Artist's Comments
..Or if you prefer: Pride - Mother of all sins.
First one of the, duh, Seven Deadly Sins serie. "Vanity is an excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise." symbolism? It's all pretty obvious but I will explain some stuff which inspired me, to sound cool, mind you.  - As you can read up, vanity is linked with the color violet, so here you go the color theme. - Peacocks remind me of vanity as well, therefore I have used a peacock feather as an inspiration for the "frame". - You can see the background being desertish (plus the dead tree)... Vain people usually never see any beauty in the world, but only in themselves... That is why everything around them, sooner or later, dies - and that is what I have tried to depicture. techy info: lady's props based on my (pencil) sketch based on a couple o' refs, refs for textures. you can see some art nouveau inspirations in the frame - my tribute to A. Mucha, as he is my idol  Generally it is my most thought-through and time consuming piece and I need to say I am satisfied with it Around 60 hours or so, as some parts were hell to finish, seriously :/ Anyway, I hope you like it, comments, critiques, favs welcome!  Coming next (someday): Envy :] Update 19.01.2005: ENVY CAN BE SEEN HERE: [link] :] PS. No I am not really religious, I just found the Seven Deadly Sins a really inspiring subject.  PS2. THIS DEV WILL BE AVAILABLE AS PRINTOUT AS SOON AS ADMINS ACCEPT IT  |

 reports, 1d 15h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
