It certainly causes a gross distortion of the otherwise attractive elements of female anatomy and, as already noted, Markus' draughtsmanship is highly accomplished. I sometimes wonder how it is that I can happily depict nails driven through wrists and feet with blood streaming, but cringe at the idea of genital and breast injuries. Perhaps such treatment of the extremities is acceptable in terms of the art historical tradition?
Having said that, I did hang and garrote one or two girls in paintings, so I guess necks are fair game...
I do have the same personal limit at what is attractive to me.
Sometimes i wonder about that.........
It's probably similar to the phenomenon where some persons slow down when they drive near the scene of a violent car accident to those that do not and prefer not see such a gruesome scene.
(I'm part of the second category
Love the crux scenes ... I have never understood, though, what the attraction is to wrapping ropes or cords around breasts and pulling them tight like that?
I'm not personally squeamish about real blood or injuries, and I have been around dead people before.
Wouldn't you know, there is actually a medical term for that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SymphorophiliaA car crash site is not going to turn me on
do you like your tits tortured before your crucifixion?It's not so much "titty torture" that bothers me ... that goes with the territory here ... the lash, needles, hot irons, electric shock and so on are pretty standard torture techniques, but when extreme mutilation and disfigurement are involved, I find it totally uninteresting.
I must say she looks rather relaxed, like this is one of those new-fangled spa treatments...Found this on VK, don't know anything else about the picture or model...
It looks like something from one of those Philippines Christian groups that stages crucifixions for the devoted religous folk from time to time. As I understand it, they get a number of female "volunteers".Found this on VK, don't know anything else about the picture or model...

Who can say?who failed to read the small print?
I would expect them to be. In stories of female Christian martyrs,do you like your tits tortured before your crucifixion?
By coincidence I've just contributed to a similar discussion on another, new, thread about portrayal of dead bodies -I'm not personally squeamish about real blood or injuries, and I have been around dead people before. I'm the guy they always get to do the fiddly first aid stuff at home, for example, when someone has cut their arm off slicing turnips and needs a tourniquet and a couple of aspirin. That said, I don't generally find it erotically appealing either. A car crash site is not going to turn me on. A crucified woman probably will (depending on the scenario), but I think that's because it's safely (for me) in the realm of fantasy. The flogging/whipping and some torture is also in that realm. Once we get into hot needles, breast/genital mutilations, or even tying breasts to the point where blood circulation seems impaired, it stops being exciting to me.
I agree that Markus is one of the best there is with hand drawn pictures - a real sketch artist! The quality of his work does overcome my lack of enthusiasm for some of the things he depicts.
it strikes me that the 'optimum' time for portraying us girls on crosses is in the first few minutes, when we're still very much conscious and relatively fit, writhing and struggling to cope with the pain and shock and adapt to the terrible position we're in, physically and psychologically. At that stage we're still 'human', and probably displaying ourselves to best advantage
That last one is called 'The Beautiful Struggle.'
Mistaken identity...something must have distracted the guy with the tape just at the critical momentView attachment 486865
A very nice Eul and Barb stretching scene,
though I'm surprised whose mouth has been taped
