Illustration Friday: The Seasons.

My very first Illustration Friday submission. This week's topic was "The Seasons."

...

See, it's, uhm... Persephone. And Hades. You remember that legend, right?

So yes, it's on topic. In its own special way.

I couldn't bring myself to take the topic too literally, honestly. Too easy to make it into the cover of a Hallmark card or a coffee mug illustration.

Wish I'd had time to paint this...

I'm gonna do it too, even though I'm not really an artist! I'll post the URL later.

Yes I remember Persephone and Hades! And that's close enough to fit the theme.

Great drawing....I don't see much of those on IF. And the point you made about easily turning it into a cover of a Hallmark card......so true! For that reason alone, I was thinking to bow out of this week. Thanks for pointing the link to ArtRage in the previous post.

Your Persephone is totally hot. Look at those gams!

Maybe I'll do something for IF. I doubt I'll have time this week, but maybe next week.

I love his big mask face, and the way she's sitting on him, which is extremely suggestive. In a good way. Are you going to give her a pomegranate? Pomegranates are REALLY fun to draw.

AWESOME drawing! And it totally applies. How would there be fall and winter without Persephone and Hades?
Brilliant take and, as has already been said, very refreshing after the kitchen-craft takes.
