As most of you know Im doing the 7 deadly sins with an Alice in wonderland twist At first look this may seem like the 7 deadly sin envy- but its not.. This is the 7 deadly sin greed I decided to do it green and Im not really sure why I know that ill also do envy green and maybe lust red as I have done pride but we shall see.
I chose to use the mad hatter and the hare with their tea party for greed because in cartoon movie of Alice in wonderland the mad hatter and the hare are quiet greedy when Alice comes to join them at their over large tea party *no room* they shout out at her even though they have too much tea to spare and chairs for that matter.
FULLVIEW please
I love the colours the greens and purples with a bit of blue and pink its all very yummy. I am just a little disappointed with how it turned out, its a little hard to see what is going on in this image ..which is a bit of a shame. Before it was completed I had started on the mad hatter and everything was a little clearer to see. The table covered in tea cups and kettles steaming warm poisoned smoke make it a bit confusing. The table wraps around behind the hatter.. I put an awful lot into this and with the other 5 deadly sins left to go ill probably continue with the detail and the colour themes.

ps ~dontkillthellama has written something for this image also... it is fantastic and really suits the image please take a look [link]
I took the mad hatter part of this work and had it tattooed. I love the colors and the detail you did with the buckles on the Hatter's arm. I also love his hollow, sinister eyes. I have the tattoo on my left arm so I guess we know which arm I should steal with. Where should I get Alice?
The detail you have put into it has really paid off, its a shame that its not bigger
