What happened to Jiminy Cricket, Mark? He's not the same cute fellow that I know! LOL I don't know what kind of insect this is but he sure comes over as a powerful warrior. Love his stance! Great detail1 Love the determined look on his face. This guy means business! I hope he's out there defending us from ticks! Very cool and fun to view! :o) Nancy

about a decade back i had a fellow sharpie artist ask me to give him some tips with the pens..i said "sure..3 words...practice...practice...practice." he probably thought i was being sarcastic but i wasn't. there different steps i do on these pens when laying out the image. going from light to dark. also folks don't realize there is layers of ink on these creations. i hate my new scanner because the original looks richer in color than the jpg..im looking for a better dashboard for this scanner so if i start to pop in color that means i fixed my problem..lol. glad you have enjoyed this and thanks for the great review..btw why dont you try it sometime (all bic and sharpie pens)?

Interesting and fun to view this warrior. It makes me think that the he will soon start cutting the grass and land owner will be trilled about it.
Great details and wonderful presentation.

lol..can you imagine seeing this? seeing your neighbor standing in his doorway with a cup of coffee in hand looking out onto the yard. In the yard, there you will see a dozen of these critters out there swishing away with their spears cutting the grass. you ask your neighbor "Hello, what are you doing?"...He takes a sip from his coffee and turns toward you but pointing back at the yard.."oh im just out here making sure they don't miss anything! cheap labor!"..lololloll. sorry you gave me a passing thought..lol. glad you have enjoyed this and thanks for the great review.
Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is another fine work, so smooth in flow, and indeed illustrates a warrior which stands out as the focus. Also, you are always so encouraging. The background is fine, the character adorable.

Comment from orchidrn
A great image of a praying mantis, a warrior.. The
drawing is sharp and well defined. he grassy setting is just perfect for this character with the same color. The gray background even highlights the colors of your subject well because of the contrast. Drawn with expertise, Mark.

Comment from soulfeeder
An amazing drawing of this praying mantis with a sword in its hand and a shield on its chest. This drawing is sharp and well defined. I like the way that you drawn it bodily parts like its muscles and abdomen and you have surely used lines to define it. The grassy setting is just perfect for this character with the same color. The gray background even highlights the colors of your subject well because of the contrast. Drawn with expertise, Mark. This is also an image with a story to tell. Well done.
