I totally LOVE the look of this and the bright colors. Absolutely, beautiful!

WB...better than most. SBS would be even better.
Oops, just looked at sources...2 premasked images? Oh please... .

i love this...

Very nice work.

Great Job.

CMYK, pre-masked stock from CG Textures is allowed. I once got a mod message telling me that ALL stock we find on CGTextures IS allowed. This entry is very well made author. Very good job on the colors. GL !

@ Lamantine. Yeah it's allowed, altough it's a bit lazy :P
Hah well I like the Image though !

Nice image. Creative. Well done

for the trust ,it is amzing work

Great entry! Welcome back!

The "plates" on the side of the face look too contrived, her nose looks really big, and her neck looks too squished up with her chin disappearing.

Love the color work and the top of the head, but the overall effect tries too hard.

Oh I love it! This is great , nice and beautiful, nicee nice entry...

thanks a lot for you kind feedback. in deed, the premasked images are for lazy people, but believ it or not I really needed those two images 'cause I think they fit well in the overall image. Thanks a lot again

Well I didn't ment bad when I said it was a bit lazy
Just for the record I think this is one of the best entries till now in this contest!
(I must admit this is really my style)

You haven't been bad at all. your feedback is useful and true :P thanks a lot that you like my image and i'm glad that we share the same artistic views. have a great inspirational day

Intensely original and well done image! You have created a thing of beauty! Bravo!

Congrats on third place!

Beautiful

Nice work! I only see one eye in the reference pic, though.

Wonderful work. . Nice to see you back .

Nice result. CMYK has a point (not sure though if it was meant as eyes), but you can keep it like 2 eyes (as if he's looking at you), but in that case you have to put the antennas a bit different (now the head would look too twisted). For the rest I agree with Nasir . Good luck!

Hi all. Thanks for the suggestions and comments. Actually the eyes, I deliberately created like that. The antenna position I'll rework ASAP. Thanks again for the useful comments.

wonderful detail -- shadow and lighitng look very nice

color scheme is flawless

Nice creation of the insect! One thing with the colors, the background is kinda covering the insect, that it doesnt stand out but gets lost in the back ground. I think it will look more powerful if you gave the insect just one color that stands out. Maybe just silver + a little yellow. Good luck!

i agree with Ressiv's comment..IMO, step 11 in the sbs is way better..but nonetheless, good work and GL!

kalaki.....

Thank you Ressiv & fatz8016 for the suggestion. I incorporated those corrections. Thank you.
