Carrying the Cross

Go to CruxDreams.com
An example of a cross walk.. After carrying her cross beam two miles through the hot, sweltering, summer night, with a tree branch inserted deeply into her pussy, Victoria is crucified. (As an addendum, I noticed years later that the stipes for this series was still erect when looking at an aerial photograph of a major central Florida expressway. You can see the stipes and its shadow in the center of the image.)

Appreciate the feedback. Attempt #2!
Great art, love it! Have you ever thought to do a story from condemnation, followed by whipping, carrying the cross, nailing the wrists, raping, and then nailing the feet and raising the cross? With your terrific artwork this would be the top artwork in this forum.

That is my end goal. Lots of work to do before I get there but very much want to be able to generate content for stories beginning to end.

I'm interested to see what techniques work and what just produce mid results. You've gone down a promising path so far
 
This attempt is far from perfect (personally think it's worse than #2, lots of artifacts and such) but learning lots about positioning, flow, detail, etc!
Look at the agony she is in! Even her escort has shed most of his clothes. It must be terribly hot but he has to get her to the site of her execution or he won't get paid. It is not easy being in charge of the condemned!!! :rolleyes:

That’s the ideal time to start moving the two versions together in photoshop and then using ai to patch the seams!

This is shaping up into a really great work. Just needs some whipmarks now
 
Get it where you want it, I’ll take it into photoshop and do my thing. I’m gonna add a few extra details I think will really fill the canvas out. Don’t worry about learning photoshop, the learning curve isn’t too bad of you have a process and a project to work on.

These get more and more interesting, I know you can see imperfections, but you are really showing us what is possible with AI here, if I didn't know better I'd be asking you what book you found this illustration in!

Like Emily says, many of the imperfections can be fixed with light photomanipulation.

If he's had enough, I'll happily swap places with him . . . . .
 
My suggestion is to enlarge the men with the whip in both the last pics (with 20-40%) and put them closer to the woman with the crossbeam.
Yes, while I love the pictures, and am in no position to advise on the processes involved in producing them, it does seem to me the man with the whip isn't quite right. He doesn't seem to me to be looking at his target, rather at the vegetation on the slope beside her. And, allowing for the perspective, he does seem a bit small. Also, he seems to be stubbing his right toes on a small rock - painful!
 
What's her name, your dark-haired crux girl?
She is me!

But really, I imagine her being named Alexandria and of Greek descent. She's heard of all the atrocities the romans inflicted during the Macedonian wars and has gotten herself into trouble more than once with the local authorities trying to exact her perceived vengeance. This time she's gone one step too far and found herself captive... or so the day dream goes.

Great back story! :)
