Really love pic 1. Pics 4 and 5 are fantastic....made even better by untamed fur. The menace of those pincers is palpable! The medieval version of bolt cutters
I love them all. I have not seen your work before, and these are really, really good. They are all inspiring, but #2 & 4 are my favorite as I do favor the strappado.
Thanks a lot for the compliment! I'll ask if the 'members' could take your suggestions into accountOh my, these are amazing, great captions and inventive scenes…
EG 6- very witty, and I agree, it seems a shame to leave the unused tools go to waste. May I take the pincers and heat them up before giving Amaya a taste?
I think the last one is my particular favourite because she’s so well marked. Seems a pity to drown her, we could water board her instead and then create more suffering for her tomorrow you know?
I think this dilemma is quite incredible and matches one of my personal fantasies very much! Superb series!
I do like that things are still progressing nicely, and that they haven’t really finished at all.
I love your work. The content is very much what I enjoy, and the quality of the way you put it all together is excellent. These images are a huge turn-on for me. I thank you for sharing, and hope to see more. Very, very good work.And from another series about the pleasures of owning a castle. Any one ownes a castle which I could borrow for some time?

Great post Dafnees. I'm particularly interested in #5 & 6. I do not have these pics, but I've seen that artist's work before. If you happen to have any more of them, please do post them. I would really appreciate it.

Sounds like a great tourist spot to me! I wonder if it will fit into my planned trip in May?There is an unsual German castle with an unusal history you might like very much (and you might really ask the owners there), because it was and still is situated in one of the deepest and isolatest German forests in the so-called "Dahner Felsenland" (= "Dahner rock country"). This "Felsenland" probably once was the ground of a sea which fell dry and its ground is today "red sandstone". This sandstone is at the same time stable but also a bit porous and relatively easy to be carved out for corridors or secret rooms.
On one of the most vertical rocks in this region (where I was born, by the way), this castle was built during the Middle Ages by one of the most dangerous German "Raubritter" (= "Robber Barron") of his time:

Instead, it had an "entrance chimney", carved out from the sandstone and you could get inside only by "knitters" or by a "foldable wooden staircase"! One single man could defend this castle for a long time against a whole army.
During the whole Middle Ages, this castle was never conquered and the "Robber Barron" made his money by abducting his enemies and traveling merchants, torturing them a bit in his torture chamber and extorting ransom for them. Although the German emperor of that time declared an "imperial ban" against this barron, which meant that every other knight could try to conquer this castle and kill this barron and his soldiers, this forest was simply too remote and this castle too difficult to be attacked. The possible success was not worth the effort for all the German knights and army commanders of those times.
Today, this castle is a popular destination for local school classes and some tourists who got lost in the Palatinate Forest (= "Pfälzerwald") and who want to have "a little German medieval horror", because the torture chamber is really impressive and the well in the center of the castle is a masterpiece of its own because it is 104 meters deep, which is always shown by the private owners of this castle for tourists by telling them: "Please be silent now because I let fall a little stone down this well and listen carefully how long it takes to hear the splash or the 'tock', when the echo from down there reaches our ears!" It is really astonishing long and there is a metal grid inside the well so that no one can fall into it.

Sorry for derailing this thread a bit now but my "local-provincial patriotism" was just awakened by your comment!Seems to be a party on the deck...
