Hey Brendan,

How’s this for turn-around? :)

69 Sons: The idol is really well done. I especially like the bug-eye things with the helmets. The floor idea with the turntable halves is also very nice. In 9:3-4 are those chrome silver coins? If so, where are they from? Both Peeron and Bricklink list only chrome gold.

Massacre at Shechem: I really like that custom hairpiece. Did you have to glue it to the head, or did it hold there by friction? (Or is this a photoshop trick?) In 9:22 I really like the Gungun sub pieces as wall decoration. Cute photoshopped ghost. I’m not sure I like the half-cape thing Zebul is wearing. Is this just a cape folded over? What are you trying to represent there? Jack Stone columns as textured floor is nice, btw. In 9:39 I see that Shechem has perfected sliding-door technology. Where are their patios. :) The tubing arms aren’t bothering me as much in these pics--maybe they’re growing on me? I like the picture layout in 9:45 especially. The black bodies are once again very effective.

Not by a woman: Interesting gate design in 9:51. In both 9:52 and 53 you effectively show the boulder falling. Nice job.

Two guys we’ve never heard of: What really makes this story is the “What did he rescue us from?” “I don’t know!” exchange. I’m not a big fan of the customized medicine man helm as afro. I remember you used this a long time ago in the slavery scenes. Harry Potter hair works better as a fro, IMO.
