Lovely piece, phlebas! Looks like you might have used an art/filter on the cruxgirl to integrate her better into the style of the painting, with great success.
Thank you Monty, yes indeed there is a filter as you will see with most of my "manipped into a painting" pictures.
A fine modification and dramatic image from an established master crux manipulator! Is this one of Alex Bald's models?
Beneath the subtly applied 'artistic' filter, already noted by Monty, I think she resembles the one named 'CRY' in Alex's sessions?
Very nice work, Phlebas!
Thanks Bob yes it is Cry she has a lovely figure and fits the setting well, with the addition of a crown of thorns.
Apologies but the next set are all male crux. I played around with a figure from Dream Boy Bondage in different settings, and tried some additional embellishments for fun.
The first is again in the style of an old devotional painting, I think it came out quite well, but then I had some fun assuming that he'd been on the cross for some time. Spot the subtle difference.
We've had stories about modern judicial crucifixion before. Very public very degrading, I wonder if the onlookers are charged for the privilege of getting so close? You'll notice that this particular criminal has the added punishment of a weight hanging from his balls. That and the public humiliation seems to have aroused him, in fact . . . . . . . yes, there he goes.
Harsh military punishment, perhaps a POW who has been crucified as an example to the others. He doesn't seem to be enjoying himself, though the lady soldiers are keen to get a good look. Again, the ball weight for added spice.
Now we go back to the Pax Romana. Nothing like a nice day out to watch the latest wretched condemned criminal suffering on his cross, especially if he is kept lively by the occasional poke in the balls with a spear. The female crowd enjoys seeing these young men who can't hide or control their erections in public.
This one uses a background and crowd by the talented and amazing PhilX. The victim and his situation by me.
I seem to be doing this at the moment, multiple variations on a single figure or setting.
