Hey Brendan,

Great installments as always. My (belated) comments:

Samuel is born - I like Elkanah’s customizedite hairpiece quite a lot. In the second pic I’m a little creeped out by the two smallest kids, though - with all that tan around them they look like disembodied heads to me. That head-as-body trick works well for a wrapped-up baby, but not so well for bigger kids, IMO. I like the temple of Yahweh a lot - was there a reason why you used older white bricks? The way you did the legs in the 3-year-old bull is a nice idea.

Corrupt priests - Good head choices for Eli’s sons. Those little mustaches always looked kinda sleazy to me. In the second pic it kind of looks as if the priest is naked while picking out his meat. The wrap made of the cape and rubber band is neat, though, when you can finally see it.

Messenger boy of doom - I agree, those temple furnishings are really nice. How is Samuel’s wrap held on, btw? It’s a nice effect to have God get more and more obvious with each time he called.

Philistines capture the Ark - How did the priests get the ark out of the temple? It looks too wide for the door. I like the perspective on “So the Philistines fought” a lot, also a nice pose for the broken neck of Eli.
