Description
Although I find the winged manticore design very cool, manticore are often portrayed without wings in ancient representations, so I decided to replace them by a pair of huge pincers.Related content

Ah I don't think that will be possible, since there never was lineart on this one, that means I would have to totally redraw it ^^.

Probably the most imaginative manticore I've seen!

My first encounter with manticore was in Heroes of Might and Magic 3, so I thought they must have lion heads but learned much later they are supposed to have human-featured face, which makes them much more scary I think.
Haven't heard about wingless before. Those pincers are certainly great idea.

Jβadore cette bΓ©bΓͺte, j'ai toujours rΓͺver de la dessiner mais la chapeau, exactement comme dans mon imaginaire, sincΓ¨rement je la trouve trop mΓ©chante, la tΓͺte est fantastiquement (lol) monstrueuse.... ><. Β

LA bestiole mythologique qui m'a toujours fichu une trouille pas possible, ton interprΓ©tation est sublime tout en "dΓ©poussiΓ©rant" le mythe

I've never been very fond of winged manticores. Your version, yet alien, makes more sense to me. Wonderful depiction of the monster...

Thank you ! By the way sorry if it's a pretty odd question but could you tell me how you came across my picture ? It has more views and favs than usual today and I was wondering why.
Thak you again ^^.

yeah, I found it, it was a DD with a rhinoceros creature, thanks ^^.
So "more like this" IS useful after all !

Yes, now I remember tha rhino! Well, then, it seems I liked more your manticore, after all...

As if manticores weren't scary enough... THIS SHIT COMES!
In other words: You did an awesome job!

This looks so awesome! I love the inclusion of pincers on his back.

Mon dieu qu'il est laid (le monstre pas le dessin, faut pas dΓ©conner)! Remarque un Manticore n'est pas fait pour Γͺtre beau

Makes sense , what with the whole scorpion connection with their tail...

Well, I'll be cajigered. That's some dangerous-looking Manticore.

Now that's one awesome Manitcore. Going with the pincers instead of the wings was a good choice as it makes the creature look even more menacing.

Magnifique ! effectivement les pinces lui vont Γ merveille

nice work, i love creatures of legend and this one is great, it feels more legendary and original rather than looking like a lion which is a refreshing change. I'm curious though what made you want to paint a manticor?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you ^^.
Well, I didn't do some classic fantasy for a while and that was the occasion to change a little from my more "anime-like" style. I wanted to fo some representations of mythological beasts and I founded that the manticore wasn't so often depicted although the design was pretty interesting.

nice, well keep up the good work anyway

I remember reading about these things when I was a kid. This is a great representation of what I imagined.

I love everything about the head, and there's a neat resemblance between the mane and the tail. The pincers look a bit stuck-on, but they fit better than a pair of wings. Manticores are my favorite mythological beast.

well, I get what you mean with the pincers, but adding more fur on these limbs looked pretty awkward ! ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I see what you mean. Looking at it again, I think the contrast between fur and shell makes it look extra fantastic.

How come Manticores are never made of kittens, baby bunnies, and love birds?
Awesome work!
