Ashley Soltis - Seven Deadly Sins 1/3
My Seven Deadly Sins project is composed of three iconic Disney villains. This piece here portrays Maleficent, and her corresponding sin - wrath. I was inspired by the recent release of the Disney Designer Villains collection, as well as MAC's makeup line of Venomous Villains. The font I used is Incised Black Wide, which I downloaded from dafont.com. The text I used for inside the character is Georgia, to maintain a polished and legible appearance. The tutorial I used to assist me in this process is located at this address:

I found dialogue that represented the character, typed it out, and used blending modes in Photoshop to distribute the text over the image. I also utilized an inner shadow for the main text of the sin, to give the piece more depth. I applied the same effect to the image. I feel this aided in making the piece more shadow-y and not just stark blackness. The other villains I will be using are Cruella de Vil (greed/gluttony) and the Evil Queen from Snow White (envy).
