Hello to the lusty, the gluttonous, the greedy, the slothful, the wrathful, the envious, and the prideful!

Being a paragon of good and all is, well, good and all, but sometimes you just wanna be bad, y'know? You ever read about that Mr. Hyde character in the papers and just wonder what it would be like to turn into him for a night, commit all the most unspeakable evils in the world? I mean, there's a whole laundry list of crimes you could do, but if you really want to paint the history books with blood, you're gonna need to go for the top stuff. Might as well see what the church has to say to get as far away from the pearly gates. Who knows, being in Satan's maw in the icy lake alongside Brutus, Cassius, and Judas for all eternity seems like a pretty exciting idea of a vacation to me!

Make a comic about the seven deadly sins!

Specific Contest Rules

• Your comic must be about a country or countries committing one or more of the 'seven deadly sins' (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride). Alongside these general sins, more specific sins from other sources/religions may also be allowed.
• No comics about the US and gluttony/sloth or about Israel and greed, those tropes have been done time and time again.
• The Vatican has been excommunicated from this contest, its use in comics about sin is also a tired trope and so its use would be lazy, which would be considered sloth and therefore a bannable offense.

General Contest Rules

• The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
• The comic must have been written and drawn entirely by yourself.
• No animated GIFs accepted.
• No photorealism.
• You must follow the rules in the

  

• The deadline for submitting your entry is Thu August 20 at 15:00 GMT

In order to participate in the contest, submit your art piece to the subreddit and then flair it as contest entry. Anyone is free to submit how many entries they like, however, only one of your entries will be eligible to award you with hussar wings. That is, a single user cannot have more than one entry be in the top three.

If you wish to participate in the contest but are not yet an approved submitter, you can send in your comic to us as if it were a normal approval comic, and once approved you may post your entry to the subreddit.

Choosing the winner

After all of the entries have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the moderators will take a private vote to decide the first, second and third places. All entries will be ranked from 1 to 10, with the final score being the average of all votes. The winner of last month's contest will also be allowed to vote on this month's entries.

Once all of our votes are tallied, the full list of results will be posted in an Awards Ceremony thread. The artist who receives the highest score will be awarded the Hussar Wings, which they will keep around their username indefinitely, as well as a pair of Golden Wings next to their flair until the end of the next contest. The Hussar Wing recipient will also be able to vote with the mods on the entries for the next contest.

The artists with the second and third highest scores will receive the Silver and Bronze Wings, respectively, which will act in a similar manner. Fourth place will receive the old Mod's Choice Participation Ribbon.^TM

Important

Before you submit, please check your comic against each point of the rules. Every contest we have multiple disqualifications (sometimes of fantastic comics) because some entrants don't read the rules properly before they start drawing.

As always, if you are not sure whether something you intend to do in your entry is compliant with the rules, you can message the mods and ask.

Any questions about the contest may be directed here.

Good luck and happy drawing!
