I love and envy red heads. Not only are they beautiful but there is a personality that cums with being a red head. We have the cutest little fire crotch pixie in our group and she loves to be the center of attention.

I do like redheads...... and blondes, brunettes, Asian, African, Hispanic, Indian, older, younger, thicker, thinner, and others. But not necessarily in that order.

What if Frodo had failed?
For those of you who are desperate for my story to continue, I was working on this instead. Happy Valentines.

Great picture but from Tree's younger days when he did woodwork he doesn't approve of the foot rests. First of all, the women don't deserve them. Secondly, the woman on the right is about to shit on hers... a big mess there! Third, using appropriate spikes the rest would split... just an observation.

Oh, you haven't even seen the extent of the high quality woodwork that went into these crosses.
Tree is sure it was worth crucifying the women!Oh, you haven't even seen the extent of the high quality woodwork that went into these crosses.
Big spikes driven into wood does that...

So, for the lore reasons, in this image, the footrests are cut from ancient trees, as the once great forest of Lothlorien has provided ample lumber for this execution.
As for the "reality" of the cross: It's softwood that was sun dried for several days, mostly 3x6 pieces, by with no structural pieces less than two inches in thickness. It's based off of a CAD setup that I made myself, with no nails required for the joiners, to produce the best results. The CAD file was taken into blender and roughed up a little, and given a procedural texure that allows me to not use the same cross shape twice; even with the same design, the crosses have different nail holes, wood chipping, and grain texture. Where the end grain is showing on the pieces I took care not to include the pith, and cut just slightly off-center, to get the most out of the thicker, denser grain at the center of the wood. The boards that make of the top of the footrest and the titilus can crack with no consequence to the structure of the cross. The majority of the wood of the footrest is contained within the support below the plank that their feet are nailed to; the plank serves primarily as a crude washer of sorts between the feet and the rest of the wood. Since the footrest is joined without nails, the stipes is much more durable to repeated crucifixions.
Given the nail thickness and the expected load, I'm within tolerances.

Well, since we are talking about it, here's a look at the joinery between the stipes, patibulum, and cap of the cross.
Assembled
Cap off
Just the stipes
It's a dovetail at the bottom, but a square tenon at the top so that pieces can be slid down it. Jeddak's idea. The cap is my own elaboration. It holds the patibulum in place, and prevents it from sliding back up. Unlike with a cross-lap joint, with a dovetail, the patibulum can't be pulled forward, and the stipes can't be pulled backwards, and so no additional fixation via spikes or screws is needed. The ropes are just there to keep the whole assembly nice and tight.
even though this was made as t cross, I also made a shapekey in blender with a shorter dovetailed tenon for the tau cross appreciators.

Tree can't argue with your science... Do you mind if I manip it for a later story (You'll be credited for the art)?

Knock yourself out. If you need, like, a specific thing from the scene I could isolate it. Render without backgrounds, or titiluses (titilae?)
What, and reduce my manip skills???
We're seing a great mix of expressions here - I particularly like the painful tension of Eowyn.
The poses and viewpoint are dramatic, and the hair is lifting gently in the breeze.
Even the nails are glinting with sunlight on a bright and beautiful day. Nice work, Em.
P.S. Are the bloodstains added in Photoshop?

The bloodstains were added to the diffuse texture map, mostly as a mix layer set to hard light. They were dried bloodstains, so I didn’t feel the need to add lower roughness or normal maps for them. I don’t do any post work if I can help it: It’s not easily redone from a different angle.
Well, she is the human, and a warrior. we might expect the elves to be more stoic, and after all they are likely to be up there for a longer time.
We would also expect hair detailing in Emily's work.
I did wonder if elves were, um, different in more ways than just ears. Maybe the ladies on the left would like to part their knees a little more widely so I can make a proper examination of their quims?

Tribunus Plebis
From the Crucifixio Romana Manuale (published circa 100 BC):
"When driving the spike into less than the densest wood, or when it's necessary to drive with the grain, always predrill the holes using a step bit to allow for the spike shaft to find the predrilled hole after penetrating and clearing the body part of the crucified."
I was surprised Tree didn't know this from his vast experience.
Tree certainly knows this. That is why he saves himself the work and just nails their feet directly to the stipe...
But this is Mp5's thread. Please do not spend time here arguing nailing methods when we have such fine work to view!
