Description
Last but not least, say hello to Pride! It's been a fun project so far and I've really enjoyed myself with them. So, stay tuned for the rest of the story as well as the depictions of the seven virtues coming in due time.
Pride: I gave her a generally generous figure. Compared to some others it's pretty mild, nothing too exaggerated. Pride is described as the deadliest of the seven so you could say that "Pride is the leader". So I opted not to exaggerate her form but keep her balanced; she doesn't fall too far one way or the other. I spliced her with a peacock since a peacock is considered to have highly vain, proud connotations attached to it. Pride having the most direct relation with the Devil himself (being the sin Lucifer commited against The Almighty consequenting in his fall from grace and transformation into Satan) I wanted something serpentine in there; hence the tail.
Pride is also usually depicted alongside or holding a mirror, so I've made her skin reflect that notion.

Is she really the daughter of the Devil or just considers herself his kin because she's in charge of Pride?

They're all considered progeny of the Most Low, but Pride (obviously) takes her position as "Favored Daughter" very seriously. She is, after all, the leader.

I know I've commented on the girls before, but I just have to say... Pride is beautiful!

Pride is my favorite I believe, she's beautiful and confident looking (and likely just as dangerous). My second fave is either lust or sloth i think, (:

This is really impressive. I quite like the smug, slightly seductive expression on her face - sultry, but arrogant. I had a feeling there would be some peacock elements in this girl - it seems to be a popular trait for pride, probably because the bird itself is so outlandish. The mirrored quality you've given her skin is very fitting - aside from the obvious implications, it gives her a cool, almost untouchable appearance, like she's too far out of anyone's league for them to even consider making physical contact (since mirrors show the slightest smudge or fingerprint so easily). It may be my imagination, but there also seems to be a slight firmness to her curves, as if they've been pumped-up a bit - something that brings to mind the old phrase "puffed with pride".
Gorgeous work. I think this gal is tied with Sloth as my favorite of the series.

So, if I walked up to her, would I see myself in the reflection of her skin

Either that or it'd be so blinding you wouldn't see much of anything.

Tis most beautiful indeed the form of pride. Thankfully she is far from my sin of choice however if it were to take this form then it wouldn't be a stretch to fall to my Pride as well. Like Greed and Lust another fav from the moment I saw her. Also allow me to second that notion about the horsewomen of the apocalypse.

I'd be proud to have a girl like her around *shot in the face with an axe*

Yay peacock's!I love peacock's! Most beautiful shade of blue you can get is on the males breast. The only thing about Pride I don't get is why are her eyes different?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
If you're referring to how one eye has a surrounding green decoration and the other doesn't, there's no brilliant reason for it. I just sometimes like asymmetry.

Everyone's eyes have been different colors so far- I suspect Pride's are purple just because it's been long regarded as a "royal" color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant how one is solid purple while the other is a normal looking eye with the green rim.

From what I've seen on your takes of the cardinal sins, I can't wait to see what you would do with the virtues. On that note, I'm curious to see what you would do with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Now *there's* a notion!
Not bad. Maybe I will in due time.

Peace might be a tough one to Apocofy, since the Apocolypse is generally tied with the end of the world, and THAT is generally tied with choas, discord, yada yada.

Overall, each and every last one of your seven deadly sin depictions were not only unique and creative, but it added a grand scale of symbolism that I just love. Great work on all seven overall.

Hey, thanks a bunch for that. Mr. Vamp. Glad to know I did alright.
I appreciate it and I'm happy you think so.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
gotta say, you've done a good job with all these.

Of the seven, Pride and Envy are the best looking for me. Pride's pale complexion and Envy's meltyness catch my attention. It'll be interesting to see read/see the story and the Virtues too. ^^
