Fortunately the detectives were there and the guilty party could suffer for her theft! Of course even as she hanged nailed to the cross she swore she was innocent!
Well, it took me about 5 1/2 hours of work to put it all together. A normal Tintin 'bande' is 62 pages with approximately 15 image frames per page. I have no doubt that the story of how two young chambermaids survive in servitude at Cruxton Abbey, under the strictures imposed by the eccentric and unpredictable Lord Wragg, leading up to the discovery of two crucifixions on the Cruxton lawn, potentially to cover-up what they discovered about the nefarious plots of Rastapopoulos, who may have kidnapped Barb and Eulalia before they could warn Tintin that he was smuggling drugs to Syldavia via Lord Wragg's dodgy Bordurian chuaffeur, and this could cause a scandal big enough to end the career of Bianca Castafiore (the Milanese nightingale) who was supposed to sing the Jewel Song from Faust at the upcoming Cruxton Arts Festival. Easily the most convoluted Tintin adventure yet, but it's a lot of drawing, so you know, not likely to happen any time soon.

"Hum, your crime was certainly great to deserve to be crucified to my Premium French Crucifixion Wood, Barb ! " says Messa tasting a good glass of Tree beverage ...Fortunately, the Tree beverage tent was nearby so people could ignore her pleadings and enjoy her just punishment!
The French have an odd way of expressing compassion … a few words of sympathy would have been appreciated!
..and do Messa and Judith mourn the crucified woman or make passionate love that night celebrating her crucifixion???
But…I was innocent! It was all @Eulalia ’s doing!!!Fortunately the detectives were there and the guilty party could suffer for her theft! Of course even as she hanged nailed to the cross she swore she was innocent!
Barb`s new all purpose excuse, "It`s all Eul`s fault."
Why should Barb have all the fun? Eul might feel she's being sidelined. Wouldn't want that now, would we?
This is a highly original interpretation of Cruxton, in which all the figures are derived from two-dimensional sources (i.e. drawn/coloured artwork) and the composition is set against the familiar background of Cruxton Abbey. The latter has probably required more work than the figures, in translating from a photograph to a flattened, two-dimensional form with increased colour saturation, consistent with the characters by Herge and others.
Thanks, Bob. Very kind words. I'll just note that I wasn't ultimately happy with some of the perspective placing of the figures, so I did a bit of a correction. I think it's better now. Nobody looks oversized. Anyway, that's now in the original post. These things are tricky at times. For anyone who downloaded the first version, you might want the new one - it's bigger and better. The old one no longer exists on my machine or anywhere really, so if you have it, it's now rare.
