Have spent the afternoon testing the crucifixion character set from Rendo. While Mark's set from ShareCG is probably the best Golgotha environment, the character in this set is the best I've seen so far. I do generally create my own, but I've had many email requests regarding how to go about putting together a character, and for those people, this would provide a way to affordably do it.
In addition to the set that I've tested, there are two others on Rendo now, The Stable for Poser, and the Nativity set for DAZ Studio, at the links below.

Good Afternoon. Sky a wonderful theme and set of links.
I pulled the trigger today on all the work done on the Emotifolks. Rather than try to set everything up on another site since the powers that be rejected the idea, I am putting it out there to see what kind of download it gets. Have a great day all!
btw notice the new signature

Thanks Sky. It was fun and the muse is directing me back to drawing and rendering. Even found another playtoy that seems to work on this computer. Blender ... another learning process and I will master it

Hi everyone 
Thanks Charles....that's Mark Fowler's set that he made for me for a crucifixion pose project a couple of years ago...I think it was spring of 2016, before I took a break at the end of summer of the same year. He created the Last Supper set for me around the same time. He also made some great instruments that I requested....a guitar and violin, and he also did a cello with chair, and mandolin. I created poses for the instruments, except the cello, which was done by someone else, here. My instrument poses were the following:
DUSK ACOUSTIC BAND
M4 VIOLIN
M4 ACOUSTIC GUITAR
STEVE GUITAR
...and the poses that go with Mark's crucifixion and Last Supper sets:
CRUCIFIXION SCENE POSE SET
CRUCIFIXION SET ADD-ON
APOLLO CRUCIFIXION
M4 LAST SUPPER
M4 LAST SUPPER WITH COMPLETE COLLECTION
APOLLO LAST SUPPER
DUSK LAST SUPPER
Whew...I think that's all of them....there are other music poses in my stuff, but I think this is all that was sized specifically to Mark's instruments.
I've been working for the past couple of days on poses for Raffael...this link includes all the add-ons if anyone is interested while the sale is on. Interesting character, and interesting way to create the wardrobe... two outfits does all, using a variety of mat poses.

I probably should have posted pictures with the links, to avoid confusion. Here's Mark's Last Supper set, followed by the crucifixion scene. I promised I'd always give him credit whenever mentioning the sets, so I'm being careful to honor that here So, this is to give credit to Mark Fowler, aka Hypnagogia
I chose to use the bended knee pose in the last image as according to research before I started the project, this was typical for this form of execution, as slack in the legs allowed for pushing up to breathe. Victims died from exhaustion, blood loss, and no longer being able to push up to catch a breath, or the Roman soldiers would rush it along by breaking their legs.

Realized I forgot all about the DAZ Studio poses for all of the above. I think everything can be found on this page. I keep the DAZ Studio 4 stuff separate from Poser stuff. Okay, I think I'm done now...haha

All the free stuff so far for the Raffael character can be found at this link...roughly 22 poses, some characters, and a couple of one click clothing options.
RAFFAEL FREEBIES
I'm working on dance poses, and perhaps some every day activity poses.

Well, here's the five pose dance set for Raffael. I chose this character because of the ease of use and I didn't have to wrestle with clothing...I needed something easy to get started.

Good morning Terre That's exactly what I liked about the character...normal build, and slightly shorter than M4. Also he works well for either toon or realistic renders. I expect there will be only a little interest in him for now, but I'm seeing other freebies for Raffael appearing, so perhaps there will be a little support, about like Nursoda characters. After working with him awhile, he has pretty good rigging. If there's a weak spot, it would be under the arms... an indentation can appear when raising the arms in extreme poses, so there has to be some compensation for that when posing, but then every figure has something like that....with M4 it has always been his "bubble" shoulders. Apparently the shoulder region is a challenge to rig.
Here's the next pose set, using Mark Fowler's guitar. I could do these poses fairly quickly by using the old scene files for other characters...saves a lot of time setting up scenes

Thanks Sky these are great. It reminds me of an old friend I ran into this week. I am having fun watching the ratio stay pretty steady on views/downloads and the comments. I was totally surprised that it is holding at 33 percent of the viewers have downloaded. I am glad the old characters got such a response. Have a good weekend all!
