THIS HAS OVER 100 LAYERS

Just... Woah o_o

I think I'm finished! I've been working on this thing since Valentine's Day and oh gosh, I'm glad to be finished! I am not completely happy with it, but overall I am pleased. :> This is my entry for 's Envy contest! Go look at her deviations for more details.

SO what we have here is fanart of her comic Invidia, rather than my own interpretation of Envy. We have Lucifer with the cards and that funny looking face I'm not happy with, then we have Mr. Darlington behind him with the masks. Down below we have Adelle and Felicia! No this does not make sense even if you have read Invidia but regardless this was fun to make! I had no idea what to do for a lot of the colors, with Felicia, Adelle's clothes, and Felicia's "world" being examples, as there were no official color resources... SO I took a swing and I may have missed, I may have hit, but either way, I like the result!

I learned so much from making this! I used the cover of Invidia as reference for the colors that did have an official color resource.

The resoultion is supposed to be 400dpi and the size should be the size of A5 paper, 5.8" x 8.3", but I have no idea because SAI and Photoshop were telling me different things
In regards to the contest, I checked and the grayscale of this looks not bad Yay :>

What even is anatomy and lighting

I also used the cover of Invidia as reference for the money, because I had no idea how to simplify the detail.

Aaaaaaaaand 3rd place goes to… ~MistPower101
with her astounding entry Invidia

I was blown away at how much detail was cast into this entry! I loved how all of the characters fitted into the great scheme of things with Mr Darlington holding the Greek Tragedy masks, to Lucifer observing events below with interest, particular cards held in his hands, and two lost souls clinging to each other in the hopes of getting what they desire. There is so much going on in this piece you have to study it slowly to take it all in! I particularly like how MistPower101 has included Lucifer's old ringmaster outfit back in the days of Artists At The Ready 2 XD That's a nice touch, and I'm not sure if this was a coincidence or anything, but the middle outfit strikes a similarity to the outfit Lucifer dons for the Artists At The Ready 3! So yeah, a little bit that fascinated me personally XD And I have an absolute thing for colours XD So this definitely ticked the right boxed in the colour department :> SO MANY OF THEM! YAY! With the magical wonderland in the mirror being all pretty and sparkly, and the depressing realm of reality so dark and overwhelming, and then the bright, bright and most temptingly thin line of that envious green dividing the two worlds apart, lots of points are awarded there! I think what grabbed my attention most of all was just how much effort Mistpower101 put in to make this masterpiece! Definitely deserving of a prize :> And for the Envy Meter? The sin is strong in this one heheheh…

And so what does ~MistPower101 win from this? Invidia will have its feature at the back of the The Seven Deadly Sins anthology, plus a free copy shall be shipped over to her! Astronomicalmazingly Awesome! I think I should stop with this now XD
