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 kinda like how she's clinging to his arm, like she just got here and she's clinging to the one thing she instinctively knows won't harm her, even if she doesn't realize it.

This is very beautiful. I love the way you portrayed Hades! He looks very different from the commen representation that most people make. He looks like a handsom dark prince rather than evil king dressed in all black. Persephone is amazing too! Well done!

I love everything except how baby faced Hades is. He lookes even younger than Persephone. I think he should be a bit more handsome, and older looking. Otherwise its a beautiful peice

i love the way you have portrayed both Hades and Persephone - for some reason i have always imagined that they loved each other and this portrayes it really well. Its not often that you see a young Hades - usually he is about mid thirties or what not, so I love what youve done with this - very well done xx

I have always thought that he and Persephone were in love. I don't know why, I think it has something to do with the story of Orpheus. Well done. Your fabric is gorgeous.

i really love it and i have always wanted to see hades portrayed as a good looking man, but my only critique is that i don't like his eyes. it looks like he's either sleepy or drunk, or this was a picture taken while he was in mid-blink.

I love that this Persephone is not a fainting, frail shadow of a woman and that she seems to be in love with Hades. And the fact that Hades is intent on and absorbed in Persephone as well shows that her love and affection are returned and multiplied. Beautiful!!

Considering that Hades was older than Zeus, he looks a bit young for my tastes. It's still a fabulous picture with beautiful colors and imagery!
