Critiques
The work itself is exceptionally well done. You've mimicked the colors of the respective subjects so beautifully that you'd swear these came straight from the set of a professional fantasy film. The bird/bee catches my eye immediately in the way you've webbed the wings to an insectile perfection and also added that bit of 'furriness' to the stripes very reminiscent of the fuzziest bumble bee.
The only thing I might have attempted to affect better would be to add more of a traditional feather look to the bee/bird. In the wings especially. It would be truly exceptional if you were to layer real feathers over the bee/bird's wing structure to make it truly texturally dynamic.
Not only is this a very creative concept, but the execution is meticulous and the effort that you've put in is quite evident. You've also got a knack for photographing your work very professionally which is a huge benefit if you intent to capitalize on your skills in the future!
Overall a great piece and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
