A lot of that jealousy, and wanting another well to me goes along with vanity. That idea of wanting for yourself makes you vain. If too much of that was put into this there would be nothing left if we decided to pride. Its a win loose, though as an artist I am curious to know how it could be improved to fit the theme better for the future.

Okay, now I see the design I have to admit Espy, the pixels don't do it justice.

[Illusion]

Meow meow meow, meow meow meow. MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.

So.... You made a envy item (which represents leviathan a item we already have) but did medusa instead to represent envy...? Why didn't you just do a different sin then? Like gluttony or pride.

[Lauv Keiko]

The only pose I'd see as "envy" for the Invidentia, is that huge green eye.
The rest, I just think it's way too creepy...and to think that I love creepy things.

The only thing that I really like, is the Keeper of the slain...Beautiful shield and LOVELY translucent cape-thing.

And as for the Lionel's Pride, assuming it's a zodiac item (Leo the Lion), I would think that the only missing thing would be fangs....or a mane-like item. That's it.

I rest my case.


p.s.: I would agree with Illusion, btw.

[Monmon]

for leon x'D the mane was the hair but i guess it didint get made, as for claws, they didint look elegantly enought to match the others so i opted for a blade isnted

tought for the entire leviathan envy thing, oAo/ i remmeber it being based off a part of dante's inferno and stuff and yeah the entire fact that leviathan itself was envy reincarnate.

[Poggio]

XD It is hard to explain the method of our madness but in a nutshell it was this:

The yearlies were personifications of creatures. They were suppose to include the creatures that were to be apart of something to be introduced later on. Rabbit was not apart of that, and I am not sure he knew that. So Envy got the creature that was designed later inspired by the idea of Envy.

Wicked Abomination= Wendigo
Radiant Seductress= Unicorn
Hunter of the Wicked= Fenir
Primal Descent= Wolf/Dragon
Avatar of the Gale= Thunder Bird
Guardian of the Fallen= White stag
Sovereign Knight= Griffin.
Patch Work Predator= Chimera
Leviathan Dominion= Leviathan

[Lauv Keiko]

I didn't say claws... Fangs... It looks classy and cool as guns! :D

[Monmon]

@A@ ahhh fangsssss
OTL sorry i didint think about it
i was going more towards what leo represents over then animal.

yeah kid didnt knwo when he desigend it. thought i don't mind cause i do love this mini leviathan scarf.
i'll tell him to post his thingies up later when hes back form work

Honestly I disagree with that statement..

Vanity is more about looks and beauty, a person spending too much time in front of mirror obsessing over how they look, they don't have the time to be jealous of another person cause all they will see is them.

You mentioned the green eyed monster, that is another term used for Envy since a person whom is considered green eyed is either jealous or envious of what someone else has, rather it being money, beauty or another person's girl/boyfriend.

though it is notable to bring up again and put the question on everyone's shoulders; why is this the only one to be contested? other 'sin' monthlies have been even more sloppily executed without any argument at all? wrath was represented by the scordia and that had no callback to wrath anywhere in the item not in theme, not in color, not anywhere, the only possible connection one could make is that /maybe/ the bindings could have been applied by someone else and even then that is hardly any sort of relevance since wrath is considered an active retaliation

it is fine to aske the relevance but why only one and why one o the few that makes any attempt at being what it was supposed to be? sure it is a loose interpretation but it is a sin that is entirely internal with very little external to it and others, which have much easier external cues were not contested at all

[littl3chocobo]

personally i am just happy to have a pretty monthly >x>

[Gallagher]

I'm with you on that one. It's interesting to hear interpretations of what we've gone for, but at the end of the day, it's the pretties that keep me happy. Well, that and hearing from pleased users~

[littl3chocobo]

well consider me pleased XD you guys have been doing a passably good job of it as of late

[Lauv Keiko]

...wouldn't hearing opinions from users make you happy? I mean...it's a discussion thread anyways.
so... *shrug*

@Monmon: Aaah, yes yes. If that is so... WHERE IS MAH SCEPTAAAR?!? xD

[Gallagher]

Well, yes and no. Opinions are always welcome, good and bad, but I can't say it makes me happy when I hear that items didn't hit the mark for users. That doesn't mean that they'll be ignored by any means, we do try our best to make sure there's something for everyone. But you don't have to enjoy criticism to appreciate and benefit from it.

[Lauv Keiko]

touché...
Would there be any changes done [on any of the items] if the masses had given similar opinions?
