Since drawing my little "Seven Deadly Sins" ages ago, I wanted to complete it all and make a similar set with the Seven Heavenly Virtues. But, I ran out of ideas and inspiration...and I wasn't overly keen on the chibi style that they were to be drawn in.
So, when I recently came across *Michelle84's "Rainbow Knights" deviations, I suddenly got my inspiration for the Virtues and turned them into thus...the Heavenly Virtue Warriors!

Yes, it's been a while, no? Well, I just haven't been having a good time with Hope, unfortunately. There was just something about her that I didn't like working with...over-excessive use of the colour pink, perhaps?

Anyway, Hope represents Desire, Belief, Reliance and Expectation - a lot like her twin sister, Faith, although she happens to be a lot cheekier and extrovert than her sister. I thought the colour pink would be the best for her personality - a bubbly and in-your-face colour.

She sports the front of the costume you see in Faith's picture, which I personally think looks a whole lot nicer. Unfortunately, just like I had with Faith, the biggest problem is the sword which looks far too big because you can't see the whole hilt. And I don't like her face...it was fine until I coloured her eyes. Now she looks...weird.

I don't like her, full stop. I really don't.
