new crux idea for someone to do

[bobinder]

and this model, I don't know her name

Sometimes called, 'Kata' or 'Katarina', I believe.

I’m not a huge fan of facing-the-cross, but Noble Vulchur's variations on the theme are, like all his stuff, absurdly hot.

Thanks, yeas, she looks like Russian. Now I can name her folder in my collection

Pics like these, with face to the Cross are rarity. I've got a few of them in my collection - Makar's Oxana, Mila, and this model, I don't know her name

Rare but they are out there, there was even a documentary a while back that featured a front on female crucifixion, I've got a screenshot somewhere

Thank you, very interesting.

Just in case: the female crux is at 18:20.

Also found Makar's Christina's photos.. beautiful session I think.

From the Department of Morbid Curiosity. When a woman crucified in this fashion faints or dies, is her head more likely to slump forward or backwards?

I rather think the latter.

Crux_fan--I'm convinced that if there is a new method to crucify a condemned prisoner, it has probably already been done. (LOL!) Here are 2 renderings that I did a while back that may be close to what you had in mind. "Rearcrux" is from 2007 while "Treehugger" was done in 2011. I think it was basically the same image, I just rotated the camera angle and added a different background. And as an added bit of cruelty, I nailed her breasts, as well.

That was eexactly what I was referring to in this post! Nice drawings!!! Love the expressions on her face too. Very realistic!

Yes very beautiful but ropes take away from the whole crux idea. The Romans never used ropes lol. But that's still very nice pics

Crux_fan, I reckon Makar and Image Maker never used nails because they declined to kill their models. However, Cruxdreams has for over a decade been a rich vein of crux photomanipulation gold, as here in Damian’s adaptations from that same Christina shoot.

And no, I don’t know if anybody’s adapted her facing-the-cross photos.

Wonderful manips.

The body language in this one makes it a classic!

Nor Katalina...

Actually, it’s the famous "Duet for Shrieking Sopranos" from Verdi's opera "Il Crucificio," his most popular work, for which he was excommunicated in 1874.

Is that really true? For example after the Jewish revolt of 66-70 CE, it has been said that the Romans crucified in excess of 5000, would there have been enough suitably large nails to go round? It has also been said that the victims were crucified on trees, in many different poses, upside down or whatever. Might not rope have been used as it was to hand and the victim would eventually die in any case, maybe even rope would have been chosen to prolong the suffering?
