Toxodera beieri acrylic painting

[brancsikia339]

Hey guys

Since I was out from school today, I decided to do a painting. This is toxodera beieri with two orchids in a black background. I'm planning on selling either the original or prints eventually

Thanks guys! It took awhile but it was totally worth it! 5 hours in all

wow what?? this painting is so rad! Look at her sassy eyes <3 great work and lovely brush strokes!! The detail and contrast on her 'snout'/mouth parts are my favorite part of this piece

And hey, why not sell both prints AND the original? This is a great piece :]

Thank you so much! I think that's what I'm going to do, selling both the prints and the original. The detailing of the face took a good hour (mixing the colors for it took longer!) but it was all worth it

while we're on the topic, I haven't been on here in a long time, and I'm searching for an image... can't seem to find it. it was a nice labeled illustration of facial anatomy. anyone know what i'm referring to that could help me find it? I like knowing the names of things

I really don't see a mantis, is it there?
