Good find... Jedakk post a picture when the woman faints when she is lifted but this is good with a cornu...The melancholy ending of Quoom's "Fall of the Barbarian Queen."

At the time he was working on the series I told Quoom that I had "issues" with that honkin' huge iron cornu. In reality it would puncture her colon (for starters), and massive internal bleeding would bring the proceedings to a quick and premature close.
Then I remembered "this is fantasy, careless product of wild imagination." Personally I dislike cornus, but the reverse is true for many other crux addicts. This series is for them.
I remember that series well. I used to know Quoom online before he called himself Quoom, and the series was titled "Ornaments of Triumph" to illustrate a story of the same name. I have attached the story in case anyone is interested in reading it.
Back around 2001, HP, as we called him then, wanted to post his series on the Crux group, but it far exceeded the limits we had for picture storage, plus it would have blown out everyone's email inboxes too. Back then the limit on my Yahoo account was 6 MB. And there are 333 pictures in the series. Which I have, by the way.
Back then, file sharing sites were kind of new. I had used them for moving big files for work, so I set up a site and shared it with HP, he uploaded everything, and we shared a link with the Crux group so everyone could download the series. All very high-tech back then, commonplace today.
Great image!One of Fnhsr's moving, damn near lyrical images. "It was during the night that the merciful sleep of death finally enfolded her."
Just posted this preliminary render from Jedakk's "The Serpent's Eye" on another thread. He never showed the lovely, lunatic Sabina dead on her cross, but this one could certainly serve as such.
One of many studies I did exploring crucifixion poses. This one was intended to be a "fainted on the cross" pose but could just as well be dead.
So I thought, Jedakk.
If you ever do a dead-on-the-cross Sabina render, I'm unsure if you should depict her as dead for an hour or so, or after a day or two of corpse discoloration and being a lunch buffet for crows.
I'd vote for the former but hey, I'm the guy who's squeamish about cornus.
Possibly another with the first flames of the pyre beginning to lick her body. That's about all I think I'd want to do for those illustrations.
Yes, if an animal's lying sick or injured, crows certainly don't wait till it's dead, a crucified human would be a crow-party!
Really likelyThey used that in The Passion of the Christ, where one of the thieves was attacked by a crow, vulture or something which tried to peck his eye. One of the Roman guards chased it away.
