“Persephone looked down to take the last look of what had been her home for the last months, searching for her husband’s face. But he was no longer there, and that made her feel an inexplicable emptiness.” — “Run Deep” Chapter 14 - Farewell

[itsmeimcathy]

“Mother, he touches me as if I am the silver over which he rules. Mother, he stares at me as if I am more fearsome than all the creatures in his kingdom. Mother, he worships me as if I am the only goddess he knows. Mother, he holds me as if I am fragile but kisses me as if I am stronger than Atlas himself. Mother, his eyes are precious stones I fear they’re worth more than all my flowers Above. Mother, his rare smile shines brighter than Apollo’s sun. Mother, he tells me I am a queen and places a crown of flowers and iron and bones upon my head. Mother, his laughter is water and I am the thirstiest I have ever been. Mother, his touch is golden and I am rich. Mother, his anger shakes our kingdom whole and thrills my very bones. Mother, he tells me rage is natural and takes me to his Fields of Punishment to scream it away. Mother, he’s shown me even the dead can bleed and given me control of justice. Mother, he’s watched me rip limbs from the dead and kissed the blood from my fingers and still found me beautiful. Mother, his skin is ice and I am melting it. Mother, he is a maze and I have lost myself in him.”

Hades and Persephone 

(Reuploading because I’m happier with this background)

“They said that Hades never smiled. They said that the god that ruled all that is beneath the ground had actually forgotten how happiness really felt like, or any emotion whatsoever. And they pitied that “poor, unfortunate girl”, so young and beautiful, who had been forced to stay with a man incapable of giving her the love she deserved. Six months per year. For all eternity.

But these are only lies, Persephone thought, as she opened her eyes, feeling still a little numb from the drowsiness. For they don’t know how warm, gentle and loving is Hades’ smile.”

This is my caption to this illustration (which is the digitally coloured version of my previous post). Since I really liked when @melsisalady22 added her own text to this other little comic of mine, I thought that I’d like to see what would you add to my caption. You can also re-write it completely if you want to (feel free to do it), or even quote someone else’s text/book/post (in this case remember to put the credits please). I’ll choose three of the best written and most inherent captions (so, try not to “twist the mood” of the illustration completely) and I’ll also reward the users who wrote them with a completely free drawing of their own choice.

Last illustration before summer pause. 

“Agesilaos” is one of Hades’ least known epithet, and means something like “He who carries men away” (from ἄγω= “carry, lead” and λαός= “men, people”). I did this a little while ago, althought it would have been more appropriate to publish it during Halloween (??? LOL, whatever).

Have a nice summer, everyone!

Personal project for my last ever semester of art school! Got to finally have my way with drawing these guys for an assignment again haha

Basically finalizing their designs until I was happy with them. It definitely took years of work to get their designs to this point but it was worth the wait. My side of my graduation exhibition is deffo gonna have an embarrassing amount of Hades/Persephone and the Gods Among Men guys ><;;

Thanks for sticking around and enjoy!

My friends jokingly said my portfolio is just going to be an entire book with just these two. Sort of a lighting study by memory, but either way always use references!!!
