Figured I should repost the fanart I did for Receiver of Many, since I switched tumblr handles over the years. I did these in 2015-2016 (wow, time flies), so here’s part 1. A bunch of Persephone and Aidoneus illustrations and facial concepts!
Receiver of Many is a retelling of the Persephone/Hades greek myth. It’s one of my favorite books. @therkalexander is now working on the sequel, The Good Counselor, so head over there if you’re interested!

Part 2 of the Receiver of Many fanart that I did in 2015-2016. Sketches/speedpaints all around!
see now I want an awkward someone walking in on zeus and hera scene lol
Considering he sentenced Prometheus to have his liver eternally eaten only regrow back for the trespass of taking fire and giving it to mankind, I doubt anyone who values their everloving gonads is going to be doing that.

And all my Receiver of Many fanart culminates in part 3, in which Rachel so generously allowed me to create a short illustrated book based off her work. Here are a few pieces that were inside!
It’s called The Sixth Equinox, and it’s a short story of Persephone and Aidoneus’ longing for each other as they’re forced to stay apart. During this time both threaten to upend the fragile peace they made with the gods of Olympus just to be together again, and the story illustrates their temptations.
I wanted the words to link the texts and images together, where Aidon ends his part of the poem, Persephone begins hers. It was my way of showing that even though they are physically apart, they’re still together.
(doomed love and mutual pining is 100% my thing gah I love RoM so much)
Honestly I loved the process of making this book. It was this project that planted the seed in my approach to art. I wanted to express the psychology of their pain in a visual form, and that persists in my work today.
Persephone Remembering (the landscape piece you see up there) got selected for Spectrum 24, and I was lucky to have fans who found my work through here and stayed with me even when I started doing other work.
All of which wouldn’t have been possible if not for Receiver of Many and @therkalexander. I’m grateful to have you all.
also you can find The Sixth Equinox on Amazon thx so much ilu byeeee
