Pictures Of Dead Crucified Bodies

Go to CruxDreams.com
Hmmm. I'll go off topic and post them.

1. Sanitized for your protection.

2. Unsanitized.

3. Men at work.

4. Get real.

On another tangent, I also ran into the "enable cookies" notice. I'll try to reason it out.

I do remember these.
 
There's an open invitation for anyone to tell me TO SHUT THE F-WORD UP,WILLYA????
Not at all! I appreciate seeing these. I do the same thing Tree does - find appropriate images to patch into new contexts for manips. I suspect Tree liked the Soldier carrying/rescuing the girl. It's a fine image. I have spent some time browsing through the dusty old hallways and bookshelves of old threads. However, what one notices is that the "Great Crash" caused a lot of things to disappear, with some threads being mere skeletons of their former artistic glories. What this means is that those of us who came to the Forums or to DeviantArt, and so forth somewhat later in the game, have missed out on ever seeing some of the older pics.

In other words, do keep posting. Phlebas is doing the same thing on his "Great Pictures" thread, and another "From My Archives" thread. All very useful, especially for those of us who don't necessarily keep every picture, but remember them fondly.
 
I see.

Then I'll post one more off-topic pic. Yusebby's take on Julia of Carthage. Somewhat grittier than either Von Max or Damian.

And one more on-topic. Another 19th century sanitized version of what a dead lady on a cross looks like.

Well, at least she's naked. Not bad looking either.

Ah. Forgot about these. Some screencaps.

In HBO'S Rome a character rides through a slave encampment and past a row of crucified slaves. One of which is female and dead.

And in Starz's Spartacus another female is crucified and dies. Both are not naked.

You will note that the shows, both alike in copious nudity, elected to crucify everybody clothed. Maybe a nipple slip in Rome.

I am highly put out.

I wonder about that myself... perhaps trying to stay away from religious imagery?

The girl in the fourth pic, the one from the Spartacus series, is probably standing on something while trying to look dead. Her elbows are bent slightly and her legs look too straight and tensed. For the life of me I don't get why, with all of the nudity in this series, they showed almost all of the crucified clothed.

When I was blocked from the forum and deprived of my home computer, I googled variations of "naked crucified women" a lot on this tablet. You're probably not surprised that I found lots of people that conflate crucifixion with The Crucifixion, and are in deep, scandalized denial that The Lord hung on his cross naked, much less women.

Part of what keeps the crux addicts coming is that blashemy component. Which certainly has scared off cable movie networks.

With the onset on streaming video services, I wonder if a niche might be created for, oh, I dunno, a live action version of The Serpent's Eye. Or Fall of the Barbarian Queen?

That would be good.

My sister teaches art (history and painting) at a California university and she told me a lot of the paintings of Jesus crucified the loincloth was added later, often by a different painter using a different paint!!!
 
The pictures on this thread depicting beauty put to death have been so deliciously brutal I've been inspired to have a go myself.
Hope you it.

Nailed, I'm no artist so I don't critique technique. I can do content.

First, I'm about to start a thread called Obscene Display, showing the practice of nailing the condemned's feet and legs to spread their thighs wide, and adding to their already unspeakable degradation. Your efforts are precisely on target.

You will have to work on those techniques I decline to discuss, though. Perhaps the crux artists who hang here (so to speak) can give you tips or point you to tutorials.

I am going to use your pics on Obscene Display, though. Attached is a sample by Jastrow.

Hey, nailed - we always try to encourage new artists. I work mainly in the manips area, not rendering, so I have no idea what the difficulties associated with this would be, so you can take my comments as purely aesthetic and based in personal opinion. I think your model is very good. The amount of blood is perhaps a bit extreme (for my taste anyway), and the colour is a bit pinkish. Still, if this is your first outing, or close to your first, I think you're doing well. There are lots of people with varying tastes and turn-ons here, and you're almost bound to have your art appeal to someone. Keep going. :)

I think one problem is, on the one hand, policies that try to categorize porn into "safe/okay" and "over the line/not okay", and on the other hand, prevailing norms in society where images of nudity and sex may simply be considered slightly naughty erotica, BDSM is more naughty and potentially deviant, and anyone interested in naked crucifixion is clearly mentally deranged. Perhaps I'm overstating or exaggerating, but I don't think I am very far off the mark. As Bobinder has pointed out, anything like crux or rape fantasy is now illegal in the UK.

In that regard, while there might be a niche market for crux drama, even given that hint of blasphemy, I wonder how many production companies would jump at it, given the fact that they would basically lose the UK market, and any countries that follow that lead. People may not like a law like that, but once you have one, and have described it as a basic decency law, it's very hard for anyone to say they don't like that law, without themselves being immediately branded as a potentially dangerous social deviant, with possible job loss, censure, and other consequences coming from that. Few people would stick their neck out. We know that most of our members are not terrible dangerous people, but we also know the value of a safe space. I'm not looking to see a specialty crux channel on TV any time soon.

Possession of fantasy rape pornography is an offence in the UK and some other countries.

Whether or not a crux depiction breaks the law depends on subjective factors regarding extreme violence, life-threatening scenario, convincing realism and obscenity. If it scores sufficiently high in all areas, it might well be judged illegal. The best church altarpieces score high in all areas except obscenity (usually) and are therefore exempt.

The law is unspecific and open to interpretation, which is not a helpful state of affairs, unfortunately.

There are a surprising number of naked Christ's out there actually, from the Renaissance on. It doesn't wash in the average parish church, but it really shouldn't be such a big deal, and i believe that it is possible to be both respectful and accurate. This is one of my attempts, and Easter post from a couple of years ago which I am personally fond of, whatever it does for anyone else.

On the question of blasphemy, it's an interesting one. There would be more than a few members here walking that fine line.

I love Yupar's work ;)

This is very sad and more than a little scary, and I don't think our government here is any more enlightened. I hope the tide of censorship is not on the rise.

I do not walk a fine line... I stagger around near it!!!
 
I trust everyone realizes that none of these pictures are new, nor are any by me. I've been floating around crux circles since W.'s first term, posting other people's work along with my commentary. There's an open invitation for anyone to tell me TO SHUT THE F-WORD UP,WILLYA????
Absolutely not. It is an interesting niche topic.

Although I think it depends on the viewer's interpretation whether some of the victims are represented as really dead, or just exhausted, fainted or (trying to) sleep. Anyway, they look like they are already up for a while and not 'freshly nailed'. Their world is getting smaller and smaller. They are barely still able to communicate. which is something of the agony that should have its right place here.

Jesus dies on the Cross by Joseph Maria Subirachs 1987.jpg

From the stations of the cross in the Sagrada Familia (Barcelona Cathedral) by Josep Maria Subirachs, 1987.
Gaudi's cathedral is somewhat larger than the average parish church, and yes, this crucifix is nude.
