Majestic and frightening, both at once.
Wow thanks for that dude!
I found this image when looking through the fan-wiki for the pen and paper game The Dark Eye, and just wanted to tell you that this looks amazing.
Can´t wait to finally convince my DM to let me make a mentally unstable dark mage who specializes in making chimeras. Just imagine a dude riding one of those into town...
Holy Shoot! Awesome work! Most epic and badass Manticore, which I seen Ba-Ba-Ba-Boom, Baby!
i'm planning on Drawing a manticore on my YouTube channel and this will be a great reference photo! I'm so glad i found it and if you want i can give you credit in the description sins your picture was a great inspiration
Awesome! 
This is very fantastic.
This is absolutely amazing! 
I love the way you did the scales, and how the face has a few human features while still being mostly lion-like. The whole design goes together really well (especially for a hybrid creature like this). Great job!

I wish there were more movies with Manticores in them. It such an epic creature. This is fantastic.
Gotta love a classic!
I'm not gonna lie, this is definitely me when I wake up in the morning
Jesus christ man are you okay
Awesome work.
Yes, we all know the legendary beast was supposed to have a human face, but I see more than I want of those every day! I prefer my Manties more lion-y. Epic portrait!
i love it you are a very nice painter
My goodness, you have no idea how much I love this piece. Now that I've joined I had to track you down and give you props for it.
Plus I love Manticores.

Your work is incredible. This is the type of fantasy and sci fi I wish to attain.
This is badass!
I sincerely apologize for the constant favorite 'spam', lmao.
