We ventured into the production of our own personal interpretation for 【The Seven Deadly Sins】.
The fifth illustration concerns: 『Invidia 』Latin name for Envy.

Symbolism:

  SNAKE SKULL: In the classical iconography, the Snake is represented with this vice. This is because in the negative view, the snake simply indicates pitfalls, deceptions or envy. Its flexibility allows the most unexpected attitudes. Here is also in the skull version to remind the Vanitas. 

  YELLOW ROSE (Flower): In the language of flowers the yellow rose is often associated with infidelity, shame, envious, resentful and jealous.

  HAIR: The hair is disheveled and green, reminiscent the movement of snakes, this for bad thoughts for other people.

  TONGUE: Forked Tongue, because it is always ready to spread poison in the minds of others.

  HEART: Pain for envious is devouring her own heart, because the worst damage she does to herself rather than to other.

  OCTOPUS TENTACLES: In ancient times, these octopus wes seen as messenger of the abyss, a symbol of disturbing grip. It is considered a sly and ambiguous animal. In addition he was connected the reputation of aphrodisiac animal, which could bring obscene and lustful dreams.


Technique: Ink and Watercolor

and the unreasonably large, unrealistic boobs are because it's very deep and profound symbolism as well, and not at all anything catering to the superficial bias of society.

It could be.
However Envy could also be represented with snakes on the breasts, but we did not do this, in way to not load the image too much. So in the end we only left the breasts. All this has its meaning, in fact envy feeds the other sins.
