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.

If that is really Hades, I wouldn't mind going to hell. Seriously.
This is one of the most beautiful artwork I have ever randomly encounter

It's very beautiful. I love the design you gave Persephone's dress... It's looks like a dress one would wear when they were alive and not in the underworld. Which is really what she would wear. Hades armor is awesome looking.

My favorite part of this piece is your description of it - I've never seen that story portrayed from Hades and his angle/thoughts. It's quite beautiful, and I think your art does it a great justice.

Beautiful. Persephone is the main focus of this picture, it seems, am I right? I love the depiction of her. Honestly, Hades seems a little too youthful for my taste, but the picture itself is beautiful, nonetheless.

Wow... Realmente precioso...
Esta pareja, su mundo, sus leyendas... siempre me han inspirado mucho.
Se podrΓa decir que era el lado oscuro de la mitologΓa griega. He escrito tanto sobre ello, imaginado tantas veces a Caronte en la Laguna Estigia...
Y me ha encantado ver estre trabajo hoy.
Es maravilla y dulzura para la vista. Como todos tus trabajos.
Realmente me encanta tu estilo.
Espero con ilusiΓ³n este verano, pra reunir dinero para una buena tableta grΓ‘fica. Espero sacarle algo de jugo, ya que ΓΊltimamente, y creo que es por la prΓ‘ctica, veo que siempre que me pongo a dibujar (a mano, eso sΓ... ) los resultados no me defraudan tanto como antes.
AsΓ que espero hacer cosas buenas cuando tenga la tableta ^^
Y los tutoriales que haces me parecen estupendos, y muy a tener en cuenta cuando tenga por fin mi tableta, para empezar, por lo menos, con buen pie.
Fue un placer conocerte en el SalΓ³n del Manga.
Bye! ^^
