Persephone - Returns
"While gathering flowers in a field one day, Persephone was abducted to the Underworld by Hades, who arose in his chariot from a fissure in the ground. Demeter, goddess of the harvest, was heartbroken, and while she wandered the length and breadth of the earth in search of her daughter, the crops withered and it became perpetual winter. At length Hades was persuaded to surrender Persephone for one half of every year, the spring and summer seasons when flowers bloom and the earth bears fruit once more. The half year that Persephone spends in the Underworld as Hades' queen coincides with the barren season."

Your drawings look like such gentlemen. I could see a top-hat on either of the mantis or the squid. Tally-ho!

I'm very curious to see that new set. You must be one of the most beautiful women on the entire site and I love seeing pictures of you and your illustrations.
