First Gate of the Southern Oracle

The Neverending Story has been a favorite of mine since i can remember. Parts of it scared me as a kid, and still have an effect on me to this day. I always loved the First Gate, and ive always wanted to make my own version of it, but i could not find the right statue. I always wanted to use something almost exact. I think the lions work perfectly.
