Some Sketches

[Andyman]

The words of mockery and scorn can be hard as stones.
But the real stones can be added to the words as well...

 

[Andyman]

And, finally, few single victims, suffering on their crosses anything from starvation to nailing to impalation.

 

[Martha Come]

Beautiful as always....

Maybe some day... But I must warn you that I wouldn't draw a sexually emancipated woman (an erotic dancer or similar) nor a regularly sexually abused slave, who would be both not very offended with the public nakedness and rape, and who could even enjoy it, but rather some humble and innocent peasant woman, because for such a woman being stripped naked as well as being raped in public would be worse then the death itself.

Go Andy!!!

 

[Ducans]

Indeed go on Andy! In my sketches there is never the movement that are in yours. Much character too!

All the Rome is being put under her [nailed] feet.
(this time movement is not necessary to be shown )

Impressive, Andy! The one colour more is a enrichment.

 

[Eulalia]

A very effective composition Andy, I do like the way you've sketched in the city, just suggesting buildings -
I imagine I've been crucified before dawn, the mists from the marshes and smoke from fires the slaves are lighting
in the grand houses half-hides the yawning, waking-up city, but the sun's already rising, beginning to burn
through the mist, soon I shall feel it baking my naked, torn body....

A very powerful scetch! To see Rome and die!

From the previous series, I like this one, very good group crucifixion:

Nice. I have always been intrigued by the practice of crucifying victims with their arms wrapped over and behind the crossbeam ... much like the girl on the CruxForums masthead.

Actually, so have I. With ropes or nails?

I would think it would be easier on the arms. As they say in the pharma commercials, "Ask your doctor if it's right for you."

Test it, Windar! After short time pressed the weight arteries and venes up. Very uncomfortable after a few minutes.

In reality, I've tested that : of course that it was quickly very uncomfortable and that I couldn't keep this position !

Me too, Messa. I know the pain feeling.

Agreed, it would be very uncomfortable. I imagine it is easier with ropes, too, the stresses are different and nails may not work so well. Old paintings of The Crucifixion often show Christ nailed in the conventional way and the thieves tied with arms over the back of the patibulum. It's less attractive to my eye, less striking, less "heroic".

As with so much else it depends how it is done. And what is coming! This girl has more to worry about than how uncomfortable her arms are.

Question - in a female crucifixion does this method make the breasts stand out more?
If so I am all in favour.

Maybe Messaline could tell you...
