ROUND 03
Neuro's Mysterious Journey
Challenge 07: Seven Deadly Sins



The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of objectionable vices that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning fallen humanity's tendency to sin. The final version of the list consists of wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. - from Wikipedia.

Welcome to the semi-finals. Congratulations on making it this far. For most of you, this will be your last stop. But to better your chances of making it to the final destination, there will be quite a few opportunities for bonus points. There will be 3 mysteries eaten this week. Your mysteries are growing riper by the day and Neuro is practically drooling on my shoulder as I type this.

But enough about that...

THE CHALLENGE
This week's challenge is to make an icon depicting a character that is canonically guilty of the sin you are assigned. Each sin has 3 corresponding criteria - each one of those that you use will result in a bonus point. You can use any shounen/seinen animanga character of your choosing, however, you cannot icon any of the homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist. That would be too easy.

For 2 more bonus points, you can make a second icon using your sin's corresponding heavenly virtue. The character in the icon must be a character that practices/encompasses the heavenly virtue. Like the deadly sin icon, you can gain 1 bonus point for each criteria you use in the icon.

participation/criteria
The challenge is open to:
Ewan Hunt - Pride: violet, mirror, beautiful | Humility: violet, singular, plain
Mariya Shido - Envy: green, serpent, desire | Kindness: green, ivy, warmth
Shinobu Godai - Wrath: red, lightning, jagged | Patience: red, sunlight, soft
Shizuo Heiwajima - Sloth: light blue, bubbles, reclined | Diligence: light blue, lines, upright
Soul Eater - Greed: gold/yellow, jewels, wide crop | Charity: gold/yellow, sharing, close crop
Tieria Erde - Gluttony: pink, lace, abundance | Temperance: pink, negative space, parchment
Trunks Briefs - Lust: crimson, flame, touch | Chastity: crimson, water, key

Assignments were done alphabetically by character and in the order that the sins appear here. Color assignments and criteria based off this set of images. If you use the color criteria, the color should be the predominant color in the icon.
