I love that first one.I first became aware of Drahreg back in '06 at Renderotica, and as far as I know these immensely intense images are the only two he ever did. He's also no longer on Renderotica, nor anywhere else Google's search algorithms can find.
If anybody knows his current online whereabouts I'd be obliged if they could share, because he's goddam good.
It is going to take a lot of condemned women to fill it...View attachment 776268
I love that first one.
This might come as a left-field suggestion, and I could be completely off the mark because I know very little of the history of 3D artists. By pure coincidence, earlier today I was browsing through the work of Amun/Andruxon. I noticed a peculiarity that I don't think I've seen in any other renders. He does it a fair amount, but it is particularly noticeable here

I am referring to that strange twisting line down the abdomens of the two hanging women.He does it in the first of your two images, Apostate. Also, there are some similarities in the skin tones of the image I have posted and your second one. Thirdly (and definitely most weakly), the facial expression and breast size in image two match what Amun tends to do. (Drahreg is Gerhard backwards, if this has any relevance at all!) I know that there are numerous members here infinitely better qualified to evaluate what I have suggested, so I just throw this idea out there. If I am talking utter nonsense, so be it!
I was going to post one of Amun's rare crux images anyway today, so I might as well add it here.

Well that’s the idea!It is going to take a lot of condemned women to fill it...View attachment 776268
I am drawn to images that emphasize the phallic symbolism of the cross. It’s an unyielding, untiring lover upon which victims writhe and exhaust themselves. The sexual symbolism adds to the whole point of the punishment: the punisher’s complete power over the victim.
I think it is best demonstrated when the victim (particularly a woman) faces the cross. Ladies so horribly unfortunate as to be crucified in this position are forced to embrace the cross like a lover. I’ve seen some claims (without any evidence) that women were crucified facing the cross to lessen the shame for them and/or their families. It seems patently ridiculous; I can’t imagine anything more shameful than my ass hanging out for the crowd while I dry-hump a wooden post.

And a couple more, from the History Channel. She’s clothed, but still has the cross between her legs.

I expect that’s what most crucifixions turned into after the first few minutes of the victim thrashing, screaming, and squirming. They would tire out pretty fast. They’ll live a good while (the human body is stubborn) hanging like that, so I imagine your typical roadside crucifixion featured the condemned hanging fairly still as they waited to die.
"It’s an unyielding, untiring lover upon which victims writhe and exhaust themselves"
So well put. That pretty much sums up the whole crux thing for me.
Nice pics too. Never realised how much I like the facing the cross position. She'd definitely be grinding away on that cross.
I once heard a certain preacher say (without any evidence) that women were crucified facing the cross because “men couldn’t bear seeing the face of a woman in that much pain.”
Yeah, no, Preacher Man. If women were indeed crucified that way, I don’t think that was the reason why.
Quite exposed from below! certainly not saving 'dignity' as has been suggested before. (why they'd be concerned about the dignity of someone theyre nailing to a lump of wood anyway?)
Tempting to apply some heat and or whip when she drops down for too long. Keep her working hard for the crowd.
I love this picture. The agony of the victim, her bleeding body, the exposed naked folds of her pussy ... So hotJedakk did that quite a bit in Serpent's Eye.
Stunning indeedI keep saying Red Feline/VermeerWorks videos hold no interest for me. And I still keep posting their stills here.
Why, he asked rhetorically? Because said stills are beautiful to look upon. And kinda hot as well.
Mmmmm ! Slanece made this pic for me and after a so long time of waiting (6 or 7 years !) that I dont want to be delivered : let me to this cross for the eternity ...This latest Slanece absolutely counts towards my aesthetic. As she struggles to breathe, her body leaned out, her hair disheveled from endless torture, the pain becomes overwhelming. Screams and the sounds of nails echo in the distance. Would they do that? Would they end her life so violently? She would be helpless to stop it.
