Hey Rev,
Awesome! I’d been wondering when the next installment would come. I like the
new background, BTW.
Izban, Elon, and Abdon - Hmm, not a lot here. Not sure why you chose to
illustrate this. I never knew how much of a ladies’ man Elon was.
Samson is Born - What’s the lobster bib in the first pic? I really like the
blue/white studless room in 13:1, very striking. I assume from before that
Samson’s mom’s hair and his hair/beard piece are some sort of prototype elements
and therefore “official”, but personally I don’t really like the look of either
of these elements. However, I know it’s hard to keep creating identifiable
characters with a limited number of piece desings. I like that Manoah is hiding
in the bushes while his wife talks to the angel. Also her dropping the sausage
is funny. In 20-21, is that angel supported by something other than the flames?
I didn’t think the flame-flame connection could bear that much weight. Nice
face for Samson.
Mass Murder - Very cool lion! Other build details that I really like are the
sort of torch things in the dining hall and the blue technic axels in gray
axel-holes as wall details in Samson’s house. My favorite moment is “So, do you
like, um, stuff?” Samson is so suave.
Arson - Verse 1, Not really the master of subtlety, is he? :) I like your
jackal solution. I probably would have used antennas for the grain field, as
the stacks of 1x1 rounds are a little thick. The black burnt field is
particularly effective for some reason. In the last scene I really like the
cave. The rock reminds me of
this from Brickfest.
Slaughter - Vs 9 - Those hairpieces make me feel lost in the 80’s, btw. Good
jawbone solution. The pic where Samson is hitting a Philistine in the ear is
probably my favorite. I’m not a fan of the water spray. To me it looks more
like the Sarlaac or some other alien animal living underground with lots of
tentacles and stuff. I suppose trans-blue flames wouldn’t look like a huge
fountain, though.
Anyway, looking forward to the scene where Samson brings the house down.
Bruce

| Hey, Bruce. (...) Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the new look. Easier to read, and hopefully a little nicer to look at. I also dispensed with the two letter abbreviations for the books of the Bible. When I started the project, I mistakenly thought (...) (19 years ago, 17-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
