By far my favorite piece of the class. The assignment was to illustrate the seven deadly sins using color to represent each sin. I chose Nintendo's Kirby as my representing icon and adapted him to each sin, but I also used hands on the inside of the circle and silhouettes on the outside to help emphasize each sin. The color's came pretty naturally, most everyone in class used green for envy, red for wrath and pink for lust. Most used a blue or grey for sloth and a royal purple for pride. Trivia fact: Purple is the color of a dye extracted from a mollusk found on the shores of the city of Tyre in ancient Phoenicia that in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple was also called imperial purple. I chose a sickly brown/yellow for gluttony to give it a jaundiced unhealthy look and orange for avarice, which i wont lie, was mostly due to the Green Lantern Corp comic which did the same. I had a blast sketching and coloring this piece. It is all done with micron pen for the outlines and prisma color pencil for the colors.
