The Royal Colors' Beetle

Published:

Description

:D Finished this mini-painting (5x6.5, on some thin cardboard) today, a try at some realism with acrylics. I don't think there are beetles in existence that have coloring like this, but I figured the royal purple and gold combo would look good on a shiny beetle shell. I can see where my comic-ish style is trying to fight its way through still, but I think that makes it look better, sort of a realistic/comic mix. :)

Only mistake is that the shadow under the beetle is bigger than the beetle itself. :oops: Not too bad of a mistake, though, considering how nice the bug turned out.

That is a cool looking beetle (: I wouldn't be surprised if there was a beetle with this coloring (seeing as about one in five animals is a beetle or so) out there...

Insects are so awesome ^_^
