Some Sketches

Up!

 

[Andyman]

The midsummer noon. The Tiber looks like a shallow stream. Still the corpses of the criminals are being thrown down the Gemonian Stairs. And one of the aristocrats decided to crucify his young slave in the artificial valley created by the high banks of the river in the middle of the City. Shadowed by the banks and bridge she will die slowly even during these extraordinary hot days. And when the autumn will bring the rainfalls in the mountains, her half-rotted, half-mummified corpse will be swept away by the river's current.

Two thieves and a self-proclaimed queen, hailed by their fellow-countrymen and passing travellers.

The scourged and crowned Queen: "Ecce Femina!" - "Away with her! Crucify the Queen! Crucify this slut!"

Nailed by wrists - the agony has begun.

Waiting for the further caresses.

Great back story, setting and image. This will always be one of my favorites!

Finale Grande: nakedness and pain - le grande tour around the crucified woman, lifting her body up dancing and crying with pain or hanging helplessly, exhausted, from the cursed tree.

 

[Andyman]

Finale Grande - unbearable pain and unimaginable humiliation, however both unavoidable and impossible to be eased...

Ring around the Rosie?

 

[Andyman]

Finale Grande: The second day of the agony. The end is near.

 

[Andyman]

Finale Grande: It's done. Thirty three hours of horrible agony as a reward for thirty three years of her previous life, paid to the last breath, the last painful spasm and the last drop of blood. The opened mouth and the opened labia, no longer defended against the flocks of flies and the spectator's eyes. Now she will rest in peace... if the hell could offer any peace to the damned soul, unable to reach heaven after being hanged on the shameful cursed tree...

 

[Andyman]

The "Finale Grande" series was lacking images of nailing itself. Let's supplement it...

 

[Andyman]

Prelude to the "Finale Grande": freshly scourged - the first blood. Extremely sadistically whipped by the skilled floggers she has her skin torn, cut and bleeding, including her crotch. Every inch of her naked body burns and aches. And it is just a prelude to the real suffering, prepared for the poor woman.

I think I've made some progress in subtracting non-uniform backgrounds from images. Here is the "Blushing Brunette" doublet, in original form and after processing.

 

[Hangnail]

Here is the series that Andyman just showed us, placed in narrative order. I've called it "behold the queen". For the images with grey backgrounds I've used my current semi-clever algorithm to whiten even non-uniform backgrounds without losing too much (I hope) of the foreground color.

Last two. No Pietà for this girl.

Once again thinking about ancient methods of crucifying criminals I was impressed with the simplicity and effectiveness of the most Roman inventions, this time the additional support for the buttocks, sloped to allow sitting but equipped with a peg to prevent slipping down. If the peg was really the relatively short and not very thick piece of rod, it wouldn't cause much wounds and allowed defecation, so the victim could be living for days. In case of the longer pole it will penetrate and perforate (if sharpened) or tear apart (if blunt) the intestines, causing bleeding and defecation to the inside of the abdominal cavity, thus intoxicating the organism and causing painful but quicker death. If the pole was thicker, it would stretch and then lacerate the anal opening with the same effect. The last piece of the set was a sloped support for feet, making their nailing with relatively straightened legs easier.

 

[Andyman]

However the peg or pole should be long enough to be kept inside victim's anus even when she lifted her body up.
