I like the entire scene, it screams sloth and mess. I sloth would never clean up after themselves. I love the blue sheen over the picture, creating a more dramatic mood. The whites in the pictures are overexposed and it bothers the eye.

I like that you did not take the food approach, but more the materialistic part of gluttony. I like the graffiti in the wall, combining visual arts is a good idea. Your expression is slightly more depressed than desiring more. The objects and yourself are a little in the dark, almost not noticeable side.

The camwhorishness of this reeks of pride. I love the red theme throughout the pictures, thus making them flow from one to another. I love the implementation of make-up to add to the "I'm more beautiful than you" stance. I like the first picture a lot, that could have been the entry in my opinion.

If you want to rule the world, you must be pretty greedy. That is basically all humans have. Nice representation of the theme. I like the green make up and shirt. I don't like the background very much nor the earth. I would have loved this picture with like a toy earth or something.

I think this is my favorite this round. I like your approach to greed. The presence of green through out the picture presents nicely with the black mark of the marker. I like your expression but I wish I could see your pupil, it's hard to tell an emotion without looking at the pupils.

My favorite parts of this photo are the red rose and the red lips, including your expression. You have a nice jawline. Your arm is a little awkwardly placed. I don't know if I like the cool colors of the background.

I didn't know what this was at first, but after reading the posts I understood the concept a little better, but not greatly. I don't like the burnt edges not the red font. I like the expression on the first photo but not the second. It seems to me a little disorganized.



Hattey's Critiques:

Veenilla: Sloth

I think this picture turned out very well in every aspect. The fact that you used your color really brought something to it. The whole shot was set up well; it’s easy to see that you considered the whole scene to really get the image of sloth. On the camwhore side you can’t really see all of your face but I don’t think that’s a big deal. If a camwhore is being lazy then they sometimes don’t show their whole face, I know we’ve all done that some times. Plus the pose and your body language really work for the shot.

omg its nimbus: Gluttony

I generally think this is a good picture except that gluttony is technically “the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food and drink.” This picture reflects greed to me more than gluttony so it’s hard to judge. But on the aspects of the picture itself I like the composition. The way everything is piled to one side and your on the other sets it up nicely. But again your pose doesn’t express the act of gluttony. I really do love most of your pictures but this one just doesn’t work for me.

Sminkle is a Parasite: Pride

I like the composite of pictures and I think you express pride very well. I can totally see a really vain person having a bunch of these pictures of themselves spread out on a table just to look at. There is a high level of camwhore-ness in your poses and expressions. I think maybe the brightness on the pictures is a little too high, but they do look good.

The picture as a whole looks really good and your photo shopping turned out well. The lighting is good and I like the concept of wanting the whole world. To me your expression doesn’t really express that are greedy but your face looks nice. You have lovely lips if you don’t mind me saying and that doesn’t turn out sounding too weird, lol.

HoverCrab: Envy

This photo is my second favorite and I almost voted for it (it was a close call). I like the idea of being consumed with obsession because that’s what envy is really about. I can tell that you put a lot of effort into the shot, ripping out all the pictures and doodling on them. And yeah, I laughed at the Harry Potter one. Your facial expression gives lots of emotion and I can feel the energy. Great job.

I do get what you’re going for here but I just don’t feel the passion. I mean lust is about energy and excitement but you just look like you’re asleep. But I do think that the pose is good and I like the outfit and props you chose.

Mintea Drops: Wrath

I must say that you picked the perfect character for wrath; vengeful retribution is what Kira is all about. Plus the fact that you have a real death note is cool, but you don’t get any points for that lol. I like the angle looking up at you because it gives an air of you feeling like your better that everyone and deserve to punish them. I wish the other picture had more anger to it, you just seem a little to happy. But the angles are good the quality is great.

--Love your pose for this, and I'm glad you kept the color, 'cause it really helps get a relaxing feel, which is what sloth is all about. The mess helps to convey the laziness, as well as subtle things like holding the bottle like that. Your hair could be slightly messier, though. Oh, & I like the text on this one. It's not tacky at all. Overall, good job.

--I understand what you were going for here, but your body language says, "I don't like all this stuff," not, "I'm glad to have this stuff, but I still want MORE." All that stuff looks really disorganized and messy, though, even though I can see it was carefully organized, and amongst all that stuff, you're not really the focus. The spray paint was a cool idea, though. Is it supposed to be orange, though? (like Gluttony's color) Anyways, it's alright overall.

--The multiple photos help emphasize the self obsession. The first picture is my favorite 'cause it seems most creative. Two of them look rather similar and don't even show your face (which is like the opposite of pride). I like the second to last one, too, because it's really proud looking. The quality is slightly lacking but this is really camwhorish. Would've been nice to see a bit more creativity, though, 'cause most of it's obvious. Overall, though, I like it.

--Very creative. But it looks like you're offering it. Maybe a change of expression and having your hand REACH for it instead of hold it, it would be more accurate. Maybe look at it like you want it. The editing is pretty well done. You're definitely the focus, and I like the make-up. Overall, good idea but needs a little work in pulling it off. Probably one of the best this round, and maybe your best overall.

--When I think envy, I think, "I want to be that," not, "Ugh, she's such a b***h for being so perfect. " I understand what you're getting at, though, and it's a pretty creative idea actually. The doodles are lovely, but the angle isn't. I barely see YOU. My attention is first drawn to the person you're drawing on, then the marker, then you. A different angle would help to show your face more and put more focus on you while still showing the pictures. Overall, I like it, though.

--Not sure waht filter you're using, but your hair looks green and your arm looks yellow. But anyways, the lipstick is a good touch, and I like the closed eyes. I'm iffy about the clothes and the rose, though. I think the way you're holding the rose reminds me of an open casket kinda thing. But as everyone said, this is the classier side of lust and you definitely got the point across. Nice job.

--Interesting take on your theme with "perversion of justice." The first picture is perfect, but having read the manga, I know that the character has actually DONE that pose, so it's not really as creative as it might seem. The second picture is just bad and should've been left out. You looks like a happy college student, not a perverted killer. The text is alright, but I like the burnt edge look. Overall, I'm not satisfied with this. Big quality improvement, though.

Omg omg.

Sloth.
Conveyed in the best way possible. Ever. lol Even if the hairstyle is too neat and cared for (something sloth would not care for), it's a camwhore property and suits this fine. I love how the hanger is parallel to the edge of the pic. You had fun with this picture... biggrin
Light blue became dirty green there, and it totally works lol


Harry potter, good one HoverCrab. xd
Nimbus- your parents have good reason to believe so, too. lol


Crit comes later...!

lol Veenilla's smoking everyone this round.
And I forgot to say in my previous post
she gets my vote as well. xD


@HoverCrab: The dental issues are a very nice touch lol. I like the timeless feel of the picture. biggrin Iz cool, DA it.

And thanks, though it was my favorite picture out of the bunch I got- I agree it could've been lustier. This one was kind of "sweet lust for the first admirer" kind of thing. xd


I had a more elaborate idea for this picture... It involved me portraying bloodlust, lust for smoking(addictions), and carnal lust- while being blinded with a handkerchief. "Blinded by lust." It was going to have a timeless sort of old west style to it. *sigh*
Maybe I will take the picture sometime soon. When I exactly know How I'll get it done. lol

.::::.

I was going to vote for hovercrab, but her facial expression seems to portray disgust more than envy.

so my vote goes to veenila
