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)

Simply great! Her expression alone speaks for the title! Wonderfull drawing. Still I think You made bigger effort on finishing and detailing Vanity :) And I really hope You'll find a way to avoid ugliness in GLUTTONY :) as this looks like a MUST BE a set of Sinner Beauties! Good luck!

Envy truly is a lethal combo of lusting for what another has, and a kind of fury toward them for having what we want, mixed with a cruel need to take it and even more from them. Her expression is full of demonic cunning, and her hair is like the Devil's horns. Fascinating. And such awesome artistry.:o) CC

You are an excellent artist (my words are reduntant, as indicted by the other comments). Yjou have created a fantastic character and world. Wonderful expression. The fact that so many of us have snake-phobia and she holds the creature so easily adds to her power. The levels achieved through transparency and color set/blending adds to the depth and etherial quality that backs a striking image. I guess I liked it a lot...thanks.
