#goddess of spring
look all i’m saying is that if i found a guy with a stable job, a nice house, and a big dog, i, too, would eat the pomegranate seeds
I hate that I dont post my art anymore. I do it. Say yay and then tuck it away in a folder. I will say though I am not huge on coloring or doing much digital anymore. But I am currently in Greece soaking up inspiration to finish my novel, and as I was writing a chapter today, this image of Persephone came to me and wouldn’t leave me alone. If I color it, it’ll be with paints when I get back to the states.
So happy autumn!!! Persephone is returning back to Hades. If anyone would like to color this, please be my guest!! I would love to see it!
Girl, you ain’t the only one. Need to get back to our OTP, asap
Warm-up with modernAU Persephone
Maybe I’ll do a series of drawings titled “Persephone sitting while making a smug face”
I love her style
A warm-up sketch of Kore
Forgot to post this here. Lady Persephone
“But in your sacred air I am full of light
Your loving arms are the true delight
To which I’m lost”
“Persephone Goddess of Spring/Queen of the Underworld” Again I went with the classic description of her. I gave her a flower crown that has Narcissus flowers in it since there are associated with her at Hades. Her dress is a little bit fancier than Hestia’s. Since Persephone is a big fluffy girl her dress kind of shows that. I have her holding a pomegranate since that is the most recognizable symbol for her to hold. Her dress will be light blue. Xoxo!

I have been OBSESSED with the story of Hades and Persephone (thanks to Lore Olympus), and I’ve been reading all different types of adaptations. This is one of the series that I think really tells the story well and it’s an AMAZING adaptation.

Hades:…Excuse me?
Persephone: We’re worried for you, Hades.
Hades: Why? I’m fine!
Hecate: You haven’t slept in two weeks.
Poseidon: You literally dropped your mug today and said “mood” when it broke.
Persephone: You look sad :(
Hades: Guys, I’m fine. I occasionally commit self care.

Eros: Like this shirt, this jacket, these pants, oh hi Hades, these shirts, this skirt, oh look at this pretty dress!
Persephone: I know you hate me, Hades, but-
Hades: Wait, what? You think I hate you?
Persephone: You always clam up when I enter the room, and you’re always watching me, and you never want to hang out with me, and you get all tense whenever I walk close to you, and you won’t talk to me in full sentences and-oh, yep, I hear it now, oh my god, you have a crush on me?!
