The legend of Kore

In the Greek mythology Kore (the young maiden) was the juvenile aspect of Persephone, the bright side of the goddess, a goddess of spring. Kore was the parthenogenetic daughter of Demeter.
One day Kore was abducted by Hades to become his wife Persephone (destroyer of light), the queen of the underworld.
These are my drawings of the the innocent Kore and the hand of Hades rising from the ground to take her to the underworld

Ancient Mars

AncientMars00370
This is my oil painting of the ancient Mars, a planet like our Earth, a planet with an ocean in the northern hemisphere and a continent covered with vegetation in the southern hemisphere. By that time there was life on Mars and maybe a Martian civilization and  they’ve built the pyramids in the Cydonia region and some pyramids on Earth.
Dezastru
Something destroyed life on Mars and I thing that something was an object made of strange quark matter or an object with a relativistic speed, an object with a strong gravitational field that hit the planet creating the Hellas Platina and the  Tharsis Montes.

Her voice made me fall in love 7 years ago

SayGoodbyeSong
7 years ago I listened to the song “William Hawk – Say goodbye” and the female voice really made me fall in love. Her voice is so sweet, so warm. Here is a painting I’ve made then(left) and a drawing I’ve made today(right), both representing her, the way I imagined her, young, beautiful, with long dark hair and white smooth skin, looking at me with her big eyes and telling me not to leave her.

I could not find out who she is but these is the way I see her with my mental eyes when I listen to that song.

Corot-7b landscape

Corot-7b is the first planet orbiting the star Corot-7, a yellow dwarf star in the Monoceros(Unicorn) constellation. The distance between the planet and the the Corot 7 star is 2,500000 km. Like our moon Corot-7b has no rotation movement, exposing to the star the same face. On the surface exposed to the star there is an ocean of lava where the temperatures reach 2400ºC while the other face of the planet is frozen with temperatures that can reach -200ºC. The high temperatures of the lava ocean make the rocks volatilize and then when they reach the cold areas in the upper atmosphere become solid again and fall back in the hot ocean as a stones rain.

This is the way I imagine a place on the borderline area between the hot lava ocean and the dark and cold side of the planet.
