Pygmalion's Statue

BEST SEEN IN FULL VEIW

--

This is supposed to depict a scene from a famous ancient Greek story about Pygmalion. Pygmalion was a King who seemed to have no interest in women or love, but incidentally was famous for his beautiful sculptures of them. He created a statue he named Galatea; it was so beautiful that he fell in love with it and begun treating it like a person. Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love, took pity on him and turned the statue into a real woman.

Not sure whether I like it, seemed like a good idea at the time but I don't think I've done the idea justice; I could've been more creative. Nevertheless, it was fun fiddling around with her dress so it appears to be stone changing to flesh.
