First, about the list of the virtues I will draw READ THIS : [link] Thank you.
And then, the last virtue, fortitude. I have a special love for this one. First, why a knight? because when I was young, I had a trauma with an anime named Saint Seiya ~ a lot of french people from my generation know what I mean, this anime was a revolution in my country we were all addicted to it. Well the story is about friendship and fight and make everything possible with courage and mind. So fortitude HAD TO BE a knight because it's the first (and only) image that came in my mind. Fighting for a great cause, for people, for your friends, for yourself too. Don't give up. I'm using red here because red is a color I truly love (with purple) and it's a symbol of power to me. Fortutide is a really great virtue, the one who help you to not give up, whatever your problem is. When I was younger, this feeling inside me was kinda "bad". At this period, my courage was more related to rage. I fought hard with the rage inside of me for making my life better and better and better. Sometimes I fought with people because I wanted them to hear what I had to say, and most part of the time I fought with myself because I am my biggest enemy ... and with time that anger started to become something positive, a feeling I now love to have inside me, something useful that make me move far away. That's maybe why I like challenges and I really hate monotony in my life. I want to try new thing, see new people etc ... I don't want to regret to have not done the things I dream to accomplish because of my fears. And to be honest, I'm really rude with people around me who find any sort excuses for not doing things because they are too lazy to even try to do something by themselves. Seriously I hate this, especially when they complain about everything but they don't try to move their butts. "Help yourself and god will helps you", like the proverb says.
I wish you to have fortutide, to be courageous even if it's hard, because when you accomplish something good by fighting for it, this is an amazing feeling. This is the most useful virtue to me

Wow! Everything you draw is like pure GOLD, . I wish I was talented like you, by the way have you had any art lessons and how long have you been drawing?
I think it's cool, there's already enough 'fanart' for the Seven Deadly Sins - why not make some for the virtues, no?
