Artist's Comments
I find so often that when people render in art the sins, which is a popular theme/subject, all too often people focus on the trapings of the sin- especially for Greed, where there are tons of gold and lots of jewels. For wrath there are whips and blood, for gluttony so much food, ect.
But people so often forget that the deadly sins are more than the actual acts themselves- they are often a subtle influence, slowly destructive and consuming. I focused here on the more internal devouring of the soul by greed, that vacant nothingness that is left when all you have is your obsession. It is sometimes the tiny amounts of gold and wealth that drive people to madness- one could kill for a single necklace if that was all one believed they desired. Reference image is an old David Yurman ad. For the 'seven deadly sins' contest: [link]  [link]   FIRST place for traditional in caybeach's! yay  On a personal note...I think this might be the best thing I've ever done.  Comments

 reports, 1d 4h 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.
