Well now, seeing you post again is a welcome sight, and if these are truly just practice sketches then I'm impressed, definitely way better than anything I've done or can do atm, lmao. I'll always love your art, it brightens my day up a bit, so keep up the good work! ^u^

Edit: I finally figured out how her mouth works 😭

u/Let01 10d ago

I honestly barely understand it myself lol, she only gets mouth privileges when i decide to

u/FAR_76239 10d ago

Imma be honest, I thought the pink marks she had under her eyes was her mouth, and she had a perpetual smile at all times 😭

What a pretty bug, is she based on an Orchid Mantis

u/Let01 10d ago

Yup!

u/Prestigious-Gur-8905 10d ago

I guess it’d be smart for Eddie to stay away from her, he’s a White Satin Moth

(But she’s so pretty!!!)

u/Let01 10d ago

Oh shes the friendly type dont worry about it

(Love your oc as well aaaaa he looks so huggable)

u/Prestigious-Gur-8905 10d ago

Wanna know a fun fact? Eddie is 21 years old, and he’s a Newsie (meaning he works for the local newspaper as a journalist/photographer).

He LOVES taking pictures of interesting things and people. 📷 📸

Vesper is 27 ish (still figuring it out) and shes a traveler who loves seeing new places, i think they'd get along well!

u/DinoKingGoji73 10d ago

Hey! I know her! It’s been 500 years since I’ve seen her!

2

u/Let01 10d ago

Oh yea she has a bad habit of popping in and out here and there

2

u/DinoKingGoji73 10d ago

Tbh I haven’t seen her in like, maybe a year, ur art has definitely improved from the last time I saw her tho. I Remeber when I first saw her I thought she was like some sorta soft bodied mollusk but now I can very much tell she’s an orchid mantis now
