I supposse we could say this is like a twisted version of the Frog Prince tale, or something like that . I have the sketch of this one done since last year, but couldn't work on it because of the lack of time. So when I was able to work on it again, I spent most time than usual, trying to have all the fun possible . Personal project, done in Photoshop. ]]> Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:17:11 +0000 http://dark-spider.cgsociety.org/gallery/728674

My own version of Hades & Persephone. In the picture I portrayed they both, with Cerberus. At the left we can see Charon in his boat and the river Acheron, and in the other side the river Phlegethon, made of fire. Done in Photoshop from scratch, around 250-300 hours.

I did a step of step of this one, available here: http://crisortega.com/english/hyd-tutorial01.htm
