Death Of The Champion

The highest moment in the project. Twelve year old David raises the head of the ten-feet tall Philistine champion Goliath as seen by the shield bearer.

  17. Thanks, guys. I want to play with the idea that almost the whole time in the story, we're looking down on David at the valley giving the perception that he's the underdog. But when he killed Goliath, armor bearer falls to the ground. From his point of view, we see David in an upshot for the first time. The brushes also play a big part in this shot. They are purposely designed like people raising their hands in worship.

  19. Thanks again for the comments.

    Yes, Simon, it's already in the works. Part of the marketing for this project will be a compilation of the designs complete with research and explanations. Target date would be comic-con 2007. We should talk more about this.
