New piece in the Myth series, this time with Hades, God of the Underworld.

The three-headed dog behind him es Cerberus, the guardian dog of the Hades, and the woman is Persephone, the daughter of her sister Demeter raped by him and obligued to stay all autumns and winters with him because she ate the pomegranate. The river with the black things is the Acheron where Caronte, the boatman, brings the souls to Hades where his three judges decides to which place the soul may go.

Work made in Photoshop CS2, photomanipulation + painting and some other mixed stuff.

Part of the images from sxc.hu, model for Persephone: *Onnagata-stock, the rest are personal resources.

I like the Hades and Cerberus, but I think Persephone should be less gloomy like, you know... less dark or something. but this is AWESOME!

Excelente trabajo, me necanta el matiz oscuro y triste que le has dado, la verdad ya cansaba un poco ver a Hades rodeado de fuego y toda esa parafernalia infernal propia del cristianismo que te puedes encontrar por ahi.
Has sabido plasmar en un cuadro la esencia de un dios, mis felicitaciones.:D

Muchas gracias! La verdad es que nunca entendí a Hades como una versión del Satán cristiano, de hecho las connotaciones simbólicas y psicológicas están bien claras y de hecho Hades nunca fue un personaje maléfico, si no severo, pero ya se sabe, a la gente le encantan las metonimias...
