It’s all fun and games until Ike says something serious and important.
A book I worked on comes out today! When the Earth Was Green by Riley Black! I did a bunch of illustrations for it! This is the second time I’ve worked with Riley, the last one being The Last Days of the Dinosaurs! If you like extinct animals and haven’t read either book, I highly recommend them!!!!

Hey, look at that. ‘Peers they’re on board, finally.
Gosh you can really feel the emotions here, I look forward to the Q and A’s to come
Time for some manticore lore
Mantilore.
manti-lore
Mantilore*
I appreciate the sincerity. I can tell these two fool around often, even come across as mean-spirited (you can only end up being so nice a person when you’re treated like scum of the earth all the time) but they don’t actually wanna hurt Ike
Not fair, we don’t get the book until mid-March in Europe. Sigh. I’ll have to wait. I loved the previous one and the illustrations you made.
Manticores supposedly havmve human faces…I’ll be interested to know why one has a lion face, and the other a human one. Regionals?
I seem to recall in this world’s lore there are two types of Manticores- lion faced and human faced.
Different kinds of manticores. In mythology and heraldry there’s human-faced, lion-faced, and even monkey-faced manticores! And some manticores have scorpion tails and some have the spike tails that they have in Skin Deep.
Ooph, that paired with the ad for the book about extinct animals really hits.
Oh my, good catch.
OH MY GOSH you worked with Riley Black!!! I gotta grab those books!!!!
“First things first. We’re adopting you. You’re our nephew now.”
“But -”
“Now that that’s settled, go get us some smokes, lad, go on.”
Poor bastard. Glad they’ve got clue enough to lay off for a few minutes!
Nice! Glad to see the Manticores taking Ike seriously. :-)
I just noticed Ike’s horizontal pupil! That’s probably from his mom’s side, yeah? That’s cool! :3
in case there are others like me in the future
or you know, little half mes/half pretty bohemian lions, just you know in case
Aw man, now I’ve got a real hard sad goin’ on -:(
I’m glad they’re taking him seriously.
Yay! And sad for him…I’m curious as to what they’ll say…The gang is in the background! I love your comic, I’ve been reading it for years!! I’m so glad you’ve started updating it again!
What if… the guy that went in with the jacket, is the manticore father in his sorcery caused human form?
If he ends up being the dad…
Oh pleeeease give us teh dramas!
This piece is beautifully toned and colored.
