Something a little different.. sort of.. oh who am I kidding, if I could draw what I please all day long I'd draw creepy and shiny things non-stop. Anyways!

I was mulling over the idea of illustrating something along the lines of seven deadly sins, but the result was instead something of an analgam of several - wrath, lust, pride, greed, vanity, but not much on envy or gluttony. Those two just didn't really fit in without making it a whole lot more complicated and awkward.

It is very detailed, most of which is lost at this size, but should look pretty sweet in print. A detail shot(at 33% of the full size, mind you!) might give a general idea. I had a lot of fun with the sword designs - there's a big dragon halberd, some hilts with snakes, one sword with a giant butterfly (hard to spot though), one with an elaborate celtic knot (my first one ever!), one with a horse skull etc. etc.

All in all this took about 16 days of extra furious scribbling in Corel Painter 9 (and complaining to everyone willing to listen) with Wacom Intuos 3.
