I thought they look like tattoos. It's their respective "curses". After god banished Adam and Eve from the garden, he also gave them punishments. Adam would work all his life, grow crops from rough ground with his own hands, Eve would experience excruciating pain in childbirth. Hence cracks on Adam's hands and Eve's stomach.
Those are flowers not stone.. I don’t think so.. and the cracks are indeed cuz they’re made of clay 💔 the ones on the hands and stomach are curse, not cracks.
Looks like the artist just has different ways of drawing. The strokes and the designs match up pretty well. Looked at their old art and you could tell it was just older, the style was very similar.
It's not wildly different, they just don't post very often. Majority of their posted art is from over a year ago, and don't forget people tend to post what they're proud of, not every single drawing. This is not AI (if you were suggesting that). This drawing is more polished than the others because they got better over the course of a year.
They should have no belly button since they have not been born, also, to add to the realism, Adam should have maybe a scar from where his rib was taken
This could be interpreted as one rib, a bunch of ribs, or even Adam being split in half.
In one interpretation the original adam (human) had two heads,four arms, four legs and was hermaphroditic, then this thing was split in half to create Adam and Eve.
And so when it says humans were made in god's image, it is talking about this 8 limbed, two headed, hermaphroditic version of human.
Nice art, but it would be better if you gave Adam African facial features instead of just making his skin darker. His face doesn't exactly match his skin colour.
Yes I know that Africa is diverse, but his face still reads as a European baseline rather than being designed with any specific African ethnicity in mind..
From what I've seen, it seems to be a common issue where some artists don't study ethnic differences and end up using European features as a default for every character regardless of where their background is from
My point was never about the skin color, the artist can make Adam and Eve whatever they want, it's their interpretation. It's just the combination of dark skin with purely European features that doesn't read as any specific intentional design choice. 'It's art' doesn't really explain that inconsistency.
He looks like he’s hitting that bodybuilder “suck in the stomach” pose, idk why though. OP’s response was needlessly snarky, though it is admittedly unfortunate we have to have this discussion in the first place, but I did go check the IG and the timelapses for his other recent works do seem legit.
Your technique is good, but I would definitely do some anatomy work- Adam's ribcage/ stomach is really awkward/off putting, and kind of detracts from the rest of the art.
I create art inspired by biblical characters, angels, saints, and demons, reinterpreted through my own artistic vision, with respect above all else.

Omg the amount of hate OP is receiving is monstrous. The art is itself is really good, you can definitely be proud. But some contextual choices were interesting (belly button, rib cage, etc.). But who has to stick to the context all the time ? Art can be subjective as well.
Nice work OP
I mean, r/drawing has sucked for so long. If you don't draw a half naked woman, people are gonna bash the drawing
Not sure I like the imagery of Adam being a massive muscles bulging dark skinned man with blue eyes(I'll die on the hill that drawing black characters with blue eyes is a sign that you only like the skin color because you think its cool) and eve being a buff much smaller blonde chick.
Also like another comment said he has very white features for a dark skinned person
Feels very weird and like a fetish thing. Also why are they so buff?
I’ve always imagined them like humble persons being afraid of everything after they were set out of the Eden. But these two with their tough look seems to be able to manage any curse they are given and still smile and be happy. I like it a lot)
Technically, coloured eyes are a mutation. Also coloured hair was not a thing. Not meaning to criticise, just saw the Adam had coloured eyes and it knocked me out of the fantasy
Man, the Christianity fandom got very heated over this...
Are you by any chance inspired by @/polluxery on insta? The graphic elements, lineart and some choices of clothing design remind me of his work. I like it and I can tell it's not ai. Maybe some anatomy was pushed too far and some facial features for Adam not enough but overall the piece is nice and it doesn't matter if you made one black and one white, literally why do people care about that specifically... You don't have to apply complete logic over biblical depictions, and I say that as a Christian too... Y'all are embarrassing, especially those making it weird due to them being an interracial couple. Literally lmao.
This isn't what an r/ drawing comment section usually looks like in my experience. Some people just fixated on things they didn't like a lot more than I expected out of this sub for your piece.
A question: If Adam and Eve were the first human beings then their children would have had kids with each other (brother's and sister's). But Christianity, Leviticus (chapter 18), is strongly against incest.
Honest critique, while the art is well done, I have some major gripes
For starters, there is a lot of subconscious stereotypical fetishization. If Eve comes directly from Adam why would she be white? Even Having both of them be white would’ve been significantly better than this tbh. Theres already enough media trying to kill the concept of black love, where a black man and black woman cannot coexist with one another. While I have no issue with interracial relationships, when media goes out of its way to erase a black woman, I can’t approve
Also large muscular dark skin man with curvy white woman screams more of a pornhub search than it does anything related to Christianity (I’m not even Christian and find it kinda offensive lol)
For me personally, “good art” is not enough. What is the message you’re putting into the universe with your craft? That’s what truly matters
dunno why the comments are hating, but i love this personally! i think it’s cool what you do with the vine esque depictions on their skin (assuming it’s related to their curses?)
We don't know what color they were lol since Eve was created from Adam's rib, this can also be interpreted in different ways. The Bible does not describe their physical appearance in detail, so art ends up leaving room for different interpretations.
Why? because of the blatant interracial kink? Makes no sense to have them both different races bdw, Eve is literally Adam's rib, and she got a belly button for some reason
