Description
"Beyond the Fields of Asphodel,where the souls wander in sorrow,
beyond the Acheron waters,
there I will wait for your return.
I walk away around shadows,
listening moans of pain and despair,
but the voices of thousand ghouls
will not ease your memory in my head.
And now that leaves fall around Earth,
a golden carpet will lead you to me.
And with the cold wind of the winter,
six pomegranate seeds do their duty.
Here, deep in the Underworld
you will find our ebony throne,
and your voice of promises and whishes
will bring life to the eternal dreamers."
My own version of Hades & Persephone. In the picture I portrayed they both, with Cerberus. At the left we can see Charon in his boat and the river Acheron, and in the other side the river Phlegethon, made of fire.
There's a step by step of this one here: [link]
Done in Photoshop.

I really love the detail in this picture especial in the dress. I can see that, in that color with the slit closed a bit, as a my wedding dress .

Hades is my snuggly grumpy deity, and I love him. His armour is amazing, possibly my favourite part of the piece, but I love the whole thing. The entire composition and the attention to detail: amazing. Facial expressions and subtle body language tell an entire tale. Bravo.

ok, so Persephone is amazing! She looks like Kore supossed to look. But on the other hand Hades (for me) doesn't look like Hades. He's, i dunno, to young or maybe to "knight" looking, for me Hades should look like dark lord of underworld, he must be dark! And this picture is mind blowind but still Hades doesn't fit in here.
ps: sorry for lots of mistakes but it's late and i'm tired..even presing shift for me is tireing, besides hungover is never a good thing =.='

wonderful picture ! I've always loved the story of these two. My only irk is that Hades looks a bit too pleasant, like he should be a bit rugged...but thats just my impression, regardless this is a well done piece ^^

que pasada! está muy muy muy bien! y eso que siempre me he imaginado a Hades más mayor y peludo XD y a Perséfone más indefensa, por eso de que con Hades fue a la fuerza. Pero me gusta mucho tu versión, me encanta que hayas incluido tantas flores en ella, al fin y al cabo su madre las hacía florecer.
También me había imaginado al can Cerbero más grande, feo y con más dientes XDD pero me gusta más tu versión, es una pena que quede en un segundo plano porque está curradísimo y es muy mono^^
Está curradísimo y los tonos en la piel de los dos son geniales.
Que de detalles!
