Don't know if the above worked. If there is no image their, ignore it and go to http://home.windstream.net/themessiah. There are two parts (link to second part is at bottom of page).

Also, you can go see some pencilwork and see an overview of the method at www.temptthemessiah.blogspot.com

Is she pissing on those coals?!! Did women know how to do that standing up in biblical times? I thought the women in my town invented that when the queue for the women's toilets was too big and they had to use the urinals...?

The like the artwork, but I'm not sure the panel placement helps the flow of the story.

Also, there's a panel where I think the girl's standing on a stone and twisting her ankle. Took me a minute to figure out what's happening there.

Overall good work though.

That art is excellent. Really great work.


From some of the recreations I've seen, the temple looks like it's dead on accurate. Nice work.

OK, I am new at this www stuff. I do not understand how to upload an image. All may images are on my machine. Some sites allow you to upload from your C drive (or E drive) to their site. Some do not. I do not understand this URL business.

At a guess, I need an offsite place to upload my images. Then I somehow link to that??? If this is so, where are some places that I might post images to accomplish this? Deviantart seems to NOT be one of those sites (tried that site just now).

Please, talk to me like I am a dummy (on this subject). It will not insult me.

That is because the background there is actual photos of the model of the holy city from 2000 years ago. I apply filters to the photos in an effort to integrate the backgrounds with my characters. The characters are pencil drawn, scanned into computer and colored/painted with my art program. But the backgrounds are often photo based. The temple top and pinnacles are derived from models that I made out of wood and painted (the pinnacles are about three inches tall).

edit: and thanks for the information

I come to places like this to hear things like this. I have heard this before about that part. So, I added the light lines in there. I don't guess that helped.

Any ideas about how to fix that, preferrably a suggestion that does not involve a major overhaul/redraw - like, maybe a sound effect, or maybe making that panel much bigger so that you see whats going on better??? I don't know. :slap:

Sorry if this site does not allow double posting. I would have edited my last post and provided this info, but I cannot edit for some reason (maybe the moderator disabled that option - because I am an editing freak, sorry).

I thought that it was important to say that I have already addressed that problem mentioned about - that part with the devil tripping over the stone. I added some text that had the word "fall" in it....this way, you can better understand what is happening, hopefully.

Again, sorry for the double post....but I did not want someone to spend time on an issue that I have already addressed. I do not want to waste someone else's time.

HEY, THIS GUY STOLED MY DANCE MOVES!!! :banana:
