The use of the wheel for torture.


Two quick sketches on the Inquisition.

  1. I love (the idea of) punishment wheels.

    Bondage that keeps you constantly disoriented. Continuing motion that sustains varying discomfort.

    A male slave who has been disobedient or merely inefficient has been bound to huge wheel. Two other male slaves have been assigned to keep him spinning.The poor slave will spin and roll for a long, long time. Before his punishment concludes a Mistress will give him a whipping while still bound to the punishment wheel.

  2. Due to the depicted young, muscular men in their shorts, the first drawing gives the impression of a somewhat rustic sporting event, or of farm boys 👨‍🌾, who have come up with a new game. The three guys are extremely sexy to look at, and it would have been interesting to see, how things would go on with them 🙂. The second picture is completely different. With its general haziness, the blurred contours, and the strange looking hooded figures, it creates an extremely threatening atmosphere 😱. The four men involved in this scene appear very busy, and they obviously have a goal that has to be reached quickly ⌛. They look like a well-rehearsed team that knows what it is doing. What exactly the four will do there, however, is unclear to me 🤔, as I have previously been completely unfamiliar with such large wooden wheels as a method of torture or execution. I will have to find out more about that.

    1. These drawings are kind of poorly finished, almost quick sketches. After all these years I don't even understand why I made the boys in shorts...in fact, it doesn't make much sense, it's kind of pathetic. You're absolutely right.
