Envy is the pain or frustration caused by another person having something that one does not have oneself. An envious person wishes to possess something someone else has and often at the same time wishes that the other lacked it

The Challenge:

Create a piece of digital art that conveys the emotion of Envy.

Participants were given one(1) week in which to finish their creations, starting August 7, 2007 and ending on August 14, 2007

^{For this the rules stated to try not to use just a girl looking jealous, but to try to incorporate symbolism into the deviation and to give it a second layer of meaning (note that the envious girl was just an example, you could also try to keep your piece completely abstract).}


The Entries: (no particular order)
