The statues in front of the Grand Theatre
Yes, I'm really busy, but something hit me, and I wanted to draw one of my very old ideas for pictures, and here's number 260: The human couple, and the lion couple that stands in front of the Grand Theater Opera House in Poznań.

Poznań has this opera house, which is called "The Grand Theatre" (seems like our city loves to give inaccurate names to things), and its facade has something that always caught my eye, namely 2 statues atop the stairs leading into the opera house. One represents a woman riding on top of a male lion, and the other depicts a man next to a panther.
The woman represents lyric poetry.
The man represents drama.
I had a crazy idea of drawing some sort of Transformation sequence with them, but all that was way too ambitious to draw, so I just decided to sketch the statues based on a photo that I took myself in 2014, during my internship at the advertisement agency (as the opera house was on my way to the agency).
And........... yeah, I think it looks like crap.

PS: The Grand Theatre was designed by a German architect called Max Littmann... that makes it automatically thrice as cool in my book!
