This started just because I wanted to draw Ascalon with her hair down. It escalated.

[VISIONARY]

One of the GEIST employees I had the honor of designing for the upcoming act 3 of Reflection ttrpg.

thanks to the amazing reception from the folks who tuned into the announcement stream TvT! You get his spectrum of emotions in a single post. Design notes under the cut

First entry

Designing this man was a labor of love. I was tasked with designing a reserved individual who just wants to lay low and get by while giving him his own sense of character. So none of that spiky hair protagonist stuff.

On the other hand, making his hair straight would just run the risk of him being a Satyr look-alike. So that idea had to be defenestrated, too.

I ended up settling for an old classic of mine that's never failed me: cork-screw hair.

I've been getting into drawing hats recently, it makes the Visionary blend in with his peers. Throw that in with a half shaved-head on a pathetic looking old man and you'd get a stamped and approved bisectro design 👍

With the sketch down, it was color placement time.

I had to take into consideration that his hair color provided a balancing contrast to the black of his GEIST outfit that would be later translatable to a casual outfit.

Usually, a good color for that would be RED! The problem: He'd look much like Shadow the Hedgehog. So I just reserved the red for his eye color.

Blue would have been good. But my gut wasn't really feeling it. And I didn't want people to assume he had ties to Ridill.

Frosted tips reminded me of that one B99 gag from years ago where they tied Jake Peralta to a chair and shaved his abhorrent hair off, so blonde was a No.

I was running out of colors on the color wheel.

"Green?" I asked myself, getting desperate. "Won't he look like Breach?"

So I looked inward and examined that I am a SUCKER for characters that show the roots of someone's hair being evident in their design. Born with green hair? You're a protagonist.

Dyed your hair green and left your black colored roots to grow out? Now THAT's a lifestyle choice.

Please tune into the show! I'll be updating this post as more things about him get revealed.

Noah's Ark on Broadway

LISTEN NOW (8 minutes):

Listen Now as Francis Douglas tells of when Noah's Ark was featured on New York City's Broadway stage.

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT:

Today on Celebrate the Bible:

NOAH’S ARK on BROADWAY in 1896

You are not likely to find anything about Noah's Ark on New York City's famous Broadway today … but, at one time, it was the "toast of the town".

Noah's Ark, and the great world-wide flood as recorded in Genesis, is perhaps one of the most easily identifiable events in all of the Bible. The most interesting aspect of this episode is not the illusion itself, but the fact that it attracted so many people from New York City's secular population: from every-day working families, to the City's upper crust … all were thrilled with the experience.

A few points of note:

Technical details of the illusion were featured in Scientific American magazine

The Olympia was the premiere entertainment showplace of the world

Biblical themes were very popular, with all NYC audiences at the Olympia

It was founded and built by famous Oscar Hammerstein

It was reported that audiences were left spellbound after each Noah’s Ark performance

It was so popular and well-received, that the highly respected science publication, Scientific American, devoted an entire page to this Biblically-themed entertainment attraction -- complete with stunning illustrations.

Let’s take a step-by-step look at the Noah’s Ark illusion. I will inter-space the steps throughout today’s presentation.

STEP ONE

Hammerstein's Olympia Theater and Music Hall was once celebrated as the foremost entertainment venue in the entire world.

Located at 44th and Broadway in New York City, it was only two blocks from what is known today as Times Square. The main theater held 2,800-seats. And the building took up an entire city block.

STEP TWO

The rooftop was just as famous as the theater and music hall. It had a 65-foot tall glass roof, and was illuminated with over 3,000 light bulbs. To provide electricity, there were four dynamos that generated 3,200 amps of power. These dynamos also powered a complete air circulation system, and pump, that brought refrigerated water from the basement to the rooftop area -- providing what was a very early version of air conditioning ... in 1896!

Not to be outdone by any other venue, the rooftop also had trees, rocks, and even a stream that eventually led to a 40-foot lake. There were swans, ducks, and even South American monkeys.

And, while you were enjoying all of this, you could walk around the perimeter of the roof, and take in views of Central Park and neighboring New Jersey.

At the time, the cost of admission for everything, including entertainment, was only 50-cents! However, keep in mind, with the rate of inflation from 1896 to 2025, that same fifty cent admission price would be equivalent to roughly $15 to $20 today.

STEP FOUR

The Scientific American publication was founded by inventor and publisher Rufus Porter in 1845. Contributors of note include Thomas Edison, Robert Goddard, Jonas Salk, Albert Einstein, and Linus Pauling -- just to name a few.

STEP FIVE: The SOLUTION

The answer to the filling of the Ark with water is a simple one … the water funnel on the top of the Ark is attached to a hose that runs down through the support beams, then empties under the stage. The water never fills the Ark in the first place.

Other than taking creative license with a few details (for instance, the real ark was never filled with water), it was a wonderful opportunity for audience members to experience one of the great Biblical events on the grand Broadway stage.

Perhaps one day we'll see a revival of the Noah's Ark Illusion, or a variation on the theme. In the meantime, I'm glad to have been able to bring it to you with this Celebrate the Bible 250 podcast.

So, until we meet again, and for celebratethebible250, this is Francis Douglas.


If you would like me to give a presentation and small exhibit to your church group, school, or organization, on the History of the Christian Holy Bible in America, I’ll place contact information below as the 2026 Semiquincentennial America 250 year approaches.

I will be available for Southern New Jersey, Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Northern Delaware.
