Artist's Comments

Another motif taken from Greek mythology: the hellhound, Cerberus, standing guard by the entrance to Hades' kingdom. The red in the lower left corner is a bit of the river of woe, Acheron. I don't think it's actually supposed to be made of blood, but hey, red fit my colour scheme. :)

July 27 - Update: I just realized now that I've actually got a DD for this one. Whee! Thank you all so much for the comments. You made my day. :)

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-07-25

Cerberus has always been one of my favorite mythology characters and this one that dwells On the Other Side, by ~tjernstrom, is nicely done. I like how it's done with a predominately white background giving the cave more light. I think it only makes the three headed beast even more frightening as it glares down at you.

Cerberus... i love him so :nod: I really like the flames and the fact that you gave him a serpentine tail. A lot of people leave that off for some reason...

it's always good in Hades.
