Illustration Friday - "Insect"

Right on the heels of my first Illustration Friday entry, here is my second. This week's subject is "insect". I have had the thought of a beetle in my mind for awhile, so this was the impetus. The beetle is based on a photo of the real thing to get the anatomy right, but the colors are pure fantasy. I have always loved those Egyptian scarabs—beetles made from gold and precious stones.

    Terry,

    I see by your entries that you are still a world class night owl.

  3. I'll answer Gerrie here. The piece is approximately 8 x 14 (inches). I say "approximately" because I trimmed the image in Photoshop and added the black border. In real life it hasn't yet been trimmed and finished.
