Hi.
I can’t come up with so much specific points to comment on except what has
already been mentioned by others. I would just like to say that the stories seem
to be up to your usual high standard and that I’m following the new stories with
excitement. I’m not very aquainted with these stories about Saul and the like,
so I was kind of like “Oh my God, the Philistines have got the ark! What’s going
to happen now?!” in between your previous two updates.
I wonder if you missed out on an opportunity to portray a monumental siege scene
in 1 Samuel 11:1 when the Ammonites expressedly besiege Jabesh-Gilead. I mean,
you already had a city wall and tents for the siegers. And as I understand siege
machines weren’t really invented or well developed at that time, so you wouldn’t
have to bother about building much in that way.
On the other hand, the picture of the Ammonite army with their round shields
looks quite pretty in itself, even if you already have a lot of those
(photoshopped? ;) ) army mass scenes in your bible already.
And I understand that it must be a hard decision between spending a massive time
on overworked sceneries for specific stories, as opposed to getting further in
the storyline of this big book. You’ve already come a long way! Soon you’ll only
have the prophets and other less narrative parts of the Bible left.
By the way, I found a kind of weird illustrated version of one of those
mysterious prophetic parts of the bible, the Book of Revelation:
