A new St Eulalia story.

Go to CruxDreams.com
I think the retelling was quite well done, and the accompanying images are superb. Additionally, you captured the imagination of our own Eulalia, which suggests some level of approval. :clapping:
 
Thank you for your support : we need it! "Eulalia's Story" if the result of several weeks of work and not always an easy one. Some scenes were so heavy that I managed to crash "Daz Studio" several times and even my computer once.

Here are the missing pictures of "Eulalia meeting crucified Lydia". An adult Eulalia, of course...

Eulalia is a "Genesis 3 model", hair by Biscuits, dress and roman uniforms by Deacon.
 
Thanks SeD
I suppose I can just describe what has happened here,
Eulalia has just witnessed the crucifixion of her beloved Guardian and mentor Lydia, seeing her waiting by Lydia's cross one of the soldiers asked her if she was a Christian, she immediately denied any knowledge of Christianity or Lydia and ran away.
That night she had a dream in which she met Lydia walking towards the city, while she was running away, Eulalia asked her where she was going, she replied "I am going to bear witness to our faith at Daciano's tribunal and suffer martyrdom in your place"
Next morning Eulalia woke up full of guilt and remorse and and committed herself to never deny her faith again.

I could rewrite the story with the help of SeD, with even more dramatic images and improved storyline. Some versions of her legend, say that after torture and violation, bound to an X cross, she was taken down and crucified again nailed to a T cross.

The shadows and lighting are so realistic. The flesh tones are also masterfully done. Speaking from an ignorant "Daz Studio" point of view, are whip marks and blood hard to do with this program?
 
I am no DS specialist, mind you, but it should be possible to devise some kind of overlay or decal modifying the skin. I have such a material adding whipping marks to a "genesis 3" skin. For those who have the skill, postprocessing is probably better.

Regarding my pictures, the absence of blood is a choice. The reasons are complicated and linked to my personality. What interrest me in a (female) crucifixion is the opposition between the soft, life-giving, aesthetically pleasant female body and its quite opposite wooden device. Also, I'd see gladly the crucifixion as a metaphor of the feminine condition.

I share your interest. In my deep I rather feel excited by the very contrast between the soft feminine body and the rough wood . Please go on with your work: it is appreciable. Thanks

in the (finished work) is the craftsman - not quite sure exactly what you'd understand by bulla,
in classical times it was a dress ornament or badge, later a seal, but in any case
a work of skill and artistry, which is certainly true of SeD's images.

I was playing, not well, with the phrase.:oops: Since the main hand-down of the seal meaning to modern language of bulla was a Papal Bull, named for the official seal and representing the "final" word on a dispute, I meant something like The artist is the one who has the final word (on how the art will look).:oops: I was punching above my weight (again!:doh::doh:)

Not at all, I think that was a clever play on the double sense of 'seal' both as an artifact and as a mark of completion.
