Mantis picture for a new tattoo!?

[TheOtherSpecies]

I am in search of a photo for a new tattoo and it has to be a shot from the back or top view with the mantis looking back with the shadow below him/her. If you have one like this please help add to my canvas!

What kind of mantis are you going to use?

 

[sally]

A colorful threat display would bo good...

 

[TheOtherSpecies]

The kind of mantis doesn't really matter... it's more for ideas and I want him to go unique with it yet natural!

Halloween themed Creo? XD Nice pics

Not great, but is this the right idea?

I'm sure you want more of a "Classic mantis" but this Prima Dona tried to steal the show...

I don't think this is what you want but... Ill post it. I have a full blown tatt of my horse that has won tatt expos and the shadowing was free handed by the artist. It didnt exist in the photo. Just a thought.

Very Nice! Thank you to everyone who has shared!

you need him to draw you a mantis that is holding a skull in its hand and the rest of the body in the other like a giant mantis. Precarius has the best insane mantis closeup pics ask him for advice.

It has been finished and I went with Agent A's pic of the Creo! If you have not seen my new art applied to my canvas just check out my Gallery!
