Ah, more death and destruction.
Family Stoned, Burned: There are several great creations here that hide under
soft focus in the background--the microscale Ai, the trees, the city gate, and
the tents made of capes. Do you have focused pictures of these? I'd like to
see them in greater detail. In this and the next installment I dislike your
depiction of the men of Ai. I think it's the backwards helmets--seems a little
Python-esque (not that that is usually meant as a criticism). Nice use of the
pirate torso for Joshua's torn clothes. God's elbowless arm doesn't bother me
as much as the previous time you did this. It feels kind of cartoony. In 7:24,
is that a new goat design? I'll have to add it to my listing of animals. In
that same pic, great baby. Where did you get a blank tan head? Is that a
Brasso'ed Tusken Raider? Nice detail to have the burned version of the baby a
few pics later (does that make me sound cruel?).
12,000 Massacred: In 8:2 the map doesn't work as well as the previous instance.
I think it's the water in the lower left quadrant that doesn't fit. I like
Joshua's speech in 8:7 and the orange sky as they march in 8:10. Very
forboding. Ah! Attack of the warriors with the silly hats again! I do like
the king a lot. Is that one of the torsos from the new Jelly-bean knights line?
In 8:17, I'm a little surprised. After the scantily clad men of Ai, the women
are all very conservatively dressed. The red and green dresses look great,
especially with the variation in height. How many of those are Imperial Guard
torsos? The taller woman front and center seems to be, but it doesn't show up
clearly. I really like the columns you have in the background made of the 4
1x1x6 square-round-square bricks. In 8:22, are those unfocused minifigs, or
stacks of red, green, and yellow plates? Beyond them, what elements are you
using for the distant Israelite troops in brown? In 8:24, the woman in the
midst of being chopped in half in the center of the screen is particularly
effective. I'll have to try something like that.
