- Title: Persephone [Re-entry]
- Artist: Mirastella
- Description: Being held captive in the Underworld, Persephone got tricked into eating the pomegranate seeds by Hades. Hermes arrived later to fetch her back to Olympus to be reunited with her mother Demeter, only to find out that eating anything from the Underworld would mean that she was bound to it forever. Zeus reached a compromise: for every seed Persephone had eaten she would stay for that many months with Hades, the rest she will re-emerge to the land of the living to be with her mother again, which..

- I was trying something completely different (ie. art nouveau-ish xD wink than the usual flower maiden that I forgot about capturing the real essence of her afterwords. When I think about it, you're right about the hair being wild, the flowers still being a key point that separates her from Demeter, and of course, her attire that looked more of her mother. So I might tweak her dress to more of a youthful look. I'd really appreciated the advice~! Thanks.

- Oh, Persephone! I love that story. Truthfully, you should have made the background to look like the underworld, like a domain of Hades rather than night. She is supposed to be maidenly, and the hair is rather nice. Not bound up, wild is the way. You're missing the main thing though - flowers. Rather than the wreath, a flower would have been better at her hair, and perhaps a more "maidenly" dress, since she seems more like Demeter at the moment and she's the maiden aspect of that goddess.

- This really should be in the cosplay arena because she isn't your original character, even if it is your design. Other than that it's very nice. ^_^
