Description "Self control and self mastery prevent pleasure from killing the soul by suffocation. Legitimate pleasures are controlled in the same way an athlete's muscles are: for maximum efficiency without damage. Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control."

This is the first part of a series I am working on. Portraying the seven deadly sins with angels (sarcastic huh?

100% Photoshop 7 Unfortunately I had to crop it down but here are two close ups of the actual size I was working in:

I think all seven should be prints maybe even a combine of all 7 into a final seven deadly sins print. when I get the money, I'd by a print like that angels, and sins are a thing of mine. including the seven deadly. very acceptional work.

Many thanks
I am not sure when I have time to work on the other ones. I have different publishing projects I need to finish - but as soon as my workload lightens up I am going to work on the second one

Well, personally I love everything that have wings. So I think it's a good idea. I like the colours and the description of the work.

burnchild In reply to ??? [2004-09-10 19:37:08 +0000 UTC]

i love this piece! btw, when i look at the wing, hair, and hand at a 90 degree angle, they remind of a flower (with the fingers as filaments)... was that on purpose?

Kyena In reply to burnchild [2004-09-10 20:23:27 +0000 UTC]

hmmmm..no that is unintentional
a very cool coincidence though - thanks for pointing that out

I really like the orange throughout this, it brings such warmth into the picture. I've always loved this pose....there is something very jubilant about it. Very interesting, I look forward to seeing the rest of your series.

This is something else than the rest of your gallery, I really like this one. You said you can't do dynamic moves, you are so wrong. I think this is the best piece you have done in your gallery and would love to see the rest of the series too
