Massacre of the Anakim - I didn’t reallize there were different faces for the
big round-headed figs. I had one of those in my first LEGO set that could
either be a man or woman depending on whether you added the hat or the female
hair, so I just assumed these were as generic as the classic smiley.

Yeah there are a few different faces for the maxifigs (though I did photoshop
less-than-happy mouth shapes in these images). I think I have three different
faces I use--I also have the one
with glasses, but I
didn’t thikn the Anakim would be that technologically advanced. I wish I had
the one with the enormous
handlebar mustache! I didn’t even know about that one until I just saw it
right now on Bricklink! Wow, that
top hat is pretty spiffy
too!
It is weird to think that in going from maxifig to minifig, LEGO people took a
step toward being more generic.

I like
the inclusion of the bucket, as that is way too big for minifigs.
|
It was nice to get a chance to use that.

My favorite is probably the honey-pot ambush. :)
|
Dastardly. :)

One question--why these and
not Belville figs? I’m sure you’ve bought some Belville sets for the unique
elements, and I’m sure that lots of AFOLs would have enjoyed the massacre of
Belville figs. Or even better, Jack Stone.
|
Back when I did the story of the Sons of God in Genesis, I used maxifigs, and
since these Anakim are descended from the Nephilim, I decided to use the same
figures. But you could argue that the offspring of the Nephilim and the minifig
“human” women would result in something in-between in size, like Belville or
Jack Stone scale figures. Then again--wouldn’t any descendants of the Nephilim
have been wiped out in The Flood?

Joshua Dies - I agree with Lenny, the mood in the first pic is
great--something about the lighting or the focus gives it a foreboding feel.
|
Glad that worked.
Thanks. It’s always interesting to do some under-the-baseplate level
construction.
| |
On to Judges! I’m looking forwarde to Samson, especially.
|
Judges has some really great stories. I’m 85% sure that is what I will start
illustrating next. @8^)
Until then,
