it started out as a action pose practice. then a comic page. and then 2 pages. idk if ill color it i dont want to ruin it ;; I dont think my insert would be involved with the events of AGIT but its my au so i do what i want lol
for the @ninjago-valentine-exchange I had a lot of fun with this piece even though I submitted it a little bit late and tried to go for a bit of a story book vibe
If you like how this came out than you should check out the fic that inspired it
For the arthropod prompt, we turn back to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 3, featuring the wild duo of the Praying Mantis and the Giant Panda.
The Panda Mantis has distinct markings and is covered in soft hair (or pile, similar to a bumblebee) that gives it a uniquely fuzzy appearance, strikingly similar to the coloring of the Giant Panda.
Also like the Giant Panda, this amusing insect insists on a vegetarian diet despite descending from a species adapted to being a predator.
Color Vision:
While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is mainly inspired by the Giant Panda, with a little splash of praying mantis on the eyes.
