Digging Up Old Art-Entry 8

Mantra

This is terribly old. So old in fact it's when I went back to coloring things by hand with Prisma pencils and Prisma markers because I hadn't quite figured out how to get the effect in Photoshop. This is Mantra, from the defunct Malibu Comics.

Those of you that aren't familiar with the character...if you're a dude and you got excited when you saw her...figure...I hate to inform you that Mantra is a man.

WHAT?!?!

Well, kinda. See, while the body is in fact a woman's, an eternal warrior was locked in battle with his enemy and the outcome of the battle had him transported into this woman's body...kinda like what happened to William Bell on FRINGE, minus the battle.

While the comic was short lived, I did enjoy it for the art and for Mantra's costume. Anyone wearing a hood or cape falls under category "AWESOME" in my book...Altair, Ezio, Azreal, Moon Knight, etc.
