This is my long overdue wall for flyin's 7 Virtue Project.
As mine was abstinence, or thats what I chose, I decided to take a more non conventional approach to it. Im not a big fan of the traditional connotations of this virtue consisting of mainly...abstinence from such things as sex, food, etc. Instead I took an environmental and somewhat Buddhist approach to it. These excerpts from the wiki article on it, sum up what I was going for pretty well:
"In India, Buddhists, Jains, and some Hindus abstain from eating meat on the grounds both of health and of reverence for all sentient forms of life. Total abstinence from feeding on the flesh of cows is a hallmark of Hinduism."
"The environmental movement does not necessarily advocate abstinence from bodily pleasures such as sex, but it does promote a lifestyle in harmony with the simplicity of nature, due to the limitations of non-renewable resources."
How this relates to the actual image? ill leave up to the viewer. Ill just say, I wasnt going for a literal visual representation, but more the mood I got from the image. With that said, for those that don't know, the lovely character in the wall is Lalah Sune from the Original Gundam. I simply vectored a scan I liked of her and extended some of those nice ol' swirls. ill post more res soon on pixel-ellipsis.net, and as i said before, be on the lookout for the new layout.
