Hello from the Sunshine State!

[CutieCrawlersArt]

Hello everyone! I’m a newbie mantis collector from Jacksonville, Florida, but I’ve loved mantises (and all types of animals!) since forever. I’m loving all the information I’m finding on here. I’m 26, a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design, and am currently a digital concept artist and illustrator for video game companies remotely. ^^ (I’m currently drawing my Ghost Mantis, actually, and I wanna get around to drawing each of mantises eventually~)

I've got a small collection of mantises so far, looking to expand once I get the chance! I also want to learn how to breed and keep these little buggers too, but for now, I’m going to get used to them and figure out how shipping insects and such would work out. Nice ta meetcha all!

(Also does anyone know why I can’t upload an avatar? I’ve been trying all night but it won’t take my images.)

(Here's my current WIP for my Ghost. ^^)​

Welcome to the fourms. Your artwork is amazing. I have a few friends who are very into entomology related art.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I'd love to do some entomology related stuff, but I'm definitely new to it. ; u;

Also oh! Hello hibiscusmile! I'm seeing some familiar faces on here (like Peter too!). I may or may not be that person with the lids problem you helped me out with (thanks so much for that again). I found my way here finally. ^ w^

Also stippling is super cool, I've always been horrible at it though ehehe.
