Artist's Comments

Final Project for Senior Studio, an exploration of how we consciously or subconsciously associate sin with femininity, demonizing women in the process. The seven deadly sins as various mythological monsters (however I purposefully removed all the fantastical bits because, in fact she is just a woman, not something to be feared).
:D

The Echidna, half beautiful woman, half serpent who lured unsuspecting people in with her beautiful face only to devour them and feed them to her monstrous children.

This entire series is gorgeous - it was so difficult choosing which one to comment on (I didn't want to flood you with comments). I really love the lighting on this one - just beautiful (:

And there I thought the Echidna was just some innocent spiky marsupial...I'll be wary next time I see one...shifty little things...
Beautiful series - this one really catches the eye, but they're all stunning - your work is gorgeous!
The little finger looks a bit skewed, but I think tis just the angle :) Keep up the great work!

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Curiosity killed the cat, but it had one hell of an adventure along the way

Interesting creature... I haven't heard of her before. Once again, amazing job! I love your style so much; the lines and the way everything is colored is so much different from what I have seen before, and you just make the most wonderful pieces of work! Keep it up!
