My take on the BetterWaifu Reference Challenge by @a_casual_prompter

I bent the rules a little with this one. These are not intended as one-to-one recreations. I kept recognizable poses, compositions, colors and visual ideas from the original artworks, then added my own style, mythological characters and the usual BW level of questionable restraint. 😏🖤
