Scrapping Later! Prolly once I submit the colors. Download for bigger?

Tristan is a manticore, Isolde is a sphynx. They wuv each other VEWY MUCH. Just kidding. Isolde's got the hots for Tristan and he likes her back but he's all BAWW IM UGLYand she has to smack a ho. Yes.

Anyway. Modifying the traditional manticore bit, Tristan's still got the lion body, humanoid face, stinger tail, and 3 rows of teeth. The additions: long, long neck (length of his body minus tail!), a super long snakey tongue (which, coupled with those gnarly teeth, means the poor boy isn't doing much talking. He can make noise, oh yeah, but you won't hear words.), awesome curve-back horns, eyebrow whiskers to put an asian lung to shame, and wispy billygoat beard! <3 I figure he always has this confused look on his face, not like "Whoa, dude, where am I?" but more "Who are you get out of mai faec >:C". Yes.

Isolde has the lion's (winged) body and woman's face of a sphynx, but after that I just went halfway crazy. She's got a long neck like Tristan, but her mane is braided with many PURTY BEADS and stuff. No, I didn't draw the beads, are you crazy? Lol... From the elbow and knee down she has awesome bird legs/feet (yur so jelus of mai skillz, i kno), and a weird bird tail that semi-hides a long snake tail. Phew. Oh, and cute wispy cheek fur and bushy eyebrows. And boobs. LOLWHAT? <3

I WUV THEM!

I just had to make a manticore, and his "girlfriend" just naturally followed. xD

-Lee, wif <3

Whoa...these are interesting just to look at. I've never seen a manticore drawn like that...but I'm now convinced that's how they -should- be drawn <3

Awieeeee, long fuzzy neck is made of awesome :3
*cuddle*

Your designs are so frikkin original xD I really like the girl, she reminds me of this.. 'thing' from a legend we're learning about. I forgot the name, ofcourse, because I'm just that awesome :lol:

Manticores are really cool. Too bad they're not as versatile as like... vampires. :iconsnowkatt101: made a Manticore anthro a while ago though... So I can't just go ahead and steal that idea, lulz. (even though I really want to because ZHEY IS JUST ZHAT AWSAMS)

Yay! I love the necks! So... fuzzy... @_@

Hell, make one anyway! Just put your own personal spin on it, like I did! Hell, you could make one like these guys if you/I ever feel like working that into an art trade, maybe.

Or make a mermai- wait, a WOOLY MAMMOTH. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

YES.

Thank you so muuuuch! <3
