There you go!
First I drew the mantis, then the rocks then the gems- lava-mountain - sky-clouds-milkyway-jupiter-sun and last the stars
I used signo white, that's a white gel pen and a silver gelpen for the stars!

here are some WIP pics

and heres the gems and the lava.
then i made the sky and the stars

What do you think?
Praying mantis is one of the most diverse of all insects and they come in all colors!
theres the coronatus mantis and the pink petal mantis which i think is the prettiest ever!

Enjoy!

I've always thought mantis bugs look most like aliens... the landscape and sky make him look even more extra terrestrial! I love it!
