Interactive Parables

Artists Needed Now!

For Interactive Parables (and our next title)

Create original illustrations or Color Old Bible Illustrations

You start with something like this black/white illustration.

Color the picture cells - use solid colors unless the picture forces something else (for example, one artist used a lot of diagonal lines as textures in the original drawing).

Separate each "cell" of the picture into its own file - save it as high quality jpeg and at 512 pixels at least on one edge, let the other edge scale appropriately. If it works well with the image, blur the edges.

Another Example.

Don't do these images, they are already done. See the assigned list to the right.

Lesson list - what ones needed colored and what one needs original illustrations generated.

Interactive Parables - Screen Shots

Some maps have force fields that have to be navigated around.

Be sure to visit the hearts as they restore your health and save your progress.

Narrow plank ways can be a challenge and be sure to avoid the large walking boots.

On the Chimneys level, one better not be afraid of heights!

If you are trying to get the maximum amount of points, be sure to gather all the gold plus signs.

If you gather all five gems in a level, you can complete the map and win a crown. Thanks to Paul Bury for Screen Shot.
