GALLERY SUBMISSION- Mechanical Bee (is it good enough?)

This is something I finished in school a couple months ago. Was wondering if it was good enough for the Gallery?

Not bad. Give it a scene with some cool lighting and let's take a look then.

That is great, the only thing I would do to fix it up is make the eyes more insect like. But the texturing and concept are great. Can you maybe make a few variations and duplicated it out. A swarm of these buggers coming at you would be awesome. Great job on the texture and color concept.

Looks good, but the wings have no real structure. Looks like a texture is only applied. While it won't matter while those buggers are flappin in the breeze, it doesn't look finished standing still.

Looks great, the wings need a little bit more work....they are not shining enough...the look doesn't fit...reminds me of my own wasp project some time ago..for a contest here on SM..was worth a second place... user added image
