Trying to create my own take on the myth of Hades and Persephone. I apologize in advance for the gratuitous amounts of making out.

Hey Guys! Welcome new Followers! 

I’m awed that you guys all care about my lil’ ol’ drawings enough to follow me, tbh!

SOOoo. I am about to finally graduate college. (FINALLY) . My thesis has been keeping me swamped for the past few months, which is why there hasn’t been much posting. But, now I’m about to start a new chapter in my life and that means I’m gonna have a lot more time to dedicate to making this webcomic happen! 

I’ve been working on this story for four years now, and It’s slowly taking form. Recently I’ve gotten absorbed in world-building, so I hope y’all like maps and lore and shit cause i’m gonna be going Hog wilD.

Oh and here’s some Hades heads. I’ve been trying to simplify his design a tiny bit to make him easier to draw lol. Let me know what you guys think. I’d love to know which scar seems best.

Thanatos doesn’t like it when people stare.

Hades and Persephone may have had a lil trouble getting their feelings across at first ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Here is a completed WIP from a million years ago of Hades, Persephone and their respective pets chillin on Hades’ couch.

Hope you guys enjoy! I’ll try to post more in the coming months, but this final year of college is already murder.

I’M NOT DEAD!!

Here’s a work in progress to prove it.

[aidonkore]

Do you know of any resources I could use to read Greek mythology? I'm interested in learning about it, but don't know where to look first.

Hi Anon!! When I was first trying to learn more about greek mythology I looked online for reading lists and this is the best one I found!

http://norse-mythology.org/10-best-greek-mythology-books/

I recommend all of Homers’ works, and number three, D’aulaires’ book of greek myths, especially. 

If you’re a fan of poetry, I highly recommend checking out a translation of the Homeric Hymns which are a collection of poems about and honouring the many members of the pantheon. They’re really inspiring!

Hope I helped!

I’m so glad you stumbled in! Hope you enjoy my future posts <3

Your art style is lovely, it's pleasant to the eye and has a nice flow to it. I really like your take on the characters. Thank you for the time you must've spent developing your skills and thank you for posting and sharing what you create, it made my heart warm.
