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.

Beautiful, and well done. I do like how you make Persephone carry the idea of summer/spring with her. And I liked how you made Hades look nice and pretty. I think he seriously got the short end of the stick, but at least he's got a girl who learned to love him. ^_^

i really like how you didn't make hades ugly.....he just looks like a very stern and serious man (and very hot) giving a good reason why persephone would follow him underground....and persephone just seems to glow amongst all the shadows and murk...and i really love the cerberus...all 3 heads have a different personality


really this is a very beautiful piece of art!

That is beautiful! I love how you've drawn Hades. He's so young and cute, like how it should be. And Persephone is stunning! A very lovely couple indeed! Their story has always been one of my favorite Greek myths, and your picture fits in beautifully with the story!

OMG I just finished to read a book where Per(seph)one and Hades appear (The dream-hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon), so I couldn't be more delighted atm.


Beautiful work hon

This is so incredibly beautiful. I think Persephone looks gorgeous, and I love the fact that there's grass under her feet even though it's barren everywhere else. There are so many incredible details, like the flowers, her dress, and Hades' armor. I love mythology-based art and this piece is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing!

my slight obsessive love for mythology (especially roman and greek) aside, this is an amazing work. I love the portrayal of hades and persephone, as young there's so much more too them. plus the background is so great, very well done, i love the trees best.
yes, overall a gorgeous picture.
