Hey Brendan,

What a nice little surprise to finish the week.  I'm in that "not quite time to
leave but too late to start something new on a Friday afternoon" mode, so I
check Lugnet, and here's a new parable.  :D

Title:  Hmm, I probably would have chosen a different title, as the torture is
hardly the point, is it?  I believe that in Christian texts this is usually
called something like "Parable of the Unmerciful Servant".  Anyway, on to the
MOC.

I like the throne room a lot.  Did you challenge yourself to have a whole room
with no studs-up orientation (except the figs) (oh, and except three pieces of
the throne)?
On the throne, I appreciate the idea of using the backpack pieces as details,
but to me it just looks like the king has backpacks stuck to his throne, which
seems odd.  Also on the throne, in 18:31 especially, but also elsewhere, the
color on the bottom two slopes looks different than the rest.  Is this a trick
of the lighting, or is this a new brown vs old brown issue?  If so, I have to
say the new brown looks icky.
The torture scene comes together especially well--the effect of having him
stretched out on the rack, the torture tools, the choice of faces, the printed
wall elmements.  What are they doing with that flame?  Ouch!

Later,
Bruce

(...) Yeah, I was happy to finish this one up a little ahead of schedule. (...) It isn't? I could be wrong, but I thought this parable was one of the easier ones to "decode". The master in the story stands for God, and the slaves stand for humans. (...) (20 years ago, 13-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
