Re: Curvaceous Cardinal Vices
I suppose I might've been asking for it when I got too close to religion with this thread, and while I do appreciate constructive discussion and other's viewpoints on matters, I don't want anything sour to be born from a spot of fun I wanted to share.
I'm sorry if anyone's decided to take personal offense to my drawing these sins or to the way I chose to depict them. I'm not saying this was the *best* way to depict them, surely not; I'm not brilliant enough for that. I also don't think this was the *wrong* way to depict them either. I don't think there is a wrong way to depict them. I purposefully wanted to try to stay away from the most obvious choices in their designs, for personal satisfaction and while you might argue that what I chose isn't good enough, there is still enough of an influence in what I did choose to more than warrant its' use. Mankind has so many different ways they define and interpret the scriptures; I've read in the case of the golden calf for instance, apart from this thread, opposing viewpoints both stating and explaining why it both does and does not share a connection with greed. Both make sense so it's more a matter of opinion. But in my case, using their gold and worshipping an idol cast of it was material enough for me and them making it a calf gave me an animal to use to spice up her design, so I took it. There is a passage, additionally, in Colossians 3:5 which, depending on your version, reads something like this: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry." That does, I think, define greed as a form of idolatry. But the seven sins are so overlappingly grey in definition that they could all be called a number of things; yeah, they're all a form of greed too. No one is wrong in anything that has been said in this thread, but I will hope that the remainder of it will be spent enjoying what I did do rather than lamenting over it. I'll be drawing these girls again. A lot, if Soy's wonderful story has anything to inspire me over, so just sit back and enjoy it. Aren't we here to have fun? ![]() Next up for colors is Wrath, so be on the lookout for her sometime over the horizon! ![]() |
