As some artists may know, this is the month of inktober, a challenge I've never participated in before. It got me curious this time, and I had a few ideas swirling around in my head related to a role play concept I had been acting out with an acquaintance. Though I probably won't succeed in continuing the inktober challenge, I managed to make at least one digital ink sketch.
I had an urge to sketch out something Jusha (Jusha being the creepy villain species from the Life of Lewa universe) in digital ink as part of
the possible Inktober challenge for the word scary. Above are the basic
sketches of a Jusha flogging pole, one image with gray shading, one
without.
The main version is made to look like an old story book drawing or encyclopedia page (left).
I was inspired to draw this as a way to display an idea of what the current scene the role play was paused at looks like. Kazikii is about to be tormented by his evil father, in line for 45 lashes with shadow energy.
The flogging pole is made from two logs and a wood beam, held together using wood wedging and very large bolts. This T pole is then staked in the ground and secured with surrounding stones. The stones and two stairs are part of an outdoor patio like area set before Scarough's throne.
Surrounding the area are ceremonial torches made of iron which have a special oil that burns dimly, causing the atmosphere to be lit yet gloomy.
The pole has shackles for the ankles at the base of it, and above are three sets of shackles for holding the wrists. The ones directly above pull the arms upward to stretch them out into the I stance. The other ones on either side are commonly used to pull ones arms outward into the Y stance.
Both methods are cruel, and the chains are long enough to pull through the U loops wedged in the wood to stretch out ones limbs. The chains are then wrapped around and secured to one of the L hooks, four in total placed around the pole.
This nasty torture device has multiple uses which the villainous Jusha culture enjoy.
It's coin named the flog pole, or sometimes the T bar, and some refer to the use of it as T time.
