Empusa pennata. Esta especie es característica de la Europa mediterránea. El ejemplar de la imagen es una hembra adulta. Se distingue fácilmente del macho por la forma de las antenas que en el caso de su compañero tienen forma de pluma. Fotografiar a los mántidos resulta siempre divertido, se comportan como "top models" delante de la cámara.

I've been playing the Persona 2: Innocent Sin again (PSP version), and decided to draw one of its demons. I chose Empusa, because I like my greek spectres, and because the idea of a blood-sucking demon who hops about on a single brass (or copper?) leg amuses me.

Coincidentally, I'm reminded how much I like Persona 2 (part 1 anyway; I've yet to actually play through Eternal Punishment).

A digital drawing of an Empusa, as portrayed in the videogame Persona 2: Innocent Sin. A dark-skinned, red-haired demon wearing a white leotard looks down at the viewer. Her hair is tied in pigtails, and she has a brass leg. She has a pair of rigid brass wings rising from her shoulderblades, with pale sails hanging from the segmented frame. This version of the drawing has a metallic frame, and is cropped around the head and torso.A digital drawing of an Empusa, as portrayed in the videogame Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

This version of the drawing shows the Empusa in full, standing atop a glowing golden orb.
