Peresephone - Blog Posts

@suzie-guru These are good drawings and I get your thought process while making these. It also makes sense if you look at the “Once Upon a Time” series where Hades actually had a thing for Zalina (AKA the wicked witch of the west).

All that said, I’m sorry to say I’m not a fan of the color palette (especially when she is in the pink chiton). I know you did this to have her look more like Demeter and that’s fine. It’s just my opinion and these are still good drawings.

I can agree that the Persephone in the movie does not look like somebody Hades would be smitten with and vice versa. She looks too frilly, dolled up, and not like the hippie/emo I would expect Persephone to be.

my personal favorite is this one. https://mad--munchkin.deviantart.com/art/Ride-into-Darkness-Hope-Springs-Eternal-277667810

My second favorite is my own I made that is basically a mixture of movie Persephone and Quantum’s Persephone. https://envytheskunk.deviantart.com/art/My-Version-of-Disney-Persephone-613692479 (I have one I didn’t use a base for I swear. I just wanted to show the one that had the more Disney look. I only use this for reference now.)

I had forgotten how much I loved my own take on Persephone for Disney’s Hercules!  I made her coloring similar to their design for Demeter, since mythology states that they looked so similar they were almost duplicates. Again, I have NOTHING against Disney’s original take on Persephone: 

I just wanted to do my own thing and, for the interest of shipping, I really can’t see this version making a serious go of it with Hades. Different strokes for different folks, you do you, as always. 

So, there you have it! I imagine Persephone to be the cooler one between her and her hot-headed hubby, but plenty spirited and full of sass and snark to hold her own with Hades. Yes, that’s a pomegranate she’s holding =)
