I am keeping this blog as a personal gimmick to remind myself how far I've come, and how far I have yet to go.

Persephone
My final piece, project 9. It's Persephone, the Greek maiden who was trapped underground by Pluto (who loved her, thanks to Cupid). Her mother, goddess of the earth and harvest, grieved for her loss and the world began to wither away. Eventually a deal was worked out: Persephone had eaten 6 seeds of a pomegranate in Hades, so each year she would spend 6 months underground with Pluto (winter) and 6 months aboveground with her mother (summer). This is also my first-ever attempt at anything involving digital media or Photoshop, and although it is not perfect I am still very proud. I also intended to do a complimentary piece starring Pluto, but ran out of time. I'll probably still do it eventually, and wind up posting it here.
