Wheel of Sinsby *Queen-Uriel

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

This is an entry I made for the "7 Deadly Sins" contest, by =FantasyStock
You had to use a piece of their stock, and mix with ALL the 7 sins in the same deviation! [link]

Here's what I did... I imagined a wheel... where all the sins would be there to "tempt" the person. I thought about the first images that came to my mind when I thought of each sin.
I'll explain one by one, starting from right to left:

LUST - (fornication, perversion): Lust is usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. - Sex is what comes to mind at first, so I added this image of a naked woman... the naked neck and shoulders...

ENVY - (jealousy, malice): Envy desires something that someone else has which they perceive themselves as lacking. - What I thought first was this amulet of a hand making a "figa". Most people say that having this little amulet can keep the envy away.

VANITY - (pride, narcissism): It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self. - When I thought of Vanity, I thought of a peacock feather... it is somehow related to beauty to me...

GLUTTONY - (waste, overindulgence): Marked by unreasonable or unnecessary excess of consumption. - the first thing I think about Glutony is food... and sweets in most of the part. So I used an image of Peanut Butter... creamy, sweet and irresistible! But you can see it any other sweet you like, like "milk sweet cream" as well.

SLOTH - (laziness, sadness, apathy): Represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. - Sloth reminds me of layness, that reminds me of cold days when you can stay in bed watching TV and doing absolutely nothing! That's why I used the socks feet, meaning that whoever is wearing it, it's obviously being lazy...

WRATH - (anger, hatred, prejudice, discrimination): Wrath may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. - When I thought of Wrath... I thought of something broken. I think a broken glass is something that describes well, cause unlike many things, you can't repair glass...

GREED - (treachery, covetousness): Greed is, like Lust and Gluttony, a sin of excess. However, Greed is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. - Greed imeddiately reminds me of greed of money. So I used money images, cause seems like many people do anything for money... such a shame. Greedy people.
