Artist's Comments

Persephone's story of abduction by the god of the underworld, Hades, has great emotional power: an innocent maiden, a mother's grief over her abduction, and great joy after her daughter is returned. It is also cited frequently as a paradigm of myths that explain natural processes, with the descent and return of the goddess bringing about the change of seasons.

Three days on and off. Nyehh and there's also a walkthru to go along with it so watch out for that. I just need to organize my screenshots. The darkest of the greek gods, I present the fourth installment in my project:

Hades. (And Persephone) Duh.

The walk-through and stages of making this artwork is now available here: [link]

I think there should be an automatic *fave* button for certain artists.
You'd be one of the first on my list ;]
This is just amazing.

A beautiful portrayal of this classic story.
In my favorite version though, Persephone falls in love with Hades =) (Not to say Demeter still wasn't upset when her daughter was away.)
You did a wonderful job with the rain, water is always difficult yet you make it look easy. And the sheen on the horses' coats are flawless. Beautiful work ^.^

Ah, I like that version, too. Lovely example of Stockholm syndrome, eh? Still, it is a great story and they are perhaps my favourite greek couple. Screw Paris and Helena! Zeus and Hera, pffttt...

and you have no idea what you're talking about. Rain? Easy? Pssshhhh no! My god that rain drove me insane. :hug:

:glomp: Lissiiiieeee. :heart: That button would be amazin'. It would save me so much trouble! I mean, all I'd ever have to do when viewing one of your pieces then would be to screech like a fangirl and spam up the comments section, eh?
