My own version of Hades & Persephone. In the picture I portrayed they both, with Cerberus. At the left we can see Charon in his boat and the river Acheron, and in the other side the river Phlegethon, made of fire.

There's a step by step of this one here.
And some details of the picture are available here, here and here.

I want to say thank you for all your support and your comments :). I'm very sorry I'm not able to answer all your messages, I just can't find time enough, but I'm very grateful to receive them and I will try to answer whenever I can. Thanks a lot!!

Wow . . . I really love this. When I opened it up, I suddenly realized that I had visited this very piece about three years ago.
Not unbelievable, but I suddenly remember just what I was thinking when I saw this back then, and now realize how young I was. Still, this is beautiful!

Cool only hades had a black beard and was 38 years old, not a 29 year old boy! Other than that its good. Persperone is so pretty.

:-) Cris Ortega replies: "lol, how can be you so sure if greeks avoided to give any kind of details of him? I do think that gods should be ageless, that’s why I said this is a very own version =). Thanks!"

Oooo, this is amazing! I’m a big fan of Greek mythology and this is closer to how I pictured them. 2 You did a stellar job on the detail, it’s beautiful!

Hades looks amazing! And Persephone looks beautiful.

Hades is handsomely depicted and Persephone is like an embodiment of seduction. I absolutely love this!
