Description First monster encounter in June; the Manticore.

I took the idea and twisted it a bit but the Lion and arrows/darts part is kept =]

any way excellent job

scificat [2008-06-10 22:59:21 +0000 UTC]

Do you actually draw the fur by hand, cause if that is the case, that's just mind blowing. I also find crazy how you put texture to stuff as small as the claws. My deepest admiration for your work.

AyaneShinobi [2008-06-10 22:58:16 +0000 UTC]

Wow...that's one hell of a scary fiend you've drawn. If I saw that thing walking around, I'd probably die of fright. I love the way you drew the fur, especially on the wings. It makes me want to touch it...if the monster weren't so damned frightening! :-p

... I would have bought a color print of this in an instant at Fanime. It reminds me very much of Grendel, and a strange menagerie of half a dozen other things.

It's detailed, it's crude, it's powerful, and it's epic all at once.

amazing work, how did you do the fur? are they individual strokes, or is it a pattern? or a combination of both?
