Glorified doodle page of the Green Prince! Pretty, depressed bug that he is. Oh my god you have no idea how bad I got it for this stupid green thing the second I happened across him in game. And the more I learned the worse it got.

plus Sherma. I needed to fill that empty space with something.

I didn’t base him on a specific mantis species, I took elements from a few species. Somewhere between a shield mantis and a giant devil’s flower mantis for the upper back carapace, vague inspo between an Asian flower mantis and European mantis for the wings.

I also toyed with giving him a couple little antennae decor bits, as seen in the lower left. If I’m going the flower mantis route, in some species males have big long pectinate antennae, so like a big long comb, but I also didn’t want to make them too far off from the silhoeutte. idk, we’ll see.
