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.

Ooh, Persephone's dress is absolutely stunning and you've managed to make Hades into one sexy beast. I also really love your interpretation of Hell: while there's still the element of lava, heat and brimstone, it has a much murkier, dark look than the usual bright reds we usually associate with Hell. Fabulous work!

This is beautiful. I love the detail on Persephone's dress, and the flowers in her hair. Also that grass is growing where she's standing. I like Hades' armor, and nice job with Cerberus - making him more wolflike than doglike was a good idea. And very true to myth, as well, what with Charon and the rivers in the background. Incredible.

Thanks ^^.
The guy is staring at her with love, thatβs why he has a dreamy look .
The key for the skin is the use of the colors. Try to use violet, blue and green together with the common colors, they will bring life to the skin. Also you have to study how the light incides in a face, you can do that looking at people whenever you can .

I remember reading this mythology story back in the 6th grade and I was always amazed with it for some odd reason. I really love how you drew it and made Hades handsome and Cerberus a series of wolves. Persephone is really pretty and the background is so perfectly done. I love all your work and this one is amazing beyond all compare! X3
