[#65] Deadly Sin

Posted May 22, 2023, 4:44:38 PM UTC

65 Draw or write about your character as one of the seven deadly sins.

Finley is envious. He shouldn't be, he should be happy with who he is and what he's achieved. But he always feels... inferior. Not quite good enough - not as good as everyone else. Not as warm as Lilith. Not as responsible s Myreson. Not as sneaky as Linnea. Not as smart as Plum. Not as charismatic as Suave.

He adores his friends, he would do anything for them - really! But he wants to be as good as them. Better than them. And it eats away at him that he can never have everything.

----------

Touching upon my boy's flaws is fun! c: Decided to make him a more personified envy, instead of acting envious. The water figures around him are silouhettes of his friends, and of course I had to give him the glowing gren eyes! Envy is a difficult one to personify, but I hope I did a decent job!

Goshdangit Finley you just won the OCL, you already da best. D8<
Really love how you have the green glow going up through the water, really gives the idea of the envious emotion filtering into his powers.

Oh I love the entire everything...
The green really makes it feel eerie as all hell

I still can't get over how you do the water (And also really dig that even with such minimal shapes it still is clear who is who out of the group)

Bby no, don't be envious of them
