it's definitely fine if the design is too humanoid-esque for your tastes, i just saw the words "praying mantis" and ran like extremely far with it ^^'

edit: i'm glad you like them!! my toyhouse favorites are here for an idea of what i like, and my likes/dislikes are here! please take as much creative liberty as you'd like, the only thing i'd say specifically is that i would prefer a flat-faced/upright design if that's okay ^^
