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.

You may or may not be aware that this deviation has been stolen by ~SeverusArtemislover and is in their gallery here- [link]
I have reported the deviation so hopefully the staff will see to it... I just thought you ought to know.

Hate to bring you bad news, but I thought I ought to notify you that this piece was stolen: [link ]
The same person also has your "The Warriors" in their gallery ([link ])...I recognized your work right off.

Again, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but thought you should know.

Persephone is lovely, and so is the backround. The only things I don't like are the size of Cerberus (he's far too small), and Hades hair and expression. His face looks slightly drunken to me, and his hair would look more haunting darker and longer. His clothes don't really fit his image as Ruler of the Underworld.
