I really like the texture of the fur and the grass and the girl's stockings, and the only thing I think can use some work is the anatomy of both the manticore and the beautiful young lady.

For vision I gave it a four because it looks nice, but it isn't entirely amazing. As mentioned above, some anatomy work, and possibly a bit more shading on the young woman would have pushed this peice up to the full five stars.

I gave the peice a four and a half in originality because of the fantastic nature of the beast you have shown here and because you have placed both creatures within a point of interest. The only thing that could have pushed the originality up would be a different perspective such as worm's eye view or birds eye view to enhance the interest.

I gave you a four and a half for technique because I know how time consuming this peice must have been, and you pulled off the little details nicely.

You got a five for impact because of the stark contrast between black and white, and the subtle texture of the grass, and fur.
