This is just a delightful idea, very appealing and very well done! Excellent technique for the strands of hair on the furry face! Thanks for sharing!

Very up-close in areas and fine digital Macro work. The yellows are vivid with nice hairy representations in both the bee's circle and outsides. The browns, blacks, and grays are nice too. But the oval pouch, bug-like confuses me a little. Yet fine legs and work as a whole. Best wishes in the contest.

    Hi Glena thanks for your review. I don?t think my updated version showed when you reviewed.

    Note: I didn?t draw legs. I did do the mandibles and antennas. Mandibles considered the main mouthpart that worker bees use to bite or chew parasites, including mites and wax moths in the colony.

    I?m not sure what you mean by oval pouch?

    Thank you for your review

    Fine work, but I didn't know what the black, oval bug-like was. Sorry, my ignorance of this. Still fine digital work.

Cool!
I don't understand anything about the techniques involved in 'digital art' but I always enjoy Insect Imagery and your 'macro' presentation of this Bee's face looks Great as far as I'm concerned!
'Good Show',my friend!

Love your close-up of the bumblebee head. The detail is very cool with all the hairs you had to draw. The highlighted eye is pretty awesome too! No trouble trying to figure out what you drew. I think the image is awesome! Good Luck in the Art Contest! :o) Helvi

I don't think you could get any closer like this, because even the eyes would not show. LOL This is actually quite an amazing digital painting, and I especially like the fine textures you have brought out, and the shine in the eye.

The very tight framing works well, and the head is almost filling the whole picture. I think this is a great looking and well done digital painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This could be an up close macro photograph! You've captured the detail so well it's lifelike. I can almost feel the texture of the little guys' "fur". Well done!

It fascinates me to know that this super close up of the bumblebee is digitally created!
Very nice work to show the shape and structure of the head of the bee, it's eyes , and the fuzzy texture too!
Well applied colors and tones to bring this bee to life.
Well arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that bee which looks like an alien!! Like the fine detail. Well done and good luck!
