Hey Brendan,
Great work as always. Congratulations on finishing the Law.
What not to eat: A lot of humor though this section made it very fun. This is
a definite argument for the inclusion of dialog bubbles if you did a book on
this section. I like the brown animal (gazelle?) in the first picture--the two
horn pieces works well. The rabbit poop is just wrong. :) The furniture is
really nice in that picture. The bacon is clever. I'm not a huge fan of the
fish. On the flying things, I guess it's also unclean to eat baby dragons? How
did you attach the bat upside down? Also, I'd never seen the brown bird. Do
you know what that's from? The tortois is great; I'd never seen the pirate
headscarf in that color before. I'm not a fan of the lizard, though, it's too
much like a green turd. Nice continuity from the plagues to have the gun as a
locust. LOL on Dracula.
Fashion: Hey, he's cutting hair with a locust! The modification of the hair
piece looks much better on this one - did you sand that? In the shaving scene,
is that an actual reflection, or did you have to cut and paste in photoshop?
Nice coffin. Ouch! on the far right guy in the coffin scene. Perfect choice of
figure for the tatoo artist.
Lending: I like the use of the bank windows and the safe pieces. Simple but
effective laptop. The implication of racism is a nice commentary.
Genital Injury: Tobbe is right. Yikes! Lorena Bobbit in ABS form. I'm a bit
surprised you didn't have her carrying a yellow minifig arm away.
Misc.: I like the microfig barn/silo. Simple but very effective. I do agree
with Tobbe on the focus on the farmer, though. I've always loved that donkey
design. When I get around to doing some of the more rural Shire scenes I'm
definitely going to steal some of your animals to dot the countryside. In the
kitchen scene, I've never seen a minifig spoon. Do you know where that's from?
How to keep the law: I like the nursery/preschool room. My mom used to teach
at a preschool and this room looks very authentic to me. What are those printed
tiles on the floor? Some DUPLO pieces? In the next scene, that glass topped
table is outstanding. One question, though--how many times did that fall over
in the course of photography? In the next scene, the use of the white minifig
head for the baby's body works better than your normal 1x1 round. It looks like
he's wrapped in a blanket. I like the mannequin in the window. In the last
scene of this chapter, how did you stick the tiles to the heads? At least on
the far right girl I suspect you cheated and used putty.
Why to keep the law: Very effective bacon and eggs. On the various
skin-diseased figs, did you actually paint the figs, or was this all done in
photoshop? Either way it looks great. In 28:26 I like the werewolf head coming
from offscreen, also the bird pecking the eye and the other pecking the crotch
are particularly effective. God sitting back and drinking some coffee after
he's done is a strong editorial comment.
Following your own compass: For some reason I don't like the microfig town in
this chapter. The illusion doesn't come off as well. In the second picture,
switching to the black book is very effective. I think that book has a picture
on the front, though. Did you have to photoshop that off? I never reallized
those flames could hook together like that! I'm definitely going to borrow that
technique.
Later,
Bruce

| (...) Thanks, Bruce. (...) Yeah, I don't know if a Brick Testament book based on The Law could work at all without them... (...) I was thinking it was a buck deer, but since the antlers don't branch at all, a gazelle may be a better interpretation. (...) (21 years ago, 30-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)
