Manticore

Published:

Description

My instructors absolutly hated this due to the choice of vibrant color palette. No matter, I up and sold it last December to someone who appriciated my effort.

The manticore in mythos was a leonine beast, with a scorpion's tail, hedgehog spikes and a man's face who was said to dine on the flesh of humans. My whole theme of the third year was recreating ancient myths to fit modern standards and my own personal imagination.

My manticore is still the flesh eater, with other various animals mixed with the original concept.

Mediums used: Heavy stock paper, Laurentien pencil crayons, Reeves pencil crayons, Prismacolors, colorless blender, eraser and ink

*_* Pretty wing. I love the blending there.

Hmm, I guess the colour palette is either gaudy or cool depending on different people, but I personally like it ^_^ Highlights the chaos of the manticore I think.
