 Sacred Texts 

I decided to experiment with the effect of meta-drawing using text as its source. Meta drawing with text, is this even a thing? Although I don't have any relationship with religion, it keeps coming back to me, the interest is always there. 
These are images of religious figures drawn with the text of sacred books that they most represent. Jesus and the Bible, Moses and the Quran, Muhammad and the Quran, Ganesha and the Bahgavad Gita, Krishna and the Bahgavad Gita and Buddha and the Tipitaka.
Each image has approximately 160000 characters, and one can read its book for the length that it's possible within the image. For you to actually see the effect you have to download it in full resolution, which is 4000x4000.
