Envy

The Seven Deadly Sins -- Envy

Fweee! It is DONE!

I planned this one out in my sketchbook, so I won’t forget anything. But I did; the frozen water puddle and the scales. Damn. Oh well

Time taken: Let’s say, over 15 hours on and off.

Oh, this image was originally HUGE. Take a look at Envy's Details

I spent ages on this one; I painted the mane and tail FROM BLOODY SCRATCH. SHYAH. No brushes, no bleeding tablet, just me and meh mouse. And I painted the horse. And the eye. Oh heck, all of the horse. And the vines and twigs on the hooves, mane and tail were painted too by hand, I mean mouse. Oh and I painted that sea monster thing. Hmm… a lot of symbolism went into this (well, maybe not that much, but I couldn’t find enough when I went researching. But envy is closely linked with this sea demon whose name escapes me. And the thorny vines symbolise that envy is a desire that slowly chokes you, creeping up from your surroundings and forever attached; using others like a parasite. The snake represents the devil.
