Artist's Statement

Hello everyone!
So after 2 months of silence, I am giving you <b>Lust</b>

This is the third one of the serie, first ones are <b>Vanity and Envy</b>

<b>"Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body."</b>

The theme:
As you can see, from my Lust sketch I have only kept the pose, but totally changed the face.
I think that this one fits the topic better.
<b>I see Lust as being concentrated on yourself, being "drowned in your own world" kind of way, rather than seducting and being "flirty"</b>(and this look was used in the sketch)
Ok, nevermind :P

About the symbolism:
The color - I am aware of the fact, that according to some sources Lust is connected with blue. To me though, blue just doesn't do it - It's too "cold", and therefore I picked(surprise) red - connection with the color of flame, warmth. <i>No I am not connecting lust with love :P</i>

The frame - uses the flame pattern... my thought-connections were: flame ->burning desire -> lust

The waterfall - something rapid, unpredictable, not controlable :]

The picture took me a long LONG time to finish, mainly because I have done 2 other versions which I was not satisfied with.
Done in Painter7 and Photoshop CS in an uncoutable number of hours XD

Hope you like it!

<b>DISCLAIMER</b>: As I am currently working on another project, I will take a break from the Seven Deadly Sins Serie, BUT <b>I DEFINITELY AM planning on finishing it</b>. The next one, coming probably in a few months will be <b>SLOTH</b> :)

PS. <b>Just in case you're interested, I am now submitting Lust as a printout:)</b>
