Ah, it's been a long while, hasn't it I have a new cast for my right wrist which allows me to paint, so here is the next from the Sins
GLUTTONY is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Why didn't I draw anything disgusting? Well, I wanted to prove myself I can keep to the original "idea" of a glutton, WHILE making the character aesthetic, pretty and (in her way) attractive. I wanted to prove the modern "pretty=thin to the bone" standard wrong.
Some symbolic explanations:
Abundance of textiles - I treat this sin not only as eating and drinking, but consuming in it's wider meaning, such as buying and gathering useless things etc
Grapes - "luxury" goods, connected with lavish parties (in ancient times) etc
The pink colour theme - reminds me of grapes, sweets etc
I hope you like this one, as it was definitely the hardest one to balance and get "right".
WONDEFFUL job... you got everything you said in your desc. spot on... great effect and I agree about the ""pretty=thin to the bone" standard" being wrong She is quite attractive... beautiful paint job as usual, and it's great to see some new work from yu.. Hope the wrist gets better soon!
You struck a perfect balance, this is by far the best one of the sins you have done because of how it is beautiful yet protrays something most people perceiev as ugly .

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
