Mantis
I've always been fascinated by mantises and I wanted to paint one in an old master kind of way. I've been doing portrait practices of Sargent's work and then try to apply the lighting ideas I learn onto something new and from the mind. For this portrait I thought it would be a cool way to show off the eyes of the Mantis and some of their other buggy textures. I might do an iguana next because of their bumpy skin, that would look cool!
Thank you for looking!
Great art.It is upvoted.
Thank you 😀
Wonderful work man! Love the claws and the eyes! So alien-like...
I know, they've always creeped me out in a way. It's amazing what kinds of creatures live in our world!
Cool painting man... that bug looks creepy as fuck, looks like something straight out a monster movie.
Haha, for sure! The females eat the males after mating. They are totally freaky looking
That's really fantastic, the textures look like real.
