Anya ChalinaThe Royal Manticore Wanted to post this artwork on its own. This piece is very special to me because it helped me to define the style I want to follow with my work. I am also planning to draw a comic about the Manticore and the universe I built from this piece. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#illustration</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fantasy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/manticore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manticore</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CreativeToots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CreativeToots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fediart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediart</a>

Bevan ThomasThe manticore is a man-eating monster of Persian and European folklore that resembles a human-headed lion. Despite the manticore's human features, its intelligence is only that of an animal's. When it speaks, the manticore is just parroting words in a high-pitched falsetto.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MythologyMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MythologyMonday</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#31DaysofHaunting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Folklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Persia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Persia</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PersianFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PersianFolklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PersianMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PersianMythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EuropeanFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EuropeanFolklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EuropeanMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EuropeanMythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Monster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monster</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Bestiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bestiary</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Manticore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manticore</a>
