((highly detailed:1. 3)), ((digital drawing:1. 1)) ((illustration:1. 3)) A moonlit bedroom bathed in cold silver light, the atmosphere dense with eerie stillness. The girl lies motionless in bed, her dark hair cascading over the pillow, her breathing slow and steady beneath the soft folds of a slightly rumpled blanket. Shadows stretch unnaturally across the thick carpet as a massive praying mantis perches at the foot of the bed, its elongated limbs poised in unnatural elegance. Its bulbous, reflective eyes gleam under the window’s glow, antennae twitching as it silently observes her, exuding an unsettling yet patient presence. The wooden table beside the bed holds a simple glass and a jar of water, condensation glistening in the dim light. Framed portraits line the wallpapered wall, their frozen gazes locked in perpetual silence. The furniture, the air itself, feels heavy, untouched by time. The night beyond the window is endless, the pale moon casting an otherworldly glow, illuminating the creature’s exoskeleton with ghostly precision. The mantis does not move. It only watches. style of Gil Elvgren, colored sketch in the style of ck- ccd
