The final version of this picture isn't a bit like the original thumbnail. Overall, though, I'm almost happy with how this turned out. I had to postpone "retiring" my sketchbook so I could finish this piece; it was a mere two pages away from the end of the sketchbook! I finally retired the sketchbook yesterday and decided to call it quits on this picture. (I'm considering doing a series, but I'm not too sure about that yet. If I did I'd probably do Lust or Gluttony next. Unless someone has a better idea. )

I had a lot of thoughts while developing this piece, and I tried to fit as much symbolism in the details as possible. I don't expect it to be readily understood; but I do expect everyone to have their own interpretation!

Materials: Graphite pencils on sketch paper.
