Yeah right.


When people draw mythical beasts, they usually never remember the manticore, dragons and others take all the attention.
That is why I wanted to draw a manticore.

I think I did kinda well with the shading of the fur-collar.
His/its mouth is supposed to be that wide, in case you were wondering.

Reuploaded, edited the face.

Freaky face

Laudie Says:

Very cool :)

Kstreet Says:

The hair/mane are amazing. It looks like a modern day sphinx.

This makes me smile inside

Robber Baron Says:

I think you messed up on the face.

Yoake Ryuhi Says:

His mane is nicely textured and shaded.

His front paws kinda bother me though. It seems to go right from the arm to the paws. I can't really see a spot where a wrist joint will occur. Even though they're straight out on flat ground I should be able to tell where it would bend if he were standing on his paws. I think the main problem is you need to tapper down to the wrist slightly then make those monster paws. It wouldn't be as noticeable and drastic as a human but it would at least show some definition on muscle and skeletal structure.
