Description
I wanted to do this for my AP portfolio... but I never got a chance to finish it in time ; A ; *sob*oh well *shrug*
I did this entirely with ink! yay!
and some gouache and a red pen too... mmm.. yeeuppp
ooohh.. and a sharpie to outline 8D
if anyone doesn't know the story of persephone:
The goddess of the earth, Demeter, cared for her only daughter, Persephone, with all her heart, so much so that she hid her daughter away from the other gods so that none may woo her. The days of summer were full of life and flowers until Hades, struck by Persephone's beauty, broke through the earth from his underground kingdom and kidnapped her. Demeter, wrought with sorrow, neglected her duty to the earth and all plant life began to die and everything became barren and cold. Zeus was sickened by the diseased earth and sent for persephone to be returned. Before she was taken away from her prison in the underwrold, she was tricked by Hades into eating three seeds from a pomegranate. Because of this, she cannot stay with her mother above ground, but must return to her throne for half of every year. Thus bringing the turning of the seasons, winter to summer.
She is also referred to as "The Iron Queen"

whoaho!!! incredible!!! bahhhhh I'm so sorry you couldn't finish it. ;____; *weeps*
I think it turned out beautifully. I love how the red sort of blends in with the grey. It makes the drippy juicy pomegranate bit seem very convincing! <3 gahhhh and all the more impressive that this was just ink and pens! <3
p.s. her hair owns my life. <3

I love the story of Persephone (I love Greek mythology and mythology in general,) this is such a pretty illustration. I like the dark color scheme, and the random hands.
I also like the way you drew the pomegranate. (If I'm not mistaken, that's what it is, right? ><
Aaah, beautiful illustration, like always.

I don't remember your lust one.. did oyu ever finish anything for your portfolio?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it was a bunch of white hands grabbing a girl with a giant heart in her hand. but i guess it's not that original of a concept when you really think about it.. since we both unknowingly did it.

Your take on Persephone is marvelous; I love the contrast between the red of the pomegranate and the juice dribbling from her lips, and the gray tone of the rest of the piece :> I esp. love her hair omg <33 complex hair is one of my favorite things in the world hahaha
