Artist's Comment

I created this image in order to practice painting drapery, which I view as a challenge. Greek Mythology inspires me heavily as well, so I wanted to show that with this image. Persephone's story mainly evolves her abduction from the Earth realm, to the Underworld, courtesy of Hades. This image deals with that concept (albeit a bit subtly). The figure's pose was referenced from Lockstock as well, who has some great fantasy themed stock photography.

A very lengthy tutorial on how this image was created will be available in June of next month's Advanced Photoshop Magazine as well, so be sure to check that out.

I really liked it, especially the belt:D
The ground is also very nice, I think, and the light.

this is excellent art, but something's not right with the light spot to the left (her left) of her lips.

Otherwise, I think this would deserve a 5.
