My first year of streaming has honestly helped me learn so much-! 🤠 What these numbers and stats don't really show is how much I feel less afraid to open up and be myself. I think that's the thing I'm most grateful to streaming for. Here's to next year with more Mantis~! #twitchrecap #twitch
Graphic of a Twitch annual recap. It shows that SilliestMantis gained 52 followers this year and had 342 hours watched. His top categories were art, expedition 33, rpg maker MZ, the Oblivion remaster, and Roblox. He had 70 total streams and 6.72 thousand chats received.

Raining at work today and it's kinda slow. I never really draw but felt like doodling a little something cause art is good for the soul and mine needed it 👍
A very rough sketch of a mantis in a cowboy hat under a leaf sheltering himself from the rain. Large clouds loom above while the Mantis is sheltered on the ground in the grass tipping his hat to the viewer.

Four most anticipated games of 2026 and beyond! 🤠

(Luna was totally right for the Elder Scrolls hype)

- The Elder Scrolls VI (Todd willing 🙏)
- The Blood of Dawnwalker (vampire good)
- Subnautica 2 (hope the early access is quick before launch)
- Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (goofy and fun)
Promo art for Elder Scrolls 6. The logo is the title written out in text over a landscape shot of coastal mountains and hills. Promo art for the Blood of Dawnwalker. It's the logo with the title below over a picture of the main character. He is wearing old timey black leather armor and is half lighted half coated in shadow while holding a dagger in the lighted side's hand. That arm also has runes carved into it. The shadowed side looks more menacing with a glowing eye and claws out. The background is the shot of a castle town also shown being half in day and half in night. Promo art for Subnautica 2. The title is written out over a background of two scuba divers shining a flashlight in a dark, undersea alien setting. A giant underwater creature looms in the background obfuscated by the darkness and water clarity. It's tentacles seemingly reaching for the divers. Promo art for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It has the written out title covering most of the background. The background consists of a arial shot of the in game small island that the game takes place on. There is a beach with some characters on it and a few different buildings behind the logo for the game.

Got my fiancé their bowl and kissed them goodbye 🫡 they shouldn't have to see what I'm about to do to this meal 🤤

Had so much fun at Halloween Horror Nights last night and am super tired so no stream today, be back Tuesday gamers 😁👍
The entrance to the Five Nights at Freddy's maze at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. It is a facade of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place with people in front. The main center area of Nintendo Land at Universal Studios. It is a layout consisting of different Mario levels and characters including a grassy level, various enemies (pirhanna plants, thwomps, and goombas), and a Bowser's Castle facade.

Thank you so much for popping in today cowpokes~! VOD is up if you missed us having some fun playing silly roblox games and some Tony Hawk Pro Skater~! Have a great night and, as always, happy trails~! 🤠
SilliestMantis' new model is posing for a picture in front of a cartoon western style saloon that is in front of a sunset with cacti around the front and sides. There is a cartoon bull skull over the swinging front doors and a small preying mantis in a cowboy outfit on the overhang above the door. There is also a small set of cartoon style swinging doors on the overhang, presumably for the preying mantis.

P.S. Here is the map we worked on~!

Top down view of a tavern. There is an entryway with a red carpet and wooden bench. Through some double saloon doors are tables with red runners scattered about with food, gingerbread cookies, and centerpieces on them. The bar in the north section is long and has festive garland around it's edges. The shelves behind the bar are stocked with various goods and beverages. There is a fireplace/conversation pit section in the northeeast area with a sofa, rug, seating, and big fireplace. In the southwestern area is an elevated fancy VIP area with more luxurious food and decorative elements. Northwest is a table with bowls of mulled wine and a door to the storage area/kitchen. Southeast is a large christmas tree with presents around it. And finally, the outside of this cozy scene is frosty with snowy bushes and trees surrounding the sides of the building.

Holy moly~! Didn't realize I was so late noticing a third like 🫡 but my 100 percent correct take for underrated game is easily Sleeping Dogs (2012) 🤠 cannot recommend it enough, but you'll be sad forever that there's no sequel like me 😭

Much obliged to y'all that popped into the saloon for a spell~! 🌵 We made some great progress on our little Elven old capital zone~! 🏜️ Feel free to check out the VOD, and hope you can join us next time~! Happy trails~! 🤠
P.S. Here are the before and after pics 👀
An elven themed complex as seen from above. The buildings have grey walls and green accents. There are 8 ornate buildings in a walled off cliffside area with a lake at the top. There are also small farms off in one corner and a dock on a cliff. A much more detailed version of the previous map. An elven themed complex as seen from above. The ornate buildings and battlements have grey walls and green accents. There are 8 ornate buildings in a walled off cliffside area with a lake at the top. There are also small farms off in one corner and a dock on a cliff. There are autumnal oak trees littered throughout the walled off zone and a space for animal husbandry. There are also three residential districts with 2 being a bit more destitute and one being well off. In the lake at the top of the cliffs there is an underwater abandoned city that has an air of mystery about it.

Much obliged to y'all for poppin' into the saloon today~! 🤠 We made some awesome progress on the map and fleshed it out much further~! 🏜️ VOD is up if you'd like to see the process (and hear some lore) and as always, happy trails~! 🌵
PS: Here's our before and after shots of the map for this stream~!👀
Digital art of a peninsula with rivers running through a muddy flat landscape. There are some buildings/ruins scattered about the map and a cliff with a big building and small farm on it. A much more detailed version of the previous map with jungles, cliffs edges added, a huge damn, more detailed water, and a more realized village on the rivers with docks and clear pathways

Much obliged to y'all who popped into the saloon today~! 🏜️ We were able to get a very rough start/outline on a couple of region maps (seen below) which was super fun~! 🌵 The VOD is up if you missed it, and I hope to see you in the next one~! Happy trails, cowpokes~! 🤠
An elven-style walled city as seen from above. There are green and grey buildings, walls, and structures dotted around a plains-like area. There is also a farm within the walls and a large dammed-off basin at the top of a cliff. A muddy marshland with many estuaries and buildings on top. There are a couple of ancient stone structures around the area hinting at it being a place of great importance to a long-forgotten society.
