Omg yes Adeline, amazing!!! 👏🥰💖Congratulations
On making a whole graphic novel at all, too, you have poured incredible effort into your project!!
Sacred Kingfisher
Me too! 🥹
Also, did you know sexual cannibalism among wild mantises, estimated to occur at around 13-28% of encounters, depending on species, season and other factors. When it does occur, it's usually out of stress or hunger.
She's out there, mating, with a much smaller brown male.
Did you know they mate for approx 3-12 hours? Damn 🫡
Took some better shots of the grown lady ☺️
They are very cute, very expressive, and exhibit many cat-like behaviours!
WOW! His red eyes are amazing!
Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm trying to work out how to show off more... Insect parts, like palps and maxillae but also stylise then in a way that they can be cute? Very tricky! I'm glad you like the details! ☺️
Yessss there will be much more 🫡🥳
More quirrel hollow knight sketches :3 I'm trying to figure out this whole insectoid characters thing 🤔
It's called false garden mantis/pseudomantis albofimbriata despite it being a true mantis because it's a little different to the mantis genus... So it's more like "slightly different mantis" haha.
The female can't fly + it has those dark spots on its femurs
Thank you!! 🥰
Wowww they really truly want to be picked up? 🥺🥹 That's so so cute, agh, I can't wait to keep one someday! I just need to get comfortable with keeping also their live feed aha 🫣
Thank you!!!
Oh thank you! I'm so glad you think so! I'm very new to insectoid art and it is tricky, hahaha... But I want to do sooo much more, more Quirrel coming up 🥹
She was so small here! 😭
The false garden mantis I have been keeping an eye on in the garden has grown into an adult. Say hi to the beautiful lady 🥹
Aren't they great?! I can't think of a more expressive bug, they're just so cute, the way they turn their head to look at you 🥹 I don't know much about the silliness of captive bred mantises but I hope to experience this someday
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say!! ☺️
Hehehe they're so coy 🙂↕️
Most definitely!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!
Aww thank you! It's such a tricky subject for me but I want to draw lots more hahaha
Had a go at some pixel art 🙂↕️
Whenever I see an isopod now, I always think "Oh, a little Quirrel."
Quirrel!
It is! 🙂↕️🩷
Thank you so much! 🥹🩷
