Hey Brendan,
Great job as usual.
Prostitute - Great face choice for the prostitute; that over-done eye shadow is
perfectly slutty. The blue/white aesthetic you use for the Philistine town is
very remniscent of Deborah Higdon’s
microscale Santorini. The, um, position in the second photo is a good
variation on your previous depictions of fig relations. As much as I disliked
the hair/beard piece you used in the earlier Samson stories, when I read this
one I reallized what you were doing and the overall effect is really good. You
could have added a couple of more variants in between, starting with the classic
hair mold and also adding the Harry Potter hair in between.
Samson and Delilah - I’m really digging the customized hairpiece you used for
Delilah. Great job on that. In pictures like 16:9 I really like the
Philistines hiding behind furniture in the background. The tied-down Samson
pics would have been good for a certain contest on JLUG a while back. BTW, that
red couch (best seen in 16:12) is a really simple yet effective piece of minifig
furniture. 16:21 - ouch! Nice blindfold, and the millstone thing he’s pushing
in the last pic is exactly as I’ve imagined it (or perhaps seen it illustrated
in some children’s Bible picture), though it might be better with the handles in
brown.
Final Mass Murder - BTW, I agree with Steve on “murder” vs “kill”. These are
different words, and your previously stated MO is to go with the straight
translation of the text, which would imply “kill” at various places. Story
titles are a different thing, though, I would agree. Great blue/white
architecture. BTW, I’ve complained previously about the flex-tubing-as-arms
solution, but in 16:29 it looks right to me. I guess I’ve always imagined that
scene with his arms stretched straight, so the lack of elbow doesn’t look so
odd. I see your comment upthread about the use of a LEGO paperclip. Very
clever. I thought you maybe had a white spider-man climbing rope running
through the tires to hold them in place and it was just suspended above the
frame of the photo. Great collapse. I can imagine this was a frustrating scene
to get just right long enough for photographs, especially the column of 2x2
rounds (or was this where you used the paperclip?).
