"again and again and again and again, do it again, do it again..."

sorry had to make the ref ^^;

Love the wasp! O 3 O

Don't see many bugs on FA. So that's unique and the pic itself is so well done. So cute n sweet .

Insect characters are always so cool to look at and you did an amazing job. I also really love how crisp the background looks and the way you did the grass especially.

Ref for the ref XD

random insect question...
if you where to draw the underside of the bee would draw it's spherical's (the holes it breaths through)?

Considering I'm no expert on insects, I'd probably mess up any of the anatomical details unless provided with some really detailed diagrams/macro photographs for reference. :P

I would say in a more zoomed out piece like this they wouldn't be apparent enough even in the natural world to notice. Also, spiracles are often on the intersection between the sternites and tergites, so more on the lower side rather then underside. For example, the spiracles that are most apparent on this wasp photo is those on the thorax, were as the abdomen spiracles are still visible but less noticeable: http://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/gotpe.....r-wasp-big.jpg. Not to mention that realistically, if a wasp was to actually wear a jacket like that his brain would be significantly deprived of oxygen and suffocate, most of the tracheal pathways attached to the thoracic spiracles X3.

That's a pretty cool design for a wasp, and a very thorough answer to that question.

Thank you! It's my partner  OneX 's character, I've always enjoyed it X3! Ha ha thanks, being an entomologist it's my job XP!

Heh, this made me miss my Invertebrates class in University. My last class was that Wednesday.

Spiracles* They're not always very obvious on wasps. They're usually just little holes.

dispite i have a fear of wasps... this is a very good looking wasp.

cute x3

The anatomy is pretty amazing considering you don't really draw insects :)

For a first that's incredible! One note though. Needs mandibles. And no nose. XD

Personal character decisions, part of the anthropomorphism X3.

Thanks so much again, it's soooo amazing X3!

That is the CUTEST wasp. omg

For the first attempt at a bee of sorts, he looks really cool! I'll have to explore something similar but with a more humanoid lower half. I do love the tall, skinny and lanky look though.

WASP D:

wow..... This piece must of taken you for ever to do! Wings and Insects! damnnnnnnn. An artist's nightmare, but you pulled it off amazing! And yes, Birds and Bee's is a very appropriate title for this.

That's actually cute, and this is coming from a guy who HATES wasps.

HAHA I get it xD

Breaks out wasp repellant

Silly Demi that's not a bee that's a wasp.... Silly Demi.

Aside from my horrible fear of wasps this is fantastically adorable! <3

Shhhh you're both wrong but you didn't hear it from me ~vO!

Ok this made me laugh.

Speaking personally, that is the first, anthropomorphic insect character that I have ever seen that DID NOT MAKE Me want to run away because of all the sharp, pointy, spiky or what have you bits that might otherwise adorn his or her body.

it's simply an INCREDIBLE piece of detailed work hon. he REALLY IS. he is both soft and easy to the eyes, his lines connect wonderfully in a smooth flow and he's rather marvelously gentle in appearance.

BRAVO hon.. BRAVO!!

This... so much this. Especially the title. I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry, for you. So you can experience it vicariously ;P

Omfg
Just awesome!!

This is great! :> I like how even though the two are very different creatures (mammel and insectoid) they still look like they belong in the same picture together. great work!

Bug <3

Not often you see insects around, really nicely done. They're a very cute couple :D

Holy shit, this is BEAUTIFUL. :O

Bzz. :3 Anyway, nicely done, and just cuddles is not necessarily a bad thing! Look at them, they are having a nice time!

Very lovely!

Ahh hahaha. Cuute :D.
