Description Another illustration from my Hades and Persephone storybook. Hades is depressed because his efforts to woo Persephone have perhaps not gone as smoothly as he'd hoped, but you get that when you kidnap your sweetheart and hold them prisoner without any hope of escape.

I'm still debating whether it'll be feasable. I guess at the least I'll be able to offer it as a downloadable .pdf or something similar once it's done. I'm still stressing a little over it at the moment!

Aww shucks I do love my limited colour palettes, I love being able to play with the strengths and feelings of colours limiting myself to the use of only a couple. It works super well for the story.
