Description ok, first some background

For the longest time, I'd heard whisperings of insect and bug characters. They aren't super popular, and for good reason. Bugs are ikky, they buzz and bite and make summer miserable. So i'd ignored them for the most part. That is, until I discovered White-Mantis .
Their gallery immediately inspired me. Their lines, the movement in their pieces, incredible coloring and absolutely stunning lighting. But most amazing of all, is the subjects of their art, beautiful, handsome, bugs. It was amazing to me, and right away I fell in love. Their stories are interesting, and suddenly I found myself connecting with and understanding the characters.

And so when, months later, my friend krooku was looking for a new home for their Vespimite, right away I saw the potential to turn him into a gorgeous humanoid insect, similar to White-Mantis '. I've owned Kilo for almost a year, and only now have I gotten the time and focus to attempt to anthropomorphize him. I'm so happy with it, He looks incredible and I love him more than ever.

AND YES, HE HAS MUTTONCHOPS AND THEY ARE AWESOMEdontjudgemelol
