My entry for the God/Goddess/Angel contest by *LadyEdanaStock & *RLDStock . This is the best version of it i could get the original drawing is 18 inches square, charcoal and pastel. I don't have a decent camera right now, so i had to scan it in 6 pieces and paste them together in photoshop but no other editing has been done besides basic manipulation to fix the greys so it looks more like it does in real life. like, I didn't clone stamp out mistakes or anything, heh. It does look pretty grainy, I think that is just how the texture of the paper gets digitized.

So, it's my favorite Ancient Greek Myth, the story of Hades & Persephone, at least my take on it. I think Persephone chose to eat the pomegranate seeds so she would have to stay with Hades. maybe because Hades is such a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. with lots of jewels.

stocks used for reference:

[link] by *LadyEdanaStock for Persephone. I decided I had to use this one because I think it is really pretty. I didn't do the tilt of the head exactly the same, but, it's what I wanted in the end.

[link] by ~Synchrestra for Hades. I had a hard time finding the perfect reference for Hades as I wanted something very specific, but this one worked out really well. Of course I made his hair longer.

So, the deadline for this contest has been extended indefinitely, i encourage more people to enter. give ya something to do, eh? a bit of a challenge... push yourselves...
