Description
The second one from my Deadly Sins serie :]
"Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation"
Personally I think envy means much more than just a wish to have something
someone else has. To me, it means also ACTING AGAINST that person,
"revenging" in a way, trying to take the "object of our desire" away from
them, or backstabbing them in some way etc.
That is why myself I consider envy the "heaviest" sin of all seven.
symbolism:
- snake - as I mentioned, envy, to me, is connected with cunning and doing
something behind one's back :)
- poison ivy leaf in the frame (and the column)- maybe just a word play, but
I always connected ivy with destruction of some sort... Growing using a
different object as a "support"... Something like that ;]
- color green - i guess it needs no comment :P
Techy info:
During the last few weeks I have been going through a small "artistic
breakdown", noticing how many mistakes I make etc... So I decided to try to
work harder on my pieces from now on and develop my style... So here you go,
something more painty than before :] I hope you like it, cause I'm pretty
satisfied for now :]
Time spent: around 60 hours again, doing those leaves sucked, really!
Coming next: (probably) GLUTTONY (now this will be a challenge :D)

I don't know, I guess we are our own worst critics. I think this looks as good as all the others. I love all of them. I am dissatisfied at my own shortcuts though so I know where you're coming from. Superbly done! I enjoy the painted look. I also love the face on this one, very original!
