Imagination level: Llama

And so the shadows set over the cold city, stiffening the ice peaks hanging from the roofs, interrupting their diurnal try to melt in the sunlight. Once again, winter was back.


I apologize for the wnb poeticness.
Aaaaanyways. Just wanted to share something with you readers so here's a delicious chicken pie I baked last week.
SO GOOD.

Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath

I hate you. I hate myself. I hate everyone. Somebody is going to die.



Ah. The sin of wrath.

Uncontrollable rage. Anger of such greatness that it leads to violence and destructiveness. 
"Love of justice perverted to revenge and spite" - Dante.

I had one thought in mind: Seeing red. When anger reaches a level of almost-madness. 
Without further explanation, here's what I did.


I did sort of a mask, covered the eyes and temples completely. Color scheme is red and black. The colors of burning destruction and pain.



Details: The waterline is red, showing how utterly full of rage the person is, and the color is escaping out of the body through the lower lashes.
We have a very defined shape, no softness here. And the flared out lashes are there to make it more feminine. Didn't want to look like the devil....



Took some time to get up, but here it is. Hope you liked it. ^^


Until next sin ;)

Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

A person suffering from a thirst for life, trying to satisfy an infinite longing with finite things. 

Gluttony is overeating. Eating more than required. Overconsumption of food and drinks to the point of waste. (If you've read Catching Fire, think Victory tour party in the Capitol) Only concentrating on the needs of the body, ignoring the consequences of endless voracity.

This is fairly appropriate since all I've done this winter break is eat.

To translate into modern language, gluttony is the reason to and the nemesis of anyone who is overweight or has a drinking problem. Anyone who can't control how much, when, how often or what they eat. 

ANYwho, on to the look. I thought; foody colors, actual food and looking like I am gluttony personified. 



The main lid color being orange, I took it all the way up to the brow to emphasize the excessiveness of the sin. There's some dark brown in the crease and a lot under the eye. Something a bit deviant are the sprinkles I glued to the lashes. I mean, why not? ^^



On the other eye I actually put melted chocolate in the outer corner and let it run down. As if I am so full that there isn't room for any more and it has to find a way out. Same goes with the corner of my mouth. And the lips are just luscious, aren't they :3

A lot of blush and bronser to make my cheeks look edible. Yes, I glued marshmallows and crushed Marianne to my temple and forehead. That's just what I do, all right?




Until next sin

Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

Oh it's been a while since I've done a deadly sin. I guess I've just been a good girl. hah nope not me. I've just been really busy with school etc. Enough excuses, this is greed!

Greed is one of the sins with a deadly desire. In this case the desire to possess an excess of wealth and valuable objects. You have no intentions of making anything of your possessions, you just need to know they're yours. And that you own more than others. It's funny how this applies to almost everyone nowadays. Except nuns...
This is the one that's been the biggest bitch to me int the past. Not anymore though.




Originally I was going to paint my entire face gold, as if I had been touched by King Midas... Didn't work though. Just made me look extremely sweaty. So I went for my second option: the two faces of greed. You have your polished, pretty face, only showing a bit of the glam you own. And the "real you", reflecting the thirst for money you really have. 
I ended up only liking the "polished" side of my face. So that's what I'm showing you now! :)

I photoshopped the shit out of my eyes to make them look like gold.

Everything is shimmery or straight on glitter, resembling the life of the greedy. The green element underneath the eye is supposed to represent money (bills, you know). And I couldn't not add the lashes and the rhinestones. I mean, if you're going for glam you gotta go all the way.
You can kind of see that half of my face is in fact golden, but just think of that as the dark, secret identity of a greedy person.




Until next sin!


Ps. I didn't dye my entire head orange, just the front with a super permanent dye. The rest of the hair is basically my natural color but shinier.
