No matter the care to rake your yard, or the ire to curse you hand. #inktober

Inktober 2025 Day 11: Sting. A manticore is typically depicted as part man and part lion with the stinging tail of a scorpion. As with many mythological hybrids, some are born more man than beast - yet remain just as deadly, often working as mercenaries or assassins. #inktober #manticore
Man and woman with lion ears and scorpion tails stand side by side, arms crossed and brandishing knives. His shaggy hair covers his eyes and he wears a three piece suit. Her hair is dramatically blown out and she wears a bell bottom cat suit.
