Description
Done late at Night-most of my illustrations are-, this one features my favorite characters in Greek mythology, Hades the God of the Underworld and his queen Persephone(originally called Prosperina before her abduction).Sure, kidnapping someone to be your queen isn't terribly nice...but when one thinks about it, both were the few gods and godesses to be actually true to one another.Related content

I really like it, but actually Proserpina was the Roman name for Persephone, as Pluto was the Roman name for Haides/Aidoneus. In Greek, before her capture she was known as Kora or Kore (maiden, girl)

If you mean the description, I guess so. But the title looks fine to me. I really like how he's wrapped around her dress, by the bye. He (Hades in this drawing) actually reminds me a lot of Jareth in Labyrinth, which is a very Hades and Persephone based story.

well it looks like Hades snatched Persephone up with his tentacles like an octopus catching its dinner

Classical and beautiful! You have a very unique style which reminds me of the manga series X 9I can't remember the artist). Tapering, elegant, flowing. I really like this picture

Whoops, I meant to write 'the manga series 'X' (I can't remember the artist). I don't know how that '9' snuck in there. Stupid keyboard.

Awww.... although...
I'll take what you said about Vlad and Elizabitha (i hope that was her name. If not, I apologize for slaughtering it.)
"I did not take her, she CAME to me."
XD I love Hades and Persephone. They're absolutely wonderful.
And you know of Vlad the impaler? The original dracula? I LOVE YOU!!!

Very nice. This is one of my favourite stories from greek mythology too and I've worked with the Hades archetype in my fiction and prose. Yes, they do have the most faithful relationships amongst all the pairings in the greek pantheon.
