Well, I decided recently to do a series of lineart for each of the seven deadly sins :D I already did Lust, which Maiko will color.
The next sin I'm drawing will be Envy, but I don't know how to draw him/ her. D: I need suggestions on what to do. I haven't come up with anything so far. =__=;

Oh, she's thinking of Envy from FMA
Who, although he doesn't look like it, is male

EDIT: Beat you to it by 12 seconds, redpanda :P
EDIT 2: You beat me to the edit by 22 seconds XP

"it's him"
only if this is full metal alchemist we're talking about, which xiang didn't mention.

you might be interested that caravaggio once painted the seven acts of mercy all in one painting here. They're sort of a counterpart to the seven sins, I think.

no no nooo DX
I'm not ripping from FMA, nor did I decide to start this because of them. I didn't take the idea from that show, but from Pope Gregory I, who originated the concept. I had to do a project for World History on the Seven Deadly Sins. It's not like FMA were the first to use them ever ever. -__-; I got insipered by being forced to do a project on them for school.
A sin cannot be male nor female, but in human form, which I choose to draw them as, they will be either ( but I haven't decided yet for Envy).
P.S.: I know it's a guy in the anime, btw. :3

Let me do one plz :D
Edit: this is a collab right?
  icon
xiang (Apr 9, 2006)
It can be a collab, but I just need somebody to color it; I don't color well. D: That's why most of my gallery contains collaborations.
Sure, you can do a sin! Which one do you want to do? :3

Isn't gluttony one of those sins?

I would enjoy drawing a large gluttonus mass gorging himself/herself on whatever is laying around.

xiang (edited Apr 10, 2006)

here's the list of who's drawing which sin so far:

Lust- xiang (finished)
Gluttony- Nightmare
Greed- sephiroth54321
Sloth- (not taken)
Wrath- (not taken)

Wrath right here!!
Edit: Oh dear god, the nudity. I don't think my parents would be happy if they caught me drawing on that... But, I will try!

xiang (edited Apr 10, 2006)
my sister walked into the room when I drew Lust @__@;
EDIT: they don't have to be naked!

sephiroth54321 (Apr 10, 2006)
What is "sloth" never heard of that one before...
  icon
xiang (Apr 10, 2006)
Laziness, making others to work harder and make up for it. :3

sephiroth54321 (Apr 10, 2006)
Lewl, that has me written all over it xD

I don't know what it was that you painted for lust, but I think the story of David and Bathsheba depicted in a painting would be the ultimate for lust. That story is just way too sexy to be in the Bible, even. I have often thought of painting it, but I'm waiting until I'm good enough. :)

sephiroth54321 (Apr 10, 2006)
Your good enough! paint it, i'd like to see what it looks like >:D

fleeting_memory (Apr 10, 2006)
well if you were still looking for ideas for envy you could do him/her clothed in green with small disc-like mirrors attached like sequins-each mirror holding a picture or reflection of something people envy-money-cars-love-houses-etc. You could have them with an orb-like ball that they are either looking into with envy or are showing the viewer smugly trying to get you to envy whatever picture is portayed in the globe
