it’s in the name folks silly mantis fella, their design was based on the Deroplatys desiccata aka giant dead leaf mantis they aren’t associated with any pre-existing story of mine, I just wanted to draw them IN THE CASE THAT SOMEONE USES THIS this design is a bit outdated, mainly because my art style has changed a bit. For the most part it’s just their head that looks different and some proportions are less scuffed but I can’t be bothered to make a new ref sheet despite this being one of the characters I’ve drawn the most they still have no name funny story #1: when I actually went and finished this I had no idea what outfit to put them in so I just.. drew them in what I was wearing irl at the time lol funny story #2: I got sidetracked while making this and broke my kazoo trying to play Rules of Nature from metal gear rising if you couldn’t tell I really like bugs
I’m not proud of this but please don’t steal my work, if the art or character is used/referenced at all please credit me at the very least. or don’t because people don’t seem to respect these anyways
