Looked into the 'cutting room's floor', that's all I had saved. Green background is for quick selection of transparency.

Why thank you so very much. I’m beginning to wonder if I should have a stab at this rendering business, see if I can build up something. I wonder if that new lap top has enough power to try…

I’ll check the forums, I’m sure there’s an advice thread for humble beginners such as I.

But thanks again for this, really appreciate you looking- very kind
 
Mmm, it’s being locked in one of those slave hoes in the second image that has my kink brain in overdrive. I imagine being locked in one, forced to hear the screaming and sounds of whips, burning flesh, etc, my only sustenance whatever foul liquid trickles through the veil, awaiting my fate…. Hot hot hot!!!
 
Omicron day, no work. So back to the slave market in Dulla, jewel of Ofir.

Slave buyers are reluctant on buying white slaves as they are feeble workers so the last attempt is made to sell all of the three white sorceresses at one bargain price. Finally, the local baker agreed to pay the meager amount. He just lost a couple of well-muscled wheel-turning Nubians to the plague and now he's short a few slaves to keep the mill running. "At least if they die spinning the wheel, I didn't pay a fortune".

-"Have them branded, rechained and sent to the mill", he added. "And throw the blind one in the deal as well, I doubt anyone will want anything to do with her".

After being sold for a pittance, the slaves are taken to the new owner residence and place of work. Going through the gates of the estate, they could make an odd contraption in a distance, heavy beams with chains dangling in the wind.

A well equipped dungeon should have such starvation gibbets with a slave or two chained within… it is good therapy for us!

Something has always bothered me a little about the wall chains and hanging cages with skeletons in them. I can see that happening outdoors, but in a dungeon or torture chamber ? I know that those places wouldn't smell very nice on a good day, but I seriously question how anyone would be able to work that close to a rotting corpse for weeks or months on end. Point is I'm skeptical that that ever happened (indoors) except maybe in cells that no one would ever get close to. A bit of Hollywood decoration for effect perhaps ?

Of course. Same with the good looking young women tortured nude in dungeons. It doesn't stop us from depicting them, does it? :D

I think you may be right about the gibbet irons, they were for outdoor display. But our ancestors were surely less fussy than we are about smells, there were certainly lots of pungent aromas around in castles, and not only in the dungeons. Spending time living as a 'local', not a tourist, in a 'less developed' part of the world soon taught me to get used to smells!

Pits like John Doe shows in this image were standard - and can still be seen quite often - in the dungeons of Scottish castles, the stench from those, even when the wretches in them were still alive, must have been foul, but probably just part of everyday life.

I was reading not long ago how the strong perfumes used by the French aristocracy in the days of Louis XIV were intended not with some aestetic purpose but as a convenient way to hide the stench of the wearer. Bathing was still uncommon those days as clean water was hard to come by.

If the nobles were having those issues, one can only imagine what the common folk were putting up with.
