Chthonic Descent

I had two goals with this image: one was to offer an enchanting new world of subterranean magic and mystery to evoke wonder, and two, to illustrate key elements and characters of the Underworld for educational purposes. I chose to mix cool and warm colors to create a magical color pallet, and I had a lot of fun designing the curving shapes of spirits and river leading the eye from the foreground into the background.

Moving through the dark entrance I make my way down, down, ever down, along ancient stair steps and cold cave walls. The shades of dead mortals stir below; mothers, husbands, heroes, and unmarred youth stir and sway towards the lower lake. There the river Styx connects, where the boatman Charon ferries souls across, and further on the three-headed hound Cerberus guards the entrance from trespassers. Perhaps my lyre can lull the beast to sleep. And beyond lies my goal, the throne chamber of Lord Hades and Queen Persephone, the only deities with the power to return my sweet Eurydice to me.
