#mantis traitor

[mousathe14]

What is the point of having Cloth for the Traitor Mantis fight if they’re too slow to hit anything and don’t draw aggro?

Also I kind of hate that no matter where I go or what order I go in or what charms I have or how much health I have, nearly every boss fight is the hardest boss fight. I don’t feel like I’m progressing, I kind of feel like I’m running in circles.

Like Dark Souls.

But unlike Dark Souls only there’s at least fun gameplay to be had in-between boss fights rather than the game itself feeling like running in circles.

Btw I haven’t posted this because I’ve won, I’m still putting up with the fight.

In fact, what’s also frustrating is that the challenge can’t just be the fight. The challenge is also having to manage getting through all the spike infested halls to get to the traitor in the first place and it’s so easy to make a mistake and now you don’t have enough health for the boss fight or enough soul to heal yourself for the fight or during the fight or whatever.

Like, why have benches so far away with all this stuff in-between? What’s the purpose of all this other than attempting to instill a deep abiding hatred for an otherwise fun game?

Mantis lords + friends!!!

the mantis lords are my darlings and I expand upon each of them in my adventures of new hallownest series! these doodles coincide with different episodes/arcs.

The youngest of the sisters (Biana) is the most curious about the world beyond their tribe, and one of her adventures takes her to the archives where she meets Quirrel.

Cloth has already earned the respect of the lords and the tribe. (I have many Cloth + mantis tribe hcs I should expand on later) and the second born lord (Siara) known for her fierce bravery is especially fond of her.

There is a really fun episode later in the series where the eldest sister (Oriana) meets the Sheo, and we explore that dynamic. The episode title is "war paint master" haha.

enjoy more mantis doodles !!! (they will maybe never end)

Inktober prompts exotic and navigator. Yeah, that's an awkward 'meet the family' episode, but what if everything was okay and Ze'mer could have a happy ending???

Featuring not yet traitor Traitor Lord and his sadly nameless daughter :(

While the mantises would likely be against this relationship, Ze'mer would probably be competent enough of a knight to prove herself to them. Plus, they're allies with Hallownest, and the Pale King would be more chill about it. His wife is a plant, AND he agreed to whatever he and Herrah did in the bedroom at least once...

Maybe in some peaceful timeline, this could lead to a better Mantis-Hallownest relationship.

Sketchbooks spreads so far and some more sketches, including the cursed way I headcanon the Pale King eating
