Ok so here it is, second from the series of Seven Deadly Sins.

VANITY can be seen here: [link] :]

The theme:

Second of the Seven 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: (most probably) LUST :]~
PS.this deviation will also be a print!

^ All of this. While I wouldn't really act against someone or hurt them whenever I see someone that can draw extremely well I feel so jelly, especially if they put up something that looks amazing then say, "Lol yea, I was just sketching. Kinda embarassed its really, really crappy."
Anyway, LEGENDARY art you got thar.

Sometimes, I have to admit, that I'm a victim of envy (just like I'm envious now of you drawing a beautiful pic such as this.) Another artwork model of yours that looks like she belongs on a magazine cover...Though, I'm not much of a color green fan (except when it comes to money, of course), I just love the whole serene greenish background...Nice dress, weird but cool-for-fashion hairdo and the snake...that snake just drive me CRAZY!!!...So ENVIOUS of your hands right now 'cause they can draw crazy good art such as this and if I have to be jealously obsessed just to like this depiction of envy, then GOD, please forgive me. Anyhow good artwork...More than good...INCREDIBLE!!!
