Great thread Emily, thanks. Lots of variety turning up - here are some of my favourite mp5stab's -

She is pretty good...
There are so many brilliant 3d artists these days, and we are lucky to have several here. I've posted too much in this thread already, so I really am going to stick to 5 this time as so many others have given great examples. 5 mostly recent works.
This is my avatar, of course, before I modified it. Artist Ken, from years ago, he did wonderful shapely ladies on crosses.
Part of a very confronting series by Finality3D, looking from different angles this set was beautifully rendered.
Skating Jesus, enough said
That combination of beauty and pain, hard to beat
Jeddak's Sabina has to be here, so many thoughtful and powerful images. Here we see the victim suspended entirely from her nailed wrists, her slight body easily lifted by strong men, her tormentor momentarily shocked by the brutality of what she has done. Feet desperately looking for purchase. Past the point of no return.

I think I hadn¡t some of this pictures. I love Marcus and his Six Girls! Do you have the complete story, dear Barb?

Hard to pick just five, but here goes:
Before he was Quoom, H-P created the Ornaments of Triumph series. Because of Yahoo's limitations he had to put it on a download site and post a link to the Yahoo Crux group so we could get it. This particular picture struck me as very powerful back then, the first one I'd seen that illustrated the moment when the condemned's feet left the ground for the last time:
Damian was and is an amazing artist, able to composite pieces of pictures seamlessly to make something entirely new and different. In 2005, he and I collaborated on his Roman Crucifictions book. He sent me pictures, and I wrote stories about what I saw. This one already had tituli for the three girls with Greek inscriptions that I figured out was the Greek word for "witch." So they became "The Three Witches" and I wrote a story with that title which is now here in our archives.
Makar was and I suppose always will be one of the greatest artists with a camera in the crux genre. He was one of the few who realized that a naked woman on a cross wasn't limited to a static pose like a golden crucifix. His models moved and explored the boundaries of their limited range of motion on the cross, in the process teaching the rest of us - certainly me - how a woman's body would twist, writhe and strain on a cross. One of his most memorable models and one who has appeared in innumerable photo manipulations is Alice.
Then there was Yusseby, whose quirky cartoon drawings illustrated what we knew about ancient crucifixion practices and sometimes just caught a common scene such as this one, a pair of rebels crucified by the road, an example and lesson to all who passed by and spared them a glance as they suffered.
Skating Jesus does the best job today of painting gritty realism into his art and incorporating depth-of-field camera techniques in digital rendering.
And finally, my favorite artist is me, because I create what I imagine and want to see, the way I want to see it. One of my most dramatic scenes, in my opinion, is the stripping of Sabina's loincloth just before she is crucified.
Obviously I can't count because that is six, not five.

One of Welsh Webb's works. Here you go:
That's it! Thanks Jedakk. That one has inspired so many highly imaginative thoughts in my warped little mind!

It´s an old picture of mine. You are right it shows a couple which have to pay the Price for her love in case of adultery. it real leans on the relationship between my Girl friend and me. Other pencil drawings followed.

Graf von Kreuzigung
I cannot remember when I saw it for the first time, but I always have found it a strong drawing, that stirred fantasy , about why the couple got crucified (although I never thought of adultry).
Actually that drawing of a crucified couple was the source of inspiration for the story 'Alpenglühen', I posted in another thread :

MP (may I call you MP?) this thread of yours is a stroke of genius.
It has triggered members to bring up so many images, some I had almost forgotten and some I had never seen.
And triggered me into a trawl through my archives, to rediscover wonderful work I have not revisited for far too long.
Also, intriguingly, when some image I thought might fit in here and then find someone else has had the same idea.
One of my favourite Yusebby's, full of clues about how it could actually have been done
And Acimboldo, the helpless road to horror
Tied down for nailing

And Andyman's unidealised image of it
Damian's slavegirl who thought to poison her owner, begging for a merciful sword thrust that is mockingly denied

So many wonderful artists' works have graced the threads of CruxForums and other sites over the years! I hope before we are through here that all will have been mentioned. I know we are not through yet. Then perhaps, the thread could move on to address in a more general way the reasons why these forms of art excite us so!

That's sent me on a nostalgia fest, Eul... yes, Helmut's work was brilliant.
Here's a few that I remember I loved in the old days:
Aedilis (I think)
Ninja Mike (I actually wished I was on one of those adjoining crosses...)
Alain (the desolate farmhouse and the desperate girl.)
Jedakk again, the look of helpless terror in the girl's face!
Cobra (Inge Tarant), an early favourite.And, for something completely different, Sondra Locke in a very old Hustler shoot:
