i might be late to this one but the fact that hades does not refer to persephone by her name at *any* point in the musical runs gd laps in my brain

i rlly hope that other people have Feelings about this because i sure do

lady-hades sketch ib my fic centuries decay

99% traditional, threw some colour over digitally. my fav hobby is sexualising old women

[dykesephone]

could you draw something from come home with me in a lesbian au?

“who are you?” - “the girl who’s gonna marry you.”

ask and you shall receive ✨

based them on eva and reeve just for recognisablily, an all wlw adaptation of hadestown is my DREAMMMMMM so i have no idea why it’s taken me so long to draw these two.

thank u for the request!!

[dykesephone]

do you take requests?

potentially 👀

pls hmu if u have any ideas

[dykesephone]

both arms cradle you now

back on my fem-hades titanomachy bs, stemming from my fic mother bride king and inspired by this art by @alyona11

thinking thoughts and feeling feelings

notes n sketch under the cut

here’s the sketch for bby hades. every drawing ive done so far of her in this au has that cross scar on her cheek, so call this backstory ig?

wanted to have either kronos or a scythe in shadow to mirror the bident in the first pic but it didn’t want to work proportion-wise and frankly i think this is sad enough as is. did manage to get ichor to work colour-wise this time so we’re calling that a win for lita ig

some character designs from my wlw hadsephone mortal au lover tell me, when we’re wed - bebe edition

the fic is set partially in the 1990s when hades and seph are in their early/mid twenties, and also hermes is a drag queen. it’s a fun time yall should totally read it.

(for the record hermes’ drag name is hermes but pronounced like the designer. ehrmez, if u will.)

[dykesephone]

been thinking a lot about concepts for other greek gods in hadestown. so here’s hecate.

somewhat fate-esque on account of being triplicate and vaguely offputting, which i can’t say i’m mad about. i like to think she has girls night with them when persephone is up top and hades is annoying her.

continuation of my last post, modern au f!hades (and cerberus)

ib my fic bodies and breath

first front view ive drawn of butch hades that isnt some demented derivative nonsense and i am in LOVE with her jfc. also cerbs is just so 🥺🥺 he’s a cane corso if anyone is curious, big scary-looking baby doughballs r my fav genre of dog

her tattoo is JANKY lmao, in my brain mortal-hades’ brick sleeve is more of a copy-paste lion/clock/rose sleeve that happens to have brick elements (aged dykes with questionable ink are my fav) but as an ex tattoo apprentice i couldn’t bring myself to put any effort into it.

[dykesephone]

forgot id drawn this, a little sketchy-sketch modern day persephone for u all.

ib my fic bodies and breath

deeply obsessed with the little tattoo details, especially the H on her wrist. in my head hades’ tattoo of her name is 200% canon so feels cute that they match.

anyone with anything to say about my inability to draw feet is homophobic. i do not make the rules.

you need to go to war to find material to sing

More titano-babies, from my demented quasi-Hadestown AU in which Hades is a woman and everyone is traumatised. LtR: Hestia, Hera, Hades, and Demeter

Read the fic here!

sketch n more notes under the cut

Sketched this at work basically immediately after finishing my roughs for the character designs. rip to Deme’s lil headband it was a cute idea in principle but didn’t want to work in the finished piece. Also enjoying Hades looking somewhat actually like Hades now on account of not being fluffy.

Elected to make the blood predominantly red with some gold/yellow accenting just bc it’s convenient visual shorthand for blood and also looked PATENTLY INSANE to have it straight gold.

What are they looking at? Idk! Are they having a nice time? No!

[dykesephone]

wrote some angsty bs about the practical implications of the titanomachy in my fem-hades au. then the evil worm in my brain said i had to draw designs for the olympian sisters.

read the fic here

(character design notes n sketches under the cut)

I feel like it’s basically accepted fanon at least in the HT fandom that Hestia and Demeter look a lot alike, which I’m using here. As a parallel, decided for this fic that the same is true for Hera and Hades. IMO their specific roles mirror quite well - birth/marriage/death. Phases of life have a lot in common when you think about it, and those things are being brunette and pointy apparently.

Wanted them all to be visually distinct but still look related; in my head Hestia, Demeter, and Poseidon bear a stronger resemblance to Rhea, while Hera, Hades, and Zeus are more Kronos. It’s made note of a few times in the fic that Hades specifically looks a *lot* like her dad, which I’m sure doesn’t bother her in any way whatsoever.

Tried to bring a few touches of Amber-Sephone to Demeter, and Hades is about 50% genderfuck Patrick Page with a few hints of Abigail Thorn just for flavour, bc she has a nice face and also in my dream lesbian Hadestown cast, she’s my pick for Hades lmao. Hes and Hera are rlly just serving bouba and kiki.

(Also jfc Hades with long hair looks INSANEEEE but these designs are pre-war so they’re all Babey, just read the fic it makes sense i promise)

REALLY love the traditional sketches, possibly more than the finished pieces tbh. Deme was the last one i finished digitally, and I feel like u can tell lmao.

Love was when she came to me

Begging on her bended knees

To please have pity on her heart

And let her lay me in the dirt

More lesbian Hadesephone, newlywed edition. I have worms in my brain.

Yall are just going to have to imagine the garden because despite having an art degree I cannot draw nature for shit (source: that carnation)

[dykesephone]

and suddenly hades was only a woman,

with the taste of nectar upon her lips ~

Started a side blog to try and quarantine my current Hadestown Problem™

Currently working on a big silly lesbian AU Hadesephone fic that will be posted soon. I myself am a raging lez and the idea of butch dyke Hades makes me weak at the knees, I’m only human. In the meantime have some art.

(Also I am new to the fandom, so please someone be my friend I’m currently yelling at a wall and driving all of my irl friends insane)
