08: The three queens from The Good Counselor
The Good Counselor is the upcoming sequel to Receiver of Many and Destroyer of Light by @therkalexander. The series is an erotic retelling of the myths surrounding Hades and Persephone, and this third part deals with the myths of Orpheus and Zagreus. The author has a vast knowledge not just of the Greek myths, but also the ancient Greek culture, and her books are overall very well written (they definitely are 18+, though). Here you can read a free preview.
Here I have tried to illustrate Persephone’s awkward first meeting with Hera and Amphitrite. It was fun but also a bit of a challenge, since I only had a few descriptions of the characters to work with (in contrast to characters in a film or a comic). ^^
