@Mortarion86, I agree that we have much better models available than 5 or 10 years ago, and that makes things so rewarding: I personally may not get better in my artistic skills, but my pictures are nevertheless improving. It's magic!

Here are 2 more follow-up pictures to my last ones:

What I wanted to do in the third one is to take up @erminioenel's feedback about having mixed feelings. A fascinating idea. Can I depict the suffering on the cross in a way that works as pornography but at the same time also makes me feel empathy with the victim? It worked for me.

. We don't hear from you for a long time, no comment, and then boom.. You come back, two pictures and 100 likes. I applaud. And a hell of a job well done. I am interested in one thing. Is that blood a template for iray decals? Or do you use a different process? You really don't know... Thanks for the answer.

Sorry, but I was busy conquering the galaxy, and my cat went through a difficult divorce. Also, there were these birds nesting in my computer.

About the technicalities: I'll pm you.

I feel for the woman's suffering and yet at the same time it excites me. It also inspires me to draw! Thanks!!!

Wonderful artwork! Parsing empathy with my sadism is one of my favorite things about crucifixion! It’s a beautiful tension between those emotions, my heart breaking for her suffering and humiliation while gluing my eyes to her to watch her writhe.

In that way, camera angle has a lot to do with how I view an image. I think I feel the most balance between empathy and sexual excitement in the close up from the side, looking down her arm. I think this one I feel the most tension in her body, how much her muscles must be contracting uncontrollably, yanking on the nail further despite her mental desperation to be still. The way she’s crying upward and how close we are to her face lets us really study how taut her neck is, screaming nonstop and desperate for air. We’re just about at her eye level to see into her soul, while back just enough to leer at her breast and to see her bleeding wrist in the foreground. While we study her beauty and experience her spectrum of emotions, there’s the ever present evidence of her hellish torture on the periphery, always a reminder. We’re close, but not too close to take her suffering out of context of the fetish of the scene.

I also love shots from behind the victim. Her naked curves are undeniable in silhouette around the straight lines of the cross, our minds and imaginations can fill in the sight of her breasts and vulva and diaphragm spasming full of breath and crying from there. We can see the tension across her back and in her legs straining for comfort that will never come, maybe a few drops of blood dripping from the wood. And especially, we get to see what she is seeing. The last scenes her eyes will ever see, be they a jeering crowd or the lonely endless sky. We get to experience her point of view, which she would naturally feel her own nakedness and exposure. To be in her mind feeling that visual rape and endless torture, I think, is an even more special kind of pornographic than to be consuming her as someone standing before her.

There's the P word again... I prefer to consider it for what it really is: a startingly realistic depiction of what might have actually occurred, expertly RENDERED by a superlatively talented, IMAGINATIVE artist, seeking, as all art does, an emotional response.
And empathy? Look up Gustave Gilbert. That none of us would have participated in such an event and would have actively undertaken to prevent it, however "titillating" the idea of female crux may be.
All of which underpins my appreciation of your incredible FANTASTICAL illustrations Jucundus! :clapping:

How do you feel about AI and do you plan to explore the technology in your art?
 

...Through the unbearable pain, she pressed her feet harder against the pillar to get some much-needed foot support. Of course, her nailed feet were in terrible pain - the huge nails were doing their job. On trembling legs she straightened up sticking out her belly and smoothly shaved pubes toward the audience, but it was the only way she could take breathe in. From the outside, this action looked like a vulgar demonstration of the perineum, her spread legs and hairless vulva made it possible to examine the genital organ in detail. She wasn't thinking about shame, she wasn't thinking about how shameless she looked at the moment, she wanted to breathe....
