Description
The manticore - a lion monster with a human head and scorpion tail. Depending on the source he sometimes has horns and sometimes has wings. I decided to combine the two into some weird insectoid limbs.When in doubt, draw monsters.

I love how this came out. The texture, the details and all, is just quite epic! Just like this mythological creature ^^

Haha wise words and I love it!Β
It also makes me think of this scene:Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=-unV0mβ¦

haha. Yeah. I see that you follow a similar mantra.
That reminds me. I haven't watched that show in ages.

Hahaha. Aww yiss! *high five*Β
And check out the newwer episodes if you can - they're pretty sweet

I will definitely take that under advisement. I really enjoy aspects of that show. The art in it is pretty amazing. But sometimes the singing annoys me so much that I have to turn it off. I hate auto-tuning.

Ah, yea the auto-tuning is a bit weird.Β
One of the episodes that is my favourite unfortunately has 5 minutes of auto-tune in it - but for me it is still bearable.
Thankfully, Marceline's voice is actually legit! She's a really good singer 
But yea, show and designs are really cool - I think people who haven't sat down for a full episode may underestimate this because of the style and colours.Β

Urgh. That might be the episode where I swore off Adventure Time. haha. I remember one episode with Marceline was almost entirely auto-tuning.
Haha. Yeah. I think anyone that says the visuals in that show aren't pretty amazing really isn't paying attention. The detail that goes into the backgrounds is above and beyond.

Oh shit really? I always thought only Finn fell victim to the autotuned madness.Β
Yea, the designs are sick as well. Overall a really good show (albeit with one or two odd episodes that miss the mark a bit).

Oh no. Luckily Marceline didn't have the auto-tuning. Just Finn. But there was a lot of dueting.
My favorite episode actually has barely anything to do with the main characters. It was the one with the snowman taking care of that fire wolf. I really like that one.

Aww man yea! That's such a great episode!Β
You sir, have good taste (Y)

Yeah it was. The snowman character was very sweet. I would at least watch a mini-series with that character.

Oh yes. I would too!
Have you ever watched Over the Garden Wall? You might like it

I have not! That looks really interesting though. I'll definitely do that. The wife and I really like The Misadventures of Flapjack, and it appears to be the same writer.

It's a bit more toned down from FlapJack, but not at the same time.Β
Hopefully you two will enjoy it too
The episodes are 10 minutes long so it's nice and short and perfect for in between breaks.

Finally got around to watching the show. It was super awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.
We got super hooked, and ended up watching pretty much the whole show in one sitting, so no "between breaks".Β

Haha so hardcore! Β
But I'm so glad that you guys enjoyed it
I found it to be a very beautiful show.Β

Ha! That's how I roll...
Definitely enjoyed it! Thanks again for the suggestion.

"When in doubt, draw monsters." Β Good thing I'm already married, cause I would find you present you a rose had I read this otherwise.
The insectoid appendages work really well! Β This guy is badass. Β I used a recurring manticore back when I was trying to be a competent DM.

haha. I think that Anna would have a thing or two to say about that as well.
Oh good! Β I'm glad the insect horn things work. I really didn't want to draw bat wings. haha.

Love it! Β You don't see a lot of manticore art out there, and this is splendid!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! Yeah. I really like the manticore. It's creepy, but also a bit ridiculous.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha, ha! Β Definitely. Β I've always wanted to see it in a movie or something--they say it can move like a deer, but it's huge. Β That'd be interesting to see.Β
