I love this girl!

Understandable. She’s a babe.

But what strikes me most is the stark, frenzied contrast between von Mack's 19th century conception of what crucifixion was like and Damian's.

Once more, nobody really knows exactly how the Romans nailed human bodies to crosses. But beyond the unclean turn on I get from Damian’s, I believe his is a much more accurate reconstruction. It gets both a and a .

I agree with every word of your analysis. No Question Damian's is closer to the reality than the pristine nature of the painting (Though she is nailed and shows a surprising amount of blood).

Sometimes, however, its the power of suggestion and what's left unsaid or concealed which drives our imagination to the highest enjoyment. In this case, for me, its the old version.

Understood. Not shared, mind you, otherwise I wouldn’t have started this thread.

And I love the thread.

So do I.

Sabina whipped on the cross is a sequence from Jedakk's "The Serpent’s Eye," which he posted a few years ago here:

Also included is Steve Cordero’s intense take on the same scene. Both treatments rate , and .

Lots.

 

[Apostate]

The first is one of Jedakk's Sabina 2.0 renders from the mid-2000’s, followed by five test renders of Sabina 3.0, which was the basis of the the character in "The Serpent's Eye.

She was Montecrusto's Easter present over on DeviantArt. As I told him earlier today, pretty naked young women screaming their lungs out while nailed to low crosses is one of my favorite themes.

I could do without the ears, but I shouldn’t be petty.

Three more by NV, one by Markus, and the last by an artist whose name slips my mind. His subjects may be unlovely but his gritty realism is unmatched.

The last looks like an Atrox, but it is one I have not seen before.

That’s it, Atrox! Gracias beaucoup!

Jimsac has been posting his Humiliated Queen drawings over on Foundation.

Whoa.

 

[Apostate]

This lady I’ve seen before, but until Phlebas posted her on Foundation I never realized she was supposed to be a long fantasized version of Xena Warrior Princess crucified nude.

Well, almost nude

Oh, there are other Naked Xenas about, but not ones that fit on this thread.

GeorgeL's latest render is squarely in WHOA!!! territory. I could do without the sawblade between her thighs, but I’m more squeamish than any crux perv has any business being.

 

[mp5stab]

That sawblade is brilliant, though. Notice how her feet aren’t nailed? It’s basically up to her to avoid that blade through the duration of ger torture by holding herself to the cross.

And her strength will sooner or later fail. Probably sooner.

Too bad. She’d last a lot longer with her feet nailed.

There are times I think Marius Zebo's renders are a tad too affected and plastic, with an unrealistic balletic vibe. These two reflect all that, and I don’t care.
