So, let me explain.

As every queen, she has to have a... crown. Well, sort of. I didn't want any "regular" deity/royal stuff. Therefor, she has that weird crown, that's, I believe, more of a burden to her. Who wants to be a queen of Underworld after all?

Pomegranate- non existent. Instead of a mentioned fruit, I created its symbolic presence with the red colored brooch and necklace ornaments, semi-present red mist and some minor red elements on her "crown".

Other than that, it's my personal vision of Persephone, beautiful yet dark young woman, the queen of Underworld, the wife of Hades.

Technical stuff-

It took me around 30 hours to make it (during last 2 weeks).
Tools: Started in Corel Painter, finished in Photoshop, fully painted with wacom volito (lol yeah I have the oldest ever one <3 ) tablet. No reference. Size is 21x32.5 in (53x83 cm), 180 dpi (since my PC couldn't support anything higher than that)

Wanna get idea of how big it actually is? Check this detail: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8402/persephoneoriginalsizecvv2.jpg
