Gerasene Demoniac: I like the effect in the first shot of the disciples at
different heights to show them coming out of the water. Hagrid makes a good
demoniac. What’s the demoniac’s torso, BTW? There appear to be some dots
underneath the beard. Did you actually cut that chain, or is that
photoshoppery? I’ve always wished there were chains of different lengths, btw.
That’s a lot of pigs! I like the photoshoppery on the dispossession, but how
did Mike Crowley get into the Gerasene? The shot of the pigs falling over the
cliff is especially effective. Are the ones in mid-fall just balancing,
attached SNOT-wise, or somehow glued? Or did you quick take photos while a
friend threw pigs at you? :)
Gaderene Demoniacs: I really like the loose pile of 1x1 plates in the first
picture, it really looks realistic. In 30-31, how is the left-hand demoniac’s
right hand held on? I love the three pigs that are half sticking through the
water. In 34, I dislike the way you’ve simply overlapped the light gray
baseplate over a blue baseplate. I think it would look much better if you stuck
gray plates to the blue baseplate the build up a shore. Also that way you can
have a curved shoreline.
Jesus’ Final Appearance: I always interpreted 21:7 as Peter had taken off his
robe, presumably to jump in the water to pull out the net or something. A whole
band of naked fishermen is, well, an interesting interpretation. And why is
John wearing a belt if he doesn’t have pants? ;) In 21:3 I think you
successfully achieved the suggestion that the net is going into the water.
What’s up with the cooked fish? Is that new light-bluish-gray? Or sand blue?
If so, from what set? Or is it just a trick of the lighting that makes them
look different from the light gray fish in the other pictures? The photo in
21:23 comes up as a broken link for me. I like the gray flower vase in the
final picture. Also, in the lower right of the last picture, there is what
looks like a red version of the Indian feathers piece from the western line.
What is that and what set is it from?

These three stories are likely to be the last ones I illustrate for The
Gospels. At least for a good while.

I hope not for good. A lot of the parables have imagery that would be perfect
for illustration. Also many of the miracle stories. For instance, the story of
the man who couldn’t walk, so his friends carry him up onto the roof and then
rip out a hole so they can lower the friend in to where Jesus is speaking--I
could imagine alternating shots from the perspective of the friends on the roof
looking down and the people inside looking up. And have you done the feeding of
the 5000, or walking on water, the Transfiguration, or the ascension? I can’t
find these, though I can picture them in my head--though perhaps that is just
because I can imagine how you might illustrate them.
