Nailvember Day 8: Let Me Help
@malins (feel free to consider this a birthday present)
Thanks, this is one of my favorite elements in a crux fantasy.
The dungeon is quite dark though and it's hard to make out the nail being passed between them (or the rather wicked looking hammer...)
... so I've tried to brighten it up a bit (maybe it's just my screen settings)

I'm guessing this is how the procedure went ... a bit unconventionally since there are no ropes to help...

... I think it would be hard for me to just get on the cross, with no ropes, and hold myself up there with no fixation. I'd probably slip off, especially
when he starts nailing my right wrist. Try as I might there is no way I'll remain perfectly still.

So -- first he told me to stand upright on the floor on the right side beside the cross, and he ordered me to place my right hand above my head, against the beam.
Then he passed me the nail, ordered me to kiss the nail-head, and return it to him.
Then he pounded it in.
With that done, he helped me get up on the cross that's resting diagonally against that stone slab. (That hurt a lot)
With one wrist fixed and one foot on the footrest there's enough to hold me in place.
Then he hands me the spike for the feet, same procedure - kiss it as a a sign of my acceptance of my fate, and pass it back.
He pounds it through my feet, right over left.
And then the kiss-and-pass-back is repeated for the last nail, that goes through my left wrist. And then it's done, I'm nailed to my cross.

There doesn't seem to be any kind of socket or hole in the ground for that cross to be lowered into,
so the next step is probably attaching chains or ropes to it and pulling it up to a vertical position and holding it there by those chains.
Since this is happening in a dungeon it's perfectly plausible that there might be some kind of winch mechanism for suspending it from the ceiling.

And then... I'm up ... and the suffering truly begins...
 
I like it a lot! but I have a small point of criticism.
The scene would be better if you would sink the stones on the sand a bit lower.
Bury them half into the sand.. making them more a unity with that sand.

Good lighting good barbed wire use, excellent nailplacing with the barbed wire preventing ripping of the hands..
Think this is certainly ranked in my personal top 10 of your works...

I'm afraid I can't do that. That environment is a single pre-made piece. I can't alter separate parts of it.
 
You could maybe use an extra ground plane with a sandy texture to make it happen?

Not that important just brainstorming :D
 
Nailvember Day 11: Captured/Barbed Wire @mp5stab @Eulalia
Finished rendering before midnight but I got sidetracked.
I love that - thanks Ignika - the warm tones blend beautifully, with just that hint of poppy red,
and maybe of an abandoned trench, too, the scattered rocks could be pieces of shrapnel,
it speaks to me of how war crucifies the innocent.
 
So efficient they could use the left over Iron to construct a watertap behind her :)
Good! the women will be thirsty sooon :D

Great pic :D
 
Another late one.
Nailvember Day 14: Decepticon
She did everything she could think of to pass as a man. Cut her hair. Wrapped her chest. Even practiced to deepen her voice. All to serve in the Imperial Army. It was successful, for a time, but one fateful morning her fellow soldiers found out. Now she hangs, nailed to a cross as punishment, staring in shock at the iron spike they nailed through her sex.
