Outfit for a mantis? And mayhaps insect wing care? Ty ❤️❤️❤️

I Hope you like this! I'm not sure what you mean by wing care specifically, but ill try my best:

Gentle movements

Mimic the graceful movements of mantis' by practicing yoga or tai chi! For your wings, here are some nice yoga stretches that focus on the back!

Visualization

Take some time to visualize your wings, Maybe go for a walk and look down at your shadow and visualize your silhouette with wings, or simply meditate in a quite place and focus on them. What they look like, the color, the weight, how they fold against you. Visualize moving them, very slowly and intentionally. How to they close and open? What do they feel like at rest vs in motion? etc. Art Draw them! Creating artwork is always a great outlet!

I saw this so I wanted to join in. (2021-2022-2024)

I feel like I really just improved in colors, not much else. To be fair I rarely try to experiment with anything else. What else did I improve in? Feel free to say in a reblog, comment, tag, heck even ask (anon or not just shoot)

Radiant Kin Vanilla dump! Vanilla and the first two art pieces were made by @grapejuicedragoon! And I am legit just freaking out over how adorable, sweet, and pure she is!

at her full age, her power as daughter to the radiance manifests as flowers made of light and essence that glows, and when gifted, gives the holder good dreams. Mortem and Moor are the proudest of parents despite her not being theirs by birth. even if she ends up taller than them. Thank you for this sweet baby bean!

I'm gonna try opening up drawing requests for a little (both on my main and side @sliverspeaks) so feel free to send is requests! Don't expect anything too fancy, I want to save my motivation & I don't have a lot of time for complicated requests, so it'll most likely be just doodles and sketches!

What I'll do:

Animals

Kin related doodles

Bugsnax, Bug fables, Cult of the Lamb, Hollow Knight, or Rain World (though I'd prefer if you sent any rw requests to my side blog!)

Pretty much anything else that isn't on my don't do list, though I might not answer these if I don't have enough motivation or I don't understand the request fully, sorry

What I won't do:

NSFW/ or anything suggestive

Anything with gore (though a little bit of blood is fine)

Humans (I'm sorry but I have no idea how to draw them and make them look good-)

Any Rain World iterator ship art (I'm okay with doodling *some* slugcat ships but I don't really want to draw any iterator ships. Though I might do slivermoon because it's funny)

OCs

Anything too complicated (I'm not a professional or experienced artist!)

I'll probably only do 5-10 requests so they might not be open for too long depending on how many asks I get!

top 5 bosses, for any reason

Nightmare King Grimm. Aside from Grimm being my over-all favorite character (and NKG being my favorite iteration of him), I think his fight has the best flow of any. He was my first hitless boss for a reason. Also I genuinely like his boss theme more than Troupe Master's, sorry Grimm your pink alternative self is cooler.

Pure Vessel. You're going to find that most of my votes are for the harder versions because I'm a tryhard, but also, Pure Vessel's fight is an absolute work of art and the ONLY reason I don't rate them higher than NKG is because their fight is locked in Godhome only. I feel like we got ripped off and they REALLY should have been a fight we could encounter elsewhere. Like let us dream nail something at the end of Path of Pain to fight them. I do not enjoy Godhome much.

Sisters of Battle. For much the same reason as Grimm, their fight is a rhythm one with a lot of tempo, coupled with the music really complimenting it well. Also, the Mantis Lords are fucking awesome. I love them so much. I have half of a one shot written for them based off of a headcanon Slimes shared with me about their headdresses and I'm super freaking excited for it.

Lost Kin. Listen, Broken Vessel/Lost Kin is one of my favorite characters (they are, in fact, #3 after Grimm and Hollow). Their music is great, and the cinematic moment when the lightseeds fill their body as Broken Vessel is haunting. I'm choosing Lost Kin only because I think their fight is more fun and less area denial.

Dung Defender/White Defender - I like to juggle.
