This would be probably the most labour intensive piece I've done. I wanted to work with the actual myth of Hades, and not the vilification of him. Which is why the picture, while dark, is not bloody, gory, or in my opinion, overly evil. Because as far as gods went, he wasn't 'evil', simply feared. I changed the horse's head to wearing the Helm of Darkness, so the face is not a skull, just covered with one, which is also where the rams horns attach.
