A drawing from my sketchbook that ended up too good not to throw some ink and colours into. :D

It's Hades at a cemetery (I've used the cemetery of ancient Athens for a model. If I haven't missunderstood anything, such cylindrical gravestones were common for the less wealthy people), feeding a dead with roots of asphodel.

I don't know why he's doing it, though. Maybe it's a poor lost soul who hasn't found its way to the Underworld and Hades has come to take it with him? But strictly speaking, that's Hermes' job, so I really don't know what he's doing there.

Daily Deviation

Given 2011-02-18
At the Cemetery by *A-gnosis Recommended by `arete-eirene-phile, she says to "be sure to read her comics, which are well worth your time, especially if you're a mythology buff." The characters she draws are included in her amazing comics. A good read that holds the reader's interest to the point where the reader cannot wait for the next comic panel to be posted. If you're a "Day of the Dead Fan", but sure to link on Underworld Funniness as it is Hades and Persephone dressed as characters for "Day of the Dead" as celebrated in Mexico. DO check out the gallery. You won't be disappointed. ( Suggested by `AreteEirene and Featured by `WDWParksGal )

You know, I really love your version of the ancient greek gods! They seem so.. alive in your comics. Your knowledge is stunning, too.
This picture of Hades was the first one of your drawings I saw and I couldn't stop but checking out your gallery immediately :). That was more than a year ago when I hadn't been a deviantArt member yet and I still love your art so much ♥

Thank you very much! It makes me happy that you like my art and my versions of the Greek gods. :heart: I'm trying to depict them a bit like real people, without taking away too much of the magic.

I'm really glad that you like this particular piece, too, because it's still one of those that I'm most pleased with. :)
