Description
"The word lust is phonetically similar to the ancient Roman "lustrum", which literally meant "five years". This was the cycle time for the ritual expiation of "sins" called the lustration as practiced in ancient Greek and Roman cultures. However, in the 11th to 15th centuries the northern European usage of the verb still meant simply "to please, delight;" or "pleasure". A related form "lusty", originally meant "joyful, merry" or "full of healthy vigor".
The word "lust" moved closer to its present meaning in the 16th century with its use in the Protestant Reformation's early non-Latin Bible translations.
Today, the meaning of the word still has differing meanings as shown in the Merriam-Webster definition. lust: 1. a: pleasure, delight b: personal inclination: wish 2. intense or unbridled sexual desire: lasciviousness 3. a: intense longing: craving b: enthusiasm, eagerness <admired his lust for life>."

Another one I consider done for now, I can't look at this drawing anymore! The face just bugs me, as well as the hair, and everytime I try to fix it I just seem to make it worse! XD So I realize her hand isn't done, the nose is tilted too "up" and her hair doesn't flow as smoothly as it should, but at least I'm happy with the skin and the pose.
Notes: Obviously lust wouldn't wear too much clothes, using her goldfish-tail seductively to cover herself a little instead. I also made her blonde and not red-haired because it would ruin the color scheme XD I used mainly primary colors - red, yellow and blue - to really make it "pop".
Hope you likey either way!
Thank you for bearing with me
Much love,
