Artist's Comments

My interpretation of Greek myth deities Hades and Persephone. Persephone spends half the year in the Underworld with Hades. Because of this the seasons change and the world goes into winter.

This is beautiful! I love it very much.

This one time, in Latin class, we were suposed to make a video. We decided to do it as a roman myths thing, with just little clips of different gods and goddesses. We all got to choose each others characters, and every agreed to make me Persephone (of course since this is Roman myth, I went by Proserpina). One of my friends decided to be Pluto, so we figured we should do a scene where Pluto takes Proserpina down to the Underworld with him. Here is the script:

Proserpina: (prancing around in a garden, playing with flowers, wearing a flowery toga made out of sheets :XD )
Pluto: (appears from behind a bush, wearing a black toga and a black cape) It is I, Pluto, God of the Underworld! (raises hands to spread out cape)
Pluto minion: (makes strange hissing insanity noises)
Proserpina: Aah! Not Pluto, God of the Underworld!
Pluto: Yes, it is I.
Pluto minion: (more hissing noises of insanity)
Pluto: It's WINTERTIME! (envolopes Proserpina in black cape)
Proserpina: (screaming)


Yes, it was great. haha.

I just adore how you did Persephone's hair, you're really fantastic with rings and curls. It's so weird, because for my current Illustration I piece I've been doing Persephone :3 Although, I put her with Demeter, since the teacher said my Hades was too girly hahahaha XD I really do love this though. I love the Snape-ish-ness to the Hades as well, it just works so great (I did the same thing XD My friend was like, "wait, is this Hades... or snape?" haha) Lovely picture, and gorgeous coloring (with the deadness taking over Per) Wonderful work!
:iconenerjak:
That's frickin' WICKED. I love the way you paint stuff! Jealousness.
:iconkyria:
