It's been the longest winter
without you


This is Cozmiah, for :iconcricketwings: 's contest.
So I decided to draw Cozmiah as Persephone from greek mythology. Except, I didn't really know how to turn Coz INTO her. So I didn't XD

For those who don't know: Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus and was abducted by Hades. Demeter was devestated and Zeus forced Hades to return Persephone, except.. he tricked her into eating pomgranate seeds. If you eat anything in the underworld, you HAVE to go back again. So Persephone spend half of the year with Demeter, bringing spring and summer to earth, and half a year with Hades, which means it's autumn and winter here.

Anyway, it's Cozmiah returning from the underworld, thus bringing spring with her. I'm sorry this entry is so crappy, I had no idea how to turn her into Persephone because I can't draw humans XD

Aim for nothing, and you will hit it EVERY time.

dream BIG, work hard, aim as high as the moon, cause even if you miss, you will land among the stars.

dont give up ever, and dont be afraid.

Wooowww, this is beautiful! I think you have portrayed persephone very nicely, definately difficult methinks :aww: You art has improved a lot recently whirl, the background is stunning, I love those blossom trees :heart: Also Cozmiah looks so pretty in your style ^_^ the leaf coming from her horn is such a good idea :la: Also the crack and apple add a very nice effect :D

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.

Amazing avatar done by *Diikae :D

Wow, i think this could be one of your best! :D
It's a really good way of portraying Persephone - very creative :XD:
The one teeny tiny detail that bugs me a little is the clouds by Cozmiah's head...they kind of get cut off...y'know what i mean? haha :giggle:
Apart from that tiny thing, it's amaazing!

Such lovely and detailed work here, such a fascinating scene. I love the leafy horn, that expression and the way you drew the 'rope'. Well done on that crack in the ground! I also love the pink trees :aww:
