From My Archive 1999 To ?

[phlebas]

Ok, I've talked about this for a while, I did a similar thing on the Foundation about 7 or 8 years ago, a thread of selections from my archive. Emily's thread of favourites has inspired me to finally bite the bullet, and I didn't want to fill her thread up with my selections. I'll try to post a lot of things that are not so well known.

So, here are a few selections from 1999-2000
You'll notice that files were smaller, and manips were more simple, in those days.
There is some Cruxlabs, Cruxmania, a Cobra, see what else you can identify.

Loving #9.

This one is from a film I have seen, although I can't remember the film title.

She should have read the small print before booking ...

It wasn't "Mary Poppins", was it?

Smart ass

 

[mmmnnn]

I wonder what Cruxlabs are doing nowadays. Are they still around, even?

I am going to enjoy this thread, Phlebas!

Each one of those is before my time, and new to me!

This one :

 

[Secret Keeper]

The last one looks like she was in a dungeon a while. Suferring before the execution is good.

This one :

That's it. Thanks Lox!

Loving #9.

Imagining a woman wanting to join her partner who is already suffering on the cross.

Well I'm glad that this thread seems to be working. I will post regularly, maybe not every day, 10 pics from the past, mostly ones less well known now and a few classics too. I may mix some male crux in as well, and I may also post some non crux. I'll keep going as long as people are interested, working through the early years of this century.

I've forgotten a lot, like who used to do the Cruxmania pics. He was one of Messa's countrymen, and also did historical torture type pics.

Ah, Taryn at number 9, of course, sadly lost on 9/11

That drawing at number 7 is highly competent!

I like #3 (a nicely harsh combination of crucifixion and ankle suspension) and #10 (nicely dark)



And here, the nuns want to take a selfie with their victim, but they have to study the manual first?

This March to death seems endless,
In shame and in disgrace
Alone, despairing, friendless
I see no friendly face.
This beam upon my shoulders
Reminds me, by its weight;
Of what they’ll do – these soldiers
Beyond that City gate.

Smart ass

It is practically perfect in every way.

Great set. I really like this one - so much of the anguish, humiliation and emotion of the situation there on her face. Excellent drawing!


"What does the Convent Guidebook say about this, Sister Mary-Catherine?"
"I don't know, Sister Agatha. Is it in the chapter on Physical Fitness? Maybe the one about punishment for not wearing proper Habit. This book really needs an index!"

Taryn will probably feature again here. I was privileged to know her.

#7 is Zerosen, I believe.

Now, Le Chat, male crux from Dark Lord, part of a story, 2 expressive pics from Norman dated 1998, #6 is perhaps an acquired taste, some Japanese crux, more Cruxmania, and one that Jolly appears in it seems.

I'm enjoying all these dusty parchments phlebas... it's like a sort of cruxforums Old Testament keep going!
