ATC - Hades and Persephone

An ATC swap based around Hades and Persephone.

Hades, god of the Underworld, fell in love with Persephone and wanted her as his bride. His brother Zeus consented to the marriage—or at least refused to oppose it. Yet he warned Hades that Demeter would never approve this coupling, for she would not want her daughter spirited off to a sunless world. At Zeus's suggestion—or with his tacit understanding—Hades resolved to abduct the maiden.

Persephone was gathering flowers one day on a plain in Sicily. Hades suddenly appeared, thundering across the plain in his four-horse chariot. The god swooped down upon Persephone, scooped her up with one arm, and literally and figuratively deflowered her—leaving the plain scattered with blossoms of every color.

The appearance, abduction, and disappearance happened so swiftly that none of Persephone's companions witnessed the kidnapping. And though she called out to them—and plaintively called for her mother—no one heard her pleas. The earth opened up before Hades' chariot and the god drove the jet-black horses down into the chasm. As Hades and Persephone disappeared into the depths, the hole closed up behind them.

You'll have 1 partner that you'll send 1 ATC to.

(You can make either Hades or Persephone on one ATC, split them up into two atcs OR just pick either Hades or Persephone to draw. You're NOT required to make both of them if you do not want to. Just pick one if you can't squeeze both on a card, or two if you want a set.)

Make sure your cards are the standard 3.5x2.5 inches, and try to put your best effort into the cards you send!

You can either draw, collage, paint, mixed media, even prints of your original artwork (Includes digital collages, but please put effort into it.) and even stitch your cards. Anything goes but please don't slap a sticker on it and call it an ATC.

No unrated swappers please.
