Early release

February 15, 2024

Hey all!

Short post; I'm thinking of potentially releasing Exodus in pieces as I go and then as a whole. Each part is just taking too long to complete (a lot of things this side to do). I have by no means given up, I just don't want it to release many many years down the line and then it look terrible, because AI took over the world. I want people to still be able to enjoy it, you know... Heck, I'm considering releasing it in a massive chunk as far as I am.

Just thinking out loud here. I do have a strategy in mind, so that does put this a few months out regardless.

GOD bless you! :D

Next step for Exodus

May 17, 2022

Hey all!

Just dropped in to let you guys know that I have not abandoned the project. I've just been really really busy trying to keep us from going under as a family, lol. It's worse than it sounds, but the LORD has been good to us and has blessed me in pretty much everything I've tried, so we have managed so far and will continue to improve!

I'm basically working towards having the free time to work on this, without being concerned about the income stream. Once I can do that, I would have my h...

3 - Holaaa at the next model

September 21, 2021

Hey all!

What next model? Well, I'd love to tell you, but I just can't. It's too early in the post, hehe.

Okay, you win! lol.

I recently joined CGTrader and started loading models from the short films - and some related new ones! They take some work to convert from Blender Render, but oh my-my-my-my-my are they pretty when they land!!! You can check them out here!

Store Page

Each one links to the model's page on CGTrader, for example.

So, when I post a model, I usually proceed to the next one, but ...

Pharaoh's room done for now

June 13, 2020

Pharaoh's room was quite the challenge and I spoke about this before. Since he was a royal and thought himself a literal god, I can promise you he wanted the best of the best and wanted you to throw that away and get something even better! lol. No, just kidding. I don't know how much of a brat he was. For all I know he actually cared much for his people, but had a prideful and fearful heart that caused his irrational choices - apart from GOD hardening his heart - which is still quite a myster...

Abaddon - The Destroyer

April 16, 2020

Listen to the post:

Hey all!

So yesterday, my cousin and I were talking about the end times and a teaching we had listened to earlier in the week concerning the same, and I recalled the part in Exodus 12 (thank YOU LORD) about the destroyer, so I did a little digging to see if the mention on Revelation is the same from Exodus.

Let's start with these:

"And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

And he opened the...

Slow and somewhat steady

December 30, 2019

Hey all!

I'm still on pharaoh's room and while most of it is organized and set to receive some frogs, including Pharaoh, I am still at a bit of a loss as to what to do with the open area left. You could say his room is "half full" hehehe.

So, on that note, let's focus on something that is finished and that is Pharaoh's hand mirror. Now, they didn't have mirrors like we do today and I did some extra digging:

Hand mirror design for Pharaoh - toon vs background element.

The originals look a bit diff...

Pharaoh's room

May 28, 2019

Hey all!

As you all know, we are still at the frog plague (thankfully not for lack of work on Exodus itself, hehe). To be more precise, we are at the point where the plague continues over night, because the conversation went like this:

"And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to th...

The song is finished

April 25, 2019

Hey all!

Spoiler: Yes, the song is finished, hehehe.

I am so overjoyed that it is completed! It took me about two months to get it done, just because I was so busy with other things and procrastinating!

One day I knew the LORD wanted me to work on it, my excuse was to sweep the house, hehehe. It's not because I resented or didn't want to work on it, but there is always the enemy there telling you all manner of nonsense about how it will or will not turn out, about how much people care, or shall ...

Production status update

March 30, 2019

Hey all!

Long time no post, hehe.

I'm glad to say that Exodus is not a project that has been dropped by any means. I just have a lot on my plate and I'm actually working on an aspect of it that I really want to share with you guys!

For a while now, I really have felt that the LORD wants me to write original music. Considering that I have basically 0 experience writing songs, this was not something that I jumped into with confidence. In fact, I didn't. While going for piano lessons, I learned how...
