Hellhound puppy (2024)Oil painting
by Yue Zeng

I guess since human being domesticated dog 30,000 years ago, its figure influnced our story content through the history. No matter the variations of different type of hellhounds, it is always black and it may have multiple heads. However, the idea for this painting is that even the hellhound is scary or ferocious, it was born as a puppy once upon a time. Back then it was small, playful and maybe vulnerable, just like all dogs. In Greek myth, Cerberus is the pet of Hades, the king of the underworld. So, I want to show what the hellhound would look like when it was a pet puppy.

Although I tried my best to match the digital image the same as actual painting but the color may vary due to different monitor and monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact.
Hope you enjoy this one. :D
