oh wow! that looks totally rad! is she a model or a sculpture come to life?

Not familiar with the myth? Lonely artist creates a statue of his ideal woman and one night while he's despairing over his solitude she comes to life. Sexy, huh?

oh that one...I am familiar but wasn't sure of the names. Good one. Now if I can just bring THE HUNTRESS to life ;-P

One of my favorite details. I think it's intended to be the two-faced god Janus.

Well, perhaps they're upset that the sculptor gets to make love to his statue rather than letting his two-headed bust have the fun. ; )

Plausible.
