Free associating as I was driving around this morning and Momento Mori came to mind, and this image. It turned out to be a fun day project and a great way to practice my stippling.

Thought it’d be fun to redraw an old thing I never finished with a color palette I haven’t used before. It’s crazy to think that the difference between these two pieces is just 10 months(!!!!).

I based the map of the Asphodel Fields on Tiresias’s account of it to Odysseus. The rest of the Underworld was filled in by my imagination, most notably the details about Tartarus.

Queen of the Dead 098
I thought it would be fun to reintroduce Hekate in the story (since we haven’t seen her since page 8) by citing a curse tablet where she is mentioned. This spell is not from a curse tablet, though, but from a papyrus found in Egypt (I believe). However, I felt it wasn’t so very different from the texts on curse tablets and it gave such a nice presentation of Hekate as lady of the restless dead.
