Type Collab: Shiny Leavanny
Made a second contribution for GottaDrawEmAll's Bug type collab!
I'm so happy that RNG decided to compensate that Wurmple from earlier and give me something actually cool! Sorry Wurmple, working you you was fun but LEAVANNY here is the shit. Leavanny is one of my favourite bugs and even if the shiny form isn't that exciting I still enjoyed this one a whole lot. I've really been improving my process. Deadline rush might've aided it but I did much less useless flailing about with this painting than I have done with a lot of others. I rendered this bug all in one sitting, which took me maybe 4-5 hours.
One thing I like about Leavanny is its style and posture so I wanted to capture that in this interpretation. I based it on phylliidae (leaf insects and the choeradodis mantis. Mantises are so great. Bugs are so great. I have really had fun drawing all these bugs lately and I really like how this one came our!
Hope you like it!
