Macro: Turtle

The nose riminds me of the finger holes in a bowling ball



Insect Photography- Ref Shapes & Textures: Cockroach

This is only a very small one, I will continue to try find a bigger one so I can get better pictures.



Insect Photography- Ref Shapes & Textures: Bee

I love watching Bees do this. If theres a bee not moving very much then it's likely out of energy. I learnt on QI once that if you put a blob of honey in front of them they eat some and it gives them enough energy to fly home. I've tried it a few times and funny enough it does exactly that. Watching their little tongues lick it up fascinates me. Here are some pictures of it.

This one shows their head, I think it looks like they have one of those black dome cctv cameras on their head, that idea could be taken further.

The little tabs sticking out of the sides would vibrate like wings taking off if my breath reached the insect. Seemed like some small sensors.

Insect Photography- Ref Shapes & Textures: Woodlouse

I've decided to use my macro lens again when the opportunity strikes, in this house I have noticed a lot of insects I've never seen before and it intrigues me what they look like up-close and personal. I know the studies are out there and all you have to do is Google it but it's not that same as doing it yourself. So I'll post some images of insects as I come across them. The shapes and textures are incredible and would be great in character design. So I'll post these for future reference :)
