The Seven Virtues-lineart

Description

Apparently last Saturday was World Drawing Day. So my real-life homies decided to get together to just...well.... draw. :P

Needless to say, I didn't know what to draw... Then it occurred to me that there were some characters that I had kept under wraps for a long time. So I figured I should unleash them.

These 7 guys are my rendition of the Seven Virtues.

It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but it's obvious here that I was inspired by `Endling's rendition of the Seven Sins. Then there was the FullMetal Alchemist, where the baddies were the Seven Sins as well. With all the popularity going towards the sins, I asked myself, "What happened to the Virtues?". Yes, I did see such renditions, but I have yet to see their renditions as widely known as the Sins.

All of Endling's portrayal of the sins were illustrated as girls, and I thought it would be terribly interesting to see if the other virtuous side would be the complete opposite; men. Hey! Gender equality, anyone? :P

The Seven Virtues (along with opposing sin values) used here are (in no particular order):
:bulletgreen: Valour (vs Lust)
:bulletgreen: Benevolence (vs Envy)
:bulletgreen: Generosity (vs Greed)
:bulletgreen: Patience (vs Wrath)
:bulletgreen: Zeal (diligence) (vs Sloth)
:bulletgreen: Temperance (vs Gluttony)
:bulletgreen: Humility (vs Pride)

I was actually having a lot of trouble with how to portray Temperance. But thanks to my real-life homies and the inspiration juices hiked up during World Drawing Day itself, Temperance was finally formed and born! And with his existence, the 7 virtue brothers are finally complete.

Of course, it will be hard to tell who's who, just from the face and design alone. I'm afraid that it is only their personality and behaviour that shows which brother represents a virtue.

So.... try and guess which of them represent which virtue. >=3

The Seven Virtue brothers belong to me, ME, MEEE!!! You steal, I bite! Rar!

You know, thinking of powers is tough as the virtues seem... lame


Not your characters, but just think about it: who's going to win in a fight, "patience" or "wrath"?
