Hi I'm Kritter (they/them) and I make art things and have praying mantises for pets.

2D/3D animator and illustrator, 3D modeler and game dev, self-taught digital painter, award winning (???) watercolor artist and independent hand-drawn animated film maker. Degree in animation and minor in creative writing. Beginner macro photographer, occasional voice actor and streamer. Pokemon Go Community Ambassador. Currently freelancing. 

To follow only my artwork, you can +watch community Feather Critter Art. But if you want to see the nonsense personal stuff from my life you can follow me here. :B Block the 'tweets' tag to shut out some of the more inane posts.

Remember that if you keep exotic pets you must NEVER release them into the wild and be extremely careful to not let them escape. Check your local laws and do extensive research into care requirements before acquiring any exotic pet. Only purchase exotic species that have been captive bred.

All exotic mantises I keep are tropical species; I live in a high-altitude desert with harsh winters, so there is no chance of an escapee becoming invasive.

I am a frequent poster of strange creatures! You may wish to block the following tags if you are bothered by:

• mantises (I don't tag these 'insect' for those who are cool with mantises but not other insects)
• insects 
• crustaceans (includes isopods etc)
• myriapods (centipedes etc)
• spiders
• arachnids (includes scorpions)
• gastropods (slugs snails etc)
• arthropods (category defiant)
