Oooh... a mermaid in the river Styx? I never thought of such a thing. But I could definitely see her eyeing hungrilly those who crossed over with Charon. - Although I like all the red, fiery, lava-like appearances, I don't think the Greeks believed in Hell, nor the Romans. The Underworld was a cold, lifeless, desolate place, so I would imagine moreso swampy waters, not the usual fire and brimstone idea. But it's all open to interpretation, which is the wonderful thing about history, mythology, and artwork. Very nice stuff here - my favorite part is her face.

Wow very scary but what are those things, balls floating around her. For a sec i thought they were heads. There not are they? Well anyways love this pick and even though i dont know what the place is that shes at i love it.

I have to disagree with Natalie. Though she may be right about all the history stuff. I really like the whole lava look, but again unlike her I don't like the face. I mean I do, but it's just that the body and background look so real and the face just has a total different look. Which is of course a matter of taste so don't be offended. But over all it's awesome. Keep up the good work.

I LOVE IT! Yay for freakish mermaids! Which reminds me, I haven't officially responded to the comment yet (alas, I'm WAAAAAY behind on my replies), but I'd be HONORED if you wanted to take Zaretva on as a project. You seemed interested, so I thought I should offer it to you. 12 You rock, my dear!

Nice pic. Natalia, the Greeks and the Romans both believed in an eternal hell. The Romans called it Tartaros. I believe Christianity borrowed this pagan belief.

Great pic. I love how the face looks it looks like she’s gonna come kill you or somthing

the Greeks or the romans are more likely to have copied the concept of Hell from the Christians. If you remember correctly the Jews believed in hell long before the greeks or the romans were around and Judaism is the roots of the Christian faith.
Just thought I’d clear that up a little

Anyways wonderfull pic.1
