I tried to zip and add my zbr document for who want to experiment in the same document I worked. But it's so big. Sorry.

Hope you like this.

It looks crunchy and sweet.That's a fine bug dob.Nice texture.

You've captured beetle chitin perfectly. It has just the right specularity, along with that cool iridescence. Very nice modeling and bumping, too! The shell is really believable.

[drjjwow]

aurick is right.. its very believable,excellent job on this image... the color is just where it needs to be..

Do 14 million of them and rent them out as extras on the Mummy Three. Scarabliscious!! Kinda gets under the skin this one :)

Nice finish.

Nice beetle! The metalic skin and bluish colors are very bug-like. :tu:

[DeeVee]

I agree with Kat, that it could be a dung bug of some kind.

[Stonecutter]

That is an amazing surface quality, dOb!
