Ant

Hy,
Started this yesterday, about 6 hours of works allready. Mostly as modelling exercise.
Things to work on:
The head
The leg joints

The body started out as a plane but after each body segment I restart with a circle.
The upper legs started out as cilinders the rest were plains.

Main question, is it wide enough?

So her we go:
Orthogonal view
Top and Bottom
Unsmoothed wire
Smoothed wire
Reference

Cheers, goin to bed now (2.50am)

the antennae

cheers

so, are you shooting for microspoe effect? or is that just temporary textures? the model is looking good, keep it up

That is just temporary BUT having seen ugly bugs turned into gold to go under the Scanning electron Microscope, I will probably try to make it gold with a nice nail true its body…

Ok, cool looking model

Nice work!
Parts of the model remind me of “A Bug’s Life.”
