I'm also grimly amused that for once there's a crux manip featuring Xena, Warrior Princess in which she's not the one naked on the cross.
For those who've never been there, Arcimboldo's site is worth a look.

That's the direct link to his crux pics, but if your tastes in cruelty vary more widely there's lots more for you there. He's described the site as a kind internet Flying Dutchman--he hasn't been able to access it or update it in almost two years, but it keeps sailing on without anyone at the helm.
(Addendum, 3/7/06. Yeah, I know that link no longer works, for Arcimboldo's site has joined the missing mass of the universe. If he is ever able to resurrect it, I will update the link.)

This link still works but I can't find the stories http://www.crucified-women.org/arcimboldo/index.html
Helmut, it's way the heck past time to correct an omission on this thread.
You're one of that first group of crux artists I encountered when I got into this kink, coming up on four years ago.
For a long time I considered your work too stiff, too plastic for my tastes. Over time it's grown on me. It's pioneering Poser crux art, the Giotto to Jedakk's Michelangelo.
I've attached a recent render of yours, in which the the setting and the victim's posture appeal directly to my personal perversions.
The luckless ladies in the older pic bear a strong resemblance to characters in one of my non-crux, guiltless pleasures, an American television show called "The Gilmore Girls."
Thanks, Helmut. Lots.
(Update, 5/15/07. the Gilmore Girls' last show was tonight. Rory got a job as a journalist following the campaign of Barack Obama. In February, 2009, she and her mother Lorelai will be arrested by Blackwater Security, transported to an undisclosed location, and crucified. Helmut, your prescience is an example for us all.).
(Update 7/3/09. Helmut came up with another Gilmore Girls render, wherein he and I personally witness their crucifixions. Mind you, I never thirsted for their deaths, but I really, really wanted to see them both naked. ;-)
I want to see this woman crucify more.NV/Quoom.
Quoom's back in the crux racket, and words have scant power to express how glad I am. These are from a series that's kicking off on his site
http://www.quoom.com
that are inspired by the drawings of Noble Vulchur.
Anybody following this thread knows that I'm into realism. Accordingly, I have died and gone to Heaven. ;-)
Enjoy.
