bee fly girl

i went back to the black and white painting and did a draw over to see how she looked with linework

yeah i know she could not actually fly but i figured sexy would sell better and be more fun. also with a character like Shesheik, her wings are technically just vestigial and an evolutionary hold over from when her race could fly .

Fly free little bee fly free! And if you need any more help with the flowers, feel free to ask. Changing subject... are we really asking about the aerodynamicity of an anthro bee?! Obviously i *can* appreciate a design which manages to look plausible. But they often are not sexy. (though... if you want to explore designs like that... do feel free. I love people trying out to design alien bodies.) Humans were not meant to fly, so obviously making something "look human" (especially "sexy human") and being "human sized" means they will not be good at flying, swimming, or whatever the original animal could do. It's like asking if Aeromorphs or Anthro Birds can fly or stuff like that. Obviously they should not. And even if... not in any way which would be useful or fast. If they can still do whatever the original animal could do it's just wish fulfilment. Honestly the only thing i'd touch about the abdomen is the fact that too often it gets treated like it's "not solid" like if it were "just another fuzzy tail you can shove on the side with a very sharp angle" (i have the same gripe with the very same treatment being given to other very thick tails like those of sharks or lizards. A huge chunk of meat should not be treated like a huge ball of fluff on a very flexible hinged spot 😓 ... but that's just me).

i see what you mean but when i had her thorax against her legs (and as bit as it is in the 3d) it looked odd and made her seem like she had no legs

Something about the placement of the abdomen and it sticking out like this doesn't seem very... aerodynamic...especially in flight. I dunno... :-P
