I'm continuing with a kind of follow-up to the previous comic.
For the backstory, I initially thought about Hades' design, assuming that most people probably associated Hades with death, so I went for a "reaper" version of the myth. However, I later realized that a lot of people distinguish between Hades and Thanatos. So now, I like to think that Hades just takes on that appearance to welcome souls into the underworld and immerse them directly in the ambiance of the afterlife. :D
But that raises the question: What does Hades really look like? I already have a design in mind, but honestly, I wonder if I should just keep the enigmatic aspect, something no one will ever see (except Persephone, of course).
