[Postcards] - Manticore

[kasche]

And this is the last one already - I really ended up making so awfully few of them. Gah.
   
   

For nassima.

So, when last year I asked people what they would have liked on their cards, she asked for a magical creature, and I immediately thought of a manticore.

I do love that animal. Love which is mostly founded on the fact that, as Newt Scamander says, " [...] the manticore is reputed to croon softly as it devours its prey."        I don't know, it just tickles my funny bone. Just like an old woman would hum when she’s knitting.

I am kind of weird, ain't I...

And while we’re here, might I also add that, had that pic been in color, the shreds of clothes and the ribbon would have been pink? If you know what I mean.

You see my dilemma? He is, like, tearing some person to pieces. He is. But he's humming and singing when he does it! Just like one would hum while doing the chores! How cute is that?

And awwww. Thank you! ♥

Thank you! :D

Y'know, a manticore that cute probably has an insanely easy time catching people. Scary!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Oh, I think I know now what I want to be when I grow up. :P

Thank you!

Is it wrong that I just want to hug this Manticore?

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Not wrong at all - but then again, I'm kind of biased, ain't I. ;D

Heheh... he looks shocked, like "Why are you taking my picture? O_o" I sort of love him. And I sort of want him to wear that ribbon in his hair after :D

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Oh my god, like a giant cat or something. He'd just have to play with some ball of thread and the picture would be complete. :D

♥ He's surprisingly cute, and I don't think anyone would object if they knew who he was eating. :-)

Hehehe! See? He's doing a social service. ;D

Thank you! ♥

Hi! I have seen your art around but never actually been to your LJ till today. And I am scolding myself for taking so long because I love the Marauders so very much. Your art is brilliant I love everything I have seen. I will be happy for weeks looking at it.

I read your profile and hope you don't mind me adding you to my friend list. I don't post much but I love the LJ comms.

I saw that you are Italian and I just spent two weeks in Northern Italy. It was amazing and beautiful and I can't wait to go back.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! I'm glad you like my stuff. :D And of course I don't mind! I'm flattered you added me, actually. ;)

It is beautiful there, isn't it? I don't live there myself, but I've recently been in the area to visit one of my dearest friends. I've got to say, I liked it a lot too. :D

I love that you draw in your text books. I can't draw to save my life but have always like to doodle on anything I can get my hands on. I post more over at Insane Journal so I friended you there as well.

I was in Piacenza visiting my very good friend. It is very lovely there and everywhere I went.

[kasche.livejournal.com]

Hehe! I know the feeling. :D

I know the city, of course, but I can't remember if I've ever been there. :) I was near the lake of Como instead.

[walk-on-walk-on.livejournal.com]

I went to Firenze, Venezia and Milano as well. There isn't a single ugly thing about Italy. Well maybe the annoying guy who played music too loud on the train coming back form Venezia. I think I am going back next year, I will have to check out Lake Como as I have heard it is beautiful. AND George Cloony lives there maybe I can find him *giggles*
