Emma Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Manticore Last Stand of the Salamanders (WZ6:B7) For the Desert King! Having been summoned by the Desert King, the Great Manitcore travels north to help with securing the Northern corridor. The Salamanders are no longer safe behind the gates of Northwall with the manticore easily scaling the battlements and tossing down the cowering Ulandians to the Desert King’s troupes waiting below. The whole thing: The manticore didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped - his face is certainly a little odd, but I was running low on time and started smushing pieces together hoping that they would stay in place, lol. Thanks for looking, comments/critiques are always appreciated :) WZ pick: C7 Edited April 17, 2015 by Emma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted April 12, 2015 Excellent entry! The way the gate is angled looks fantastic and I like the bley/tan combo Great portcullis design too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob Nion Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Ha, and I thought about asking you if I may depict the manticore of your story. I find your beast works pretty well. I like the claws and the body. And the head together with the mane tells which source material you were using. I like that -so to say-classical look with the human face! The walls are nicely done. I hope this beast will bring us victory. Edited April 12, 2015 by Jacob Nion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrcp6d Posted April 13, 2015 This is great! The posing is fantastic and the detailed walls are sweet. The face on the beast is a bit squished, but the rest of its design is pretty incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted April 15, 2015 The tan/bley combo looks outstanding Scary beasty too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted April 16, 2015 A very well composed build, Emma! The walls are beautiful (although they do look a bit more ornamental than defensive) and that manticore is looking great. It does appear somewhat humanoid in the face, which I think it great for a mythical being! Further, it looks like it is having a bad hair day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted April 16, 2015 Absolutely stunning, Emma. I absolutely love the wall design, such elegant shaping and lovely color use. The portcullis looks fantastic as well. I was really hoping to see the Manitcore in one of your builds after the allusion in your WZ5 entry, and you do not disappoint! It certainly looks ferocious, and I love how it appears to be sweeping the walls of defending Ulandians. Excellent work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted April 16, 2015 Great beast Emma. Minifig posing is Superb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emma Posted April 17, 2015 Thank you so much everyone . Ha, and I thought about asking you if I may depict the manticore of your story. ooh - you should do a manticore. It would be neat to see another builder's interpretation of the beast, and you would do an amazing job with it. (Besides this is just the 'Great Manticore' odds are there are at least 'Greater' and 'Greatest' somewhere in Kaliphlin as well... ...(although they do look a bit more ornamental than defensive) ... it looks like it is having a bad hair day! I always thought the Kaliphlinites seemed quite fond of pretty structures . And yes, this fellow definitely has a terrible case of bedhead, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
