Thank you Pooper and everyone who commented/complimented on the image. I rendered a few more of this scenario showing the iron brank like device being forced into her mouth as well as her arms being pulled up cruelly and boundI'll try and post those as well.
Your composition is excellent - girl on tiptoe + torture devices in background. Any more would be appreciated greatly

Somewhere, indeed sometime in the distant past of medieval Europe two peasant wenches were accused of the practice of witchcraft. They had been seized by the local authorities from their homes late one night and taken to the place (torture chamber) for their questioning to learn the truth.
So that they might have fully realized the gravity and severity of their situation, they were first stripped, bound, and given just an initial "taste" of the torture that awaited them in the coming days and weeks. Before their ordeal was over, first they would beg and plead for the slightest mercy, and later for the release of death.
Being devout men of faith and loyal servants of the church, the torturers the girls had been delivered to were neither capable of compassion nor mercy in their assigned duties and the quest to rid the land of evil. Revealing the truth by any and all means and methods available to them, which were varied and vast, were certainly nothing new to them. Sure there were the old tried and centuries proven methods of strappado/squassation and the water torture, the red hot irons and the rack, the cats paw and the spiked chair, ... but the torturers were in no hurry. They were quite willing to try new methods/techniques/... limited only by their imagination. The extraordinarily extreme breast garrot binding and suspension with added weights chained to the accused witches ankles, practiced with great success in the nearby provinces, was yet to be tried as a form of torment as were many others.
However, on their first night the accused were not subjected to these methods nor were they asked questions or expected to deliver a confession. After all they had not even been told why they had been brought to such a place of despair, anguish and horrific pain. The questions would come soon enough as would their inevitable confessions of guilt of any and all charges made against them. Soon enough their implications of fellow villagers participating in the acts of witchcraft and sorcery would assure the dungeons and torture chambers were never idle for any length of time for many, many years

Nothing! It's great as is! Your composition, poses, and lighting evoke the perfect Medieval mood. Have you ever done any Medieval Rack renders?

This is my Rack, Sir. It was a test made for me by an artist named Bert Nielson, for a rack story that I wrote. I like the fact that it's here, although I wish the poster contacted me first, as I have a more complete version...oh, yes, and that is me on that Rack...give or take thirty pounds.
