"The King Shall Return."

This is one of my all-time favourite crux pictures. There is a story without words here. Two lovers crucified together, with one resting her head gently on the breast of the other. The other girl has just realised that their time on the cross is just about to get a lot worse.

This is another favourite as it shows the calm before things get really nasty. The young woman is looking at the nails and skewers which are about to become a painful part of her. Is there a heckling crowd she is trying hard to ignore? Have the crucifixion crew gone for a lunch break or are they just fetching their hammers? We don't know as her world has closed in to herself and the cross.
What is she thinking? Is she regretting the poor life choices she made to get into this situation, or planning a swift kick into the groin of the executioner?

Here is another version with a background.It's always interesting when people mentally fill in an image with a white background.
That sort of cobbled stone thing the cross is sitting in does suggest some kind of town square or so.
It's actually a permanent mount for a cross that's put up in a very lonely place. She's been abandoned a while in a rather desolate place to contemplate her fate.
I decided to drop the original background though because it got visually cluttered.
There's a backstory to the original drawing, which however got abandoned by the author, and so I decided to liberate the drawing out of that context. There were definitely no breast-skewers in the original story
So here she is for reference in her solitude. All in all I do think 'Less is more' here. I got bored with the background

A triumphant return! So glad to see new art from you!
And there is so much to love here; a ritual sacrifice, two beautiful women, nails through the heels splaying her out, nailed nice and wide ( @Apostate ), and the hair, a lovely updo for one, and gorgeous waist-length locks for the other. And the new style, somewhere between photomanip and painting, it’s pretty slick.

So instead of one of those spiky sedile contraptions, when she sinks down what she'll brush up against is the petals of the same breed of rose that decorates her hair, nailed to the post, and the ropes securing her ankles wrapped around that... I don't think I've seen that before...

Now some people do llike crux but aren't into the "breasts pierced with barbed skewers" thing so for those folks here's an unskewered version
Now how cleanly the victim could be unskewered in real life, really depends on whether you push the thing through all the way, or pull it backwards the way it went in.

Yeah what with her legs all splayed out like that a big honking cornu seems like the obvious thing.
On a whim I went with delicate flower instead.
As with most of my pics I don't have a full backstory but the suggestion is of course it's some kind of ritualistic thing rather than a judicial punishment. I guess that will work for you

The version without the skewer through her breasts also appeals to the more squeamish crux pervs.

The second image caught my attention, Algabal. This is an extremely cruel but efficient way to crucify someone. The arms over the top of the patibulum, the hands and ankles nailed together, and the awkward angle of the legs, causing cramping. Yes, this condemned woman is really going to suffer.

Not just that, but based on the position of that titilus, she must piss on her own name.

I can see she first suffered harsh whipping
Certainly an exquisitely cruel way of crucifying, and the tension as she's being raised up is palpable.
One tiny quibble - if her right wrist is nailed through the ankle the same way as her left one is, surely it should be visible?
(Note the position of the right heel, and the point of the nail projecting through the stipes - it's a good bit lower than her left foot, quite a stretch for her right arm - maybe that's nailed separately higher up? I try to imagine myself into that position and it's not easy to work out where my invisible right arm should be!)

Good eye! I figured it was hanging loose, and they still have one more nail to use on her, or it’s nailed to the stipes higher than the other wrist.
That invisible right arm had never registered on me until this very moment, and I ain’t proud of that.

Love this one even better! Could be part of a storybook, for adults of course
