Description
Concerning the legs that are too long, and the feet that just don't look right - I'm not experienced in drawing lions... manticores.. xDI was wondering whether to give it scorpion claws for the front legs, but I think in the end I preffered it being more of a lion. Would have been easier to draw mind you..
I'm really happy with the mane. Moving the overall ability to shoot spikes out of it's tail, to being able to shoot them out of it's neck.
Overall I'm pleased with the outcomes ( sounds like I'm annotating my Art coursework.. )
Atleast I don't need to worry about the colours getting mixed about, hooray for pencil drawings!

Woah! The details in the face are amazing! My fav part though has to be the tail - it looks so realistic

Very nicely done Ms Tabon.

But its good as it is

Yeahh, but Manticores have the face of a human, hence I gave it human ears xD and call me 'Sol'/ 'Solait'
Thankyou!

Thankyou!

Thankyou, fine pencil work is easy to do when you have a stupidly sharp pencil xD

i love stupidly sharp pencils lol only problem is i always stab myself with them XD

xD my problem is breaking them as I put them to the paper.

Awesome as always. I think the tail is set a bit too low.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Aye, it's supposed to bend back up towards the spine, but with the arse fluff it's a bit hard to see/ I missjudged distance. Either one xD

I love it, excellent shading, very detailed

Yeah, none of the paws look right in my opinion, as I said in the artist comments. xD

Really amazing O___O I like the mane and the spikes on it, and the texture of fur is well done as well *still couldn't figure out how to shade fur X__X* The shading, lighting, they are all good, and I especially like the shading and lighting of the tail. Can't really see if the legs are too long or not, but generally it is good

Thankyou xD Looks better on paper. But doesn't everything before you scan it? xD Actually this scanner's not that bad

O___o I believe it would be breath-taking if I could see it on paper xD
Yeah, your scanner is still okay xD At least everything looks fine to me so far
