Seven Deadly Sins: ENVY (Fantasy) digital artwork by Marta Dahlig
 
Artist's Comment
Okay so here is the second of my Seven Deadly Sins series.

The theme:

"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

Time spent: around 60 hours again, doing those leaves sucked, really!


Coming next: (most probably) LUST :]~

I have had an opportunity to see all seven of this series and I love them all. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Like so many others have said, you have such talent. I love all the artwork you have submitted here. Well done.

Its cool how you describe the sin aspect represented. The folds are well done, and that background is so detailed. Incredible as always.

I love this as always, but something about her hair bothers me....I cant quite put my finger on it. But still a GREAT piece and I love the color choice. Hard to imagine it being anything but green
