Yahoo! More BT!
Last Supper - Hmm, it seems very similar to before, though the photography seems
crisper. Is the old version still there for comparison (for some reason, the
relevant folders on Brickshelf are all suppressed - I can’t imagine any
questionable photos (along the lines of Lot’s relations with his daughters) in
these, which I thought was the point of Kevin’s handling of the BT)? I do see
that it’s a lot more polished comparing the
old to the
new - the seams between bricks aren’t random, you’ve removed the goblets that
were blocking faces, the window frames match the wall, and you’ve added some
exterior outside the windows. You’ve also changed a couple of the disciple
torsos. When did those become standardized? I know I’ve had the problem with
two-year waits between my story updates that sometimes better torsos or heads
appear for characters I’ve already established. One thing I notice is that the
photoshoppery in
this pic isn’t quite precise in that the satan ghost overlaps Judas’ arm.
Arrest - Again, I don’t remember exactly what the original was like, but this
seems crisper. I like the first scene where they’re climbing into the hills a
lot and the kneeling Jesus is very good. I’m not a big fan of the goofy angel
face.
Trial - Ooh, there are some major changes here. I really like Annas and his
floor, and also Caiaphas’ floor and his menorrah, Pilate’s porch and Herod’s
floor. Why the grill bricks on Herod’s floor, btw? Setting these
round bricks into the wall works well. I’m not a fan of that Barabbas face.
Crucifixion - Outstanding as always. I particularly like how you added the
unfocused city in the background of the crucifixion scene. The cross carrying
is also a nice new addition. Are the eyes in
this scene modded or photoshopped? Btw, the minifig positioning in that scene
is particularly good and realistic. The zombie attack is a nice scene - very
Goldmanesque.
Judas’ fate - Where are the silver coins from? I see that there are a few on
Bricklink but neither Bricklink or Peeron list them as being in any sets. Judas
throwing the coins works well (nice floor there, btw), and slightly stretching
the head out in the hanging is a funny effect. Not that it matters, but my
impression was that the tradition was that he hung himself in a tree rather than
inside.
Empty tomb - I get your point, but the way you emphasized the differences
between the accounts is a little heavy-handed. The MOCs are all outstanding
(though it seems like there should be a better solution for the strips of
cloth). I particularly like the use of lighting for in the tomb, out of the
tomb, Jesus in the door, etc.
How the Jews tell it - LOL on the “to this day” scene. Who knew that Harry
Potter was Jewish?
