Ah, thank you! Accordion folds are great, they can be really basic but there are so many variations that it keeps 'em interesting. c:

so romantic and beautiful.

*sheds tear

Although I have to say, your mantis drawing style reminds me of some old Chinese kids book about this mantis couple (more PG rated) but they look kinda similar 0.o
