epic source for 3D images.)

    Best regard,

    Thank you for the kind words.

    believe me, if i can do it then anyone can. just keep at it we are all constantly trying to get better. I could show you a have dozen artists, that are around here, right off the top of my head that are a thousand times better than me.
