man, you are so good at this realistis style of drawing. looks alot like a photo. :)
*gives cookies* hoorah!

looking good. some of the lower leg parts seem a bit off. I'm not sure why, but there is a paper cutout feel to some of the edges that makes the beetle appear to float above the leaf rather than be on it

Thanks.. I had that impression, too, but I keep staring at it trying to figure out what to do about it.. anyone?

That thing looks so real! Wonderful job. :D

It's a photo... no it's... a computer drawing >o<!!
That's so cool, 'specially since it's so realistic ~_^

very much awesomeness davin :) i think the floating look has to do with how far away the shadow is from the lil bug...makes it look like the lil fella is above it, not beside it

DID SOMEBODY SAY BEA...? Oh, right, 2 'e's... ;)

You just keep getting better Poppa-this is great. I really like that beetle shininess too :)

I think the bug looks super even though some of the shadows are a little off, the bug is terrific :)

But..Aubs..what do I do to fix it

The shadows under the legs look choppy. They need to look like one solid shadow and connect.
The bug lools absolutely incredible. Impressive

Awesome Pic!!!!!!!!
I always wanted to know the the name of that bug.
I see them around alot.

poppa, this is a beautiful, shiny bug! I don't usually really like bugs that much, but I can't help but like poppa's.

wow, that is really good davinci! I like how real you managed to make the shell look, though I kinda wished the leafe it was sitting on wasn't so blurry. It's still good though to say the least. :D

Thanks.. I gotta go back in and fix those crappy shadows and put some more details in the leaf.. I'll probably mess it all up.. but here goes..

Wanted to comment on this before bed. This came out GREAT Davi!! You just keep getting better all the time. :}

(((Anna)) tankies!

Hehe, very nice little bug. Black and shiny. I love bugs! >:)
|XOD|

Yes.. that's lots better, poppasweetie. :)

bugs are fun to eat >O)...amazing job on this dave <O)

Awww! It's adorable! I really like the highlights you used on the thorax and abdomen.

I really hate bugs but, had to comment. The shadows really make it stand out against the green leaf background. I like the detail and the clean crisp lines. I keep waiting (hoping) for it to quickly skitter away. Definitely one of your best. Seeing huge improvements in your work lately.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions, and for the nice comments.

Hey this came out great! You're getting better and better..keep up the good work :)

yes, much much better! :claps:

Ty ty lol thanks..

This is excelent ((Dave)). The shadows look much better. Beautiful work. ;o)

Thanks Sindy... (it's still creepy lookin hehe)

Nice job. bugs are nice. sometimes. very rarely.
