Description
Angels are known to be everywhere, when we need them most, when we least expect them. We also know of the Fallen Angels. Those no longer bright with heavens light but with something far more twisted. Now, we know of the Angels Of Sin. Fallen Angels, each dedicated to one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They are meant to tempt us and they do the job so very well.This is my take on the Seven Deadly Sins. It is not a religious statement. This is just fantasy and art. Take what you will of them.
The Angel Of Greed
Greed is the desire to gain wealth at the avoidance of the spiritual. It is often called Avarice or Covetousness and is commonly connected with the color yellow or "gold." The Angel of Greed is sent to show us glimmering items and tempt us to try obtain more of them than we would ever need. She usually whispers in the ears of good Kings and Queens causing them to fight for wealth instead of what is right.

I do like the colours, the presentation compliments the item in the back ground.
A thought that came to me reading the description as a different approach, Would be to have lots of bling in the room. Perhaps a greedy or puzzled look to the main character, getting shown yet another object that the Greed angel as offered.
Or perhaps this charachter has spent to much money and has nothing to show? Maybe this is what you are showing.

Was going for a mid ground actually between the two. She has everything she needs. A beautiful place to live, outside is warm and inviting but there she is, sitting open mouthed gaping at a gold item that is being shown to her when she could be appreciating everything she already has. Was trying to show someone doesn't have to have everything they want but have more than what they need and it still be considered greedy to want more.

One thing I want to say up front that I like about this series, is that each one emphasizes a different color theme. Not sure why but I've always thought it was cool to have similar things with their own color
I know that I'm likely repeating myself with the same comments on these, again they are uniformed in their style which makes them all the more impressive.
Again superb lighting, I am especially impressed with the shading on the character who is seated. The whole scene has a renaissance look to it. I just think its awesome

I like the color you chose to make the angel. It's kind of gold which suits greed perfectly.
Again it's really good!

This piece is particularly eloquent, and the facial expressions are a big part of that, I feel. Good job!

Thankies so much! Trying to make sure to get the expressions in there even if this isn't a portrait series. Fine touches and such.

I really like your lighting set up on this one, and the gold textures on the dress.

If you like RPGs it's the best ever. Can be as good... or evil as you want! It's in the same style as Neverwinter Nights, Baldur Gates or KOTOR.
