"Envy is an emotion that occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.

It can also be a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person's self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been him or her who had the desired object.

Although envy is generally seen as something negative, Russell (1930, p. 82) referred to envy as “one of the most universal and deep-seated of human passions” and the tendency to feel envy seems to be present in all cultures "

Yet another illustration for my own story book. I've been working on the illustrations for a few years now.

I felt the need to submit something since I know I've been quiet.

It was entirely painted in photoshop CS with the use of a wacom tablet.
Remind me never to paint scales again lol it was a fun painting to do.
And an emotion I have wanted to portrait for quite some time now,

I feel like envy and jealousy often drive people to madness doing the worst harm to other one could possibly imagine.

It is in my opinion the worst of all sins.

Both girl were referenced from myself. I like the evil one
