Honeybee

Description

I really despise my overuse of colors sometimes. This picture was very nice without the crazy lighting, but oh well.

I'm having this artistic obsession with honeybees. They're so pretty and cute. I'm practicing on my realism, but developing a different kind of style at first is hard. You can still feel a "manga" atmosphere from it don't you? Oh well, enough with criticizing my own art!

This was made with Coreal Painter IX. (I finally got it! YAH! *jumps 1/2 feet in the air*) xD

I despise depression, so I despise myself when I'm depressed, but hey, it happens. Let me give you guys a story that I made up in 10 seconds about this picture.

A girl bought a batch of flowers for her deceased mother. When she looks closely inside the flowers, she sees illusion of honeybees. *3* BBBBzzzZzzzzzZZZZZ

Koji isn't in this picture! D; I'm so sorry! ;__; Next picture....>;[ THE ORANGE KAT PRODIGY WILL SURVIVE!

luckylace222 on November 10, 2009, 12:00:53 AM

TRANSLATE! Translate that setence! Oh the suspence! Does it mean, "Where is Koji?!" or "Koji is not there?!" D; I'm so sorry about not putting him in! SPEAKING of kitties, you need to draw your cat Storm in human form and I need to draw my cats in human form for our art trade! D;

aeris7dragon on April 13, 2010, 1:53:14 PM

Hey..... you never did your half..... YAY FOR REMINDATION!!!!!!

Still love your art, BTW!! Freakin' awesome!!!! XD

aeris7dragon on November 10, 2009, 5:09:30 AM

It means, "Koji isn't there?! WHY?!?!?!?!"

OMG I totally forgot!!!....again. I'll probably do it at work today!! XD

Tinner1214 on January 31, 2010, 12:06:55 PM

;P Eh? How is it weird? xD Tell me! ;U Thank-you so much!

TotalWeirdo666 on November 20, 2009, 8:04:33 AM

love how you did the hair

firehead on November 11, 2009, 6:46:45 AM

I'd comment this in a crit way. But I cant think of anything. *brain dead*

Its just amazing, I just love the way the colors glow. <3

Some of them even look like worms! :D

luckylace222 on November 12, 2009, 1:00:41 PM

Oh please do! Please criticize! I recently has this trouble with this user that creativity criticized me at first but kinda badgered me later. ;__; I need honest input.

If you will not criticize me first, I will give you a head start!

-The lips are strangely shaped.
-The light is too blinding that it almost takes away from the honeybee(center of picture)
-There is this annoying brown spot near her right eye
-the black border is almost unnecessary; it was a flamboyant moment to put it in I suppose
-Her hair looks like a wig she bought off a fancy store! P;

And thus, my criticism opens my eyes to how much I have learned from insulting myself!

Titten on November 18, 2009, 1:52:10 PM

no no no no you are all wrong its perfect the colours drew my eyes to the bee in the focus of the picture the hiar is beautiful it does not look no where near a wig

Titten on November 18, 2009, 1:58:01 PM

and the border (sorry if my speling sucks mroe than normal) thhe boreder hods it all together the night lodning the "firefly's" light around the beautiful girl and the bright colours at the bottomat just perfect in this picture i wish i could be this lovely girl in your wonderufl picture but i would say try to drawy the hair a little cloweser and a little more detailed

Keoko-Mikomi on November 13, 2009, 7:06:59 AM

Actually, contrary to what you just said, I believe the black border around the picture adds a unique vibe to the scene. It almost seems as if she's looking out from a window in a cave or something.

luckylace222 on November 13, 2009, 7:27:26 AM

I can see where you're coming from. Actually, I can REALLY see where you're coming from! If I picture the picture without the black border, it looks a little bland. I guess it's what keeps the center of focus on the honeybee. Thank-yous o much! I realize that now!

firehead on November 12, 2009, 1:02:23 PM

I seem to be able to crit some, I just cant do it all the time. :c

Prodigies on November 17, 2009, 9:32:02 AM

As usual, you deliver gorgeous work. -w-Awesomeness.

luckylace222 on November 17, 2009, 10:27:43 AM

Thanks Jessie! ;__; I miss your comments! *will treasure this one* :PPP

Prodigies on November 17, 2009, 10:29:17 AM

*laughs* XD

Tuntun422 on November 12, 2009, 12:43:57 PM

It's wonderful.
I like the feel of this drawing & the bright colors you used.

It's strange but when I see this drawing it sort of seems like it would go very well with Owl city's song:"Fireflies".

I'm not sure if you've heard of the song or the guy who sing it but this picture just sort of brought it to my mind.

Anyway great work.

luckylace222 on November 12, 2009, 12:56:36 PM

OH. MY. FREAKIN. GOD. Tuntun, you are such an observant GOD!

I actually thought about the Firefly song by Owl City the whole song I was drawing this. It was the compete THEME of my picture. I based the mythical and magician feeling from it and everything, and I was going to make it a firefly, but it turned out looking like a bee. ;__;

I was going to say this in my description, but I feared being off topic too much. This means my picture at least represents a little of what I wanted, and you are an extremely observant and attentive person! <3 Thank-you so much for your comment!

Gety on November 11, 2009, 1:53:19 AM

Very colorful as always, your style is unique indeed x3

luckylace222 on November 11, 2009, 4:20:11 AM

xD My style of blinding colors indeed! Thanks a lot!

sugar2 on November 10, 2009, 8:11:24 AM

Beautiful! Don't worry, I love the colors. I think it makes the picture feel more fantasy like you know? Great job!

WH2007 on November 9, 2009, 1:27:53 AM

Wonderful eyes and the expression. I love the colors too. Now you are certainly one of the best artists on this site. Keep it up! :D

luckylace222 on November 9, 2009, 4:18:42 AM

Dx Ah no! Absolutely not! I'm not up there just yet! ;P I have a feeling you are though, because I can tell you have more passion in your art than I do! I've requested one of your art to be featured before...]; Too bad they didn't put it up.

Gartenschlauch on November 7, 2009, 4:28:00 PM

okay really shame on you,i mean you are drawing on photoshop and that with a tablet and even so your drawings look like elementary schoolkid drawings...here look at this and learn something,she's drawing only on Paint and without a tablet http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-772840.html

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 11:50:27 PM

O__O Ummm yeah....I know her. She's a good friend. Shame on me for what? D; I worked hard on this. I wouldn't necessary call my work elementary level. I assure you there's a broad line between a simple crayon drawing and a 11-hour digital drawing.

Different artists use different mediums and art styles. Don't compare my art to others.

Also, shame on me for what now? For using Coreal Painter?

Gartenschlauch on November 8, 2009, 1:10:40 PM

I hope my strict uneccessary boredom critics make you work harder ^^

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 10:13:14 PM

;U I can't work harder if you don't answer my questions.

Ishida16 on November 7, 2009, 4:35:12 PM

Ok first of all i cant find the kittysecond i think its good except the really bright light under her favce, it like messes me up when im trying to look at the picture..... Other than that awesome job!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you drew a picture ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its like three in the morning ahhhhhh ima go to sleep now!

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 11:56:39 PM

;P HOLA BRANDON! Have you fixed your depression yet? >;U You better have!! *pets* ;PPPPPP Read over your Anat notes! Get ready to pwn Rocio on the battlefield of medical science! (LOL, I find it funny we're plotting against her in grades)

D; God dang it, I left out Koji AGAIN!!! DX The pictures I've recently uploaded were drawn at-the-moment and not planned. I guess that's why I never remember Koji.

GO TO SLEEP! Well, actually I think you're awake by now. My mom and dad said I look way too tired and they say it's because I don't get enough sleep, but I really do. It's probably the stress of grades that's making me feel like a zombie. D; MAN! I totally like that bright light! It's there to show an awesome, magical dimension of floura and bumblebees! Like a portal! If it blinds you, that means it's working! HAHAMAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Ishida16 on November 8, 2009, 7:39:40 AM

Hola Buu...umm well no not really I havent done anything about depression yet...I have too much junk flying around in my head so it is kinda hard to read over my anatomy notes but i am!!!

Koji... I have to remember that name... well its fine its just a game i like to play to see how long it takes me to find him/her... Btw a person named Jason said that you should be famous and that your work powns... thats really good coming from him...

I ended up not sleeping but oh well... I feel im being brainwashed at school... its soo exaushting,And i do like the light being there its just my eyes get easily distracted and no matter how hard i try they always go to that bright light... No offense intended it just hurt the first time i looked at it, but i kinda see how it adds to the overal quality of the picture so just ignore me..

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 8:43:57 AM

Whooaa no way I will not ignore you! I think you're suffering from the same thing Rocio and me had to go through last year. You have hard classes, especially Anat that makes oyu feel overwhelmed and no matter how hard you tudy, you can't get the grade you want or everything isn't going the way you want it to. But don't worry, everyone else is going through the same thing you are, you just have to pucker up and keep going! ;U If you want, we can support each other all the way! We're all int eh same boat!

Ishida16 on November 8, 2009, 1:00:44 PM

ehhh thats one part but i know everybody is having trouble with that... ugugugugugug well ill try to go to sleep now... see you thursday

Rubius on November 7, 2009, 1:23:49 PM

*hugs you* Don't worry the depression will go away, and then you will have happy story thingies again. :D

Anyway, this is a great picture. I like the colors and the use of realism. The lighting makes it look almost dream-like.

I can't find the kitty. :'( I've been looking for 5 minutes.

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 11:59:22 PM

;__; KOJI isn't there. I"M SO SORRY. I"M SO SORRY!!! DX I knew there was something off with my pictures! Kojo's not even there! ARGH!

I'm sorry, I will make it up to you. ;U Uhhh soon! When I make another amazing picture! Soon! Eventually....very soon/quasi soon. Wait what? Yeah. Thanks for the comment!

;P And my depression has in fact gone away! Thanks! I didn't read your comment til the day after, but it involuntarily made me feel better! YAH! I just felt really guilty about grades yesterday. ;__;

Rubius on November 8, 2009, 5:48:40 AM

I'm glad I could involuntarily make you happy. :D

scooter_girl_Haruko on November 7, 2009, 10:13:11 PM

I really like your style. It's so sketchy. and her eyes are so beautiful! You're a great artist and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!!!
XD *glompz and honeybuns for all*

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 12:25:29 AM

xD YESHHH!! Never! I will never let other people bring me down on what I am proud of! TICK TOK TICK TOK man, I'm listening to tick Tok by Kesha. ;U She is soo amazing...

Anyways! @_@ Back on topic, thank-you so much! I did the picture on 1 layer, so the sketch is still evident. ;O Do you think the light is too bright? @__@ My friend said the light made the picture a little confusing. P; I may have to becareful with my lighting next time.

scooter_girl_Haruko on November 8, 2009, 5:46:08 AM

I think the light is what ties it all together. It doesn't bother me at all. It's very nice and I don't think you should change a thing!! XD

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 5:12:13 AM

;O That hair took forever! It almost looks out of place for the face, thank-you so much!!!

HHAHAHA actually, I was gong to draw a real live bee with the long legs and abdomen, but I freaked out looking at it. I pictured myself having a bee on my nose, so I changed it to a cuter looking bee to not freak out anyone else.

SweetKitty06 on November 8, 2009, 4:45:24 AM

nice one but there is really a liiittle too much light! ^^" i am sry to said that but otherwise it is AWESOMEE!! >w<

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 5:10:39 AM

xD Oh my! I knew it! Okay, I will be more careful on my lighting! Some other artists noticed the crazy lighting. D; It was actually very good without my editing it on PS. LOL, thanks so much for the comment! 8D

chichirifan92 on November 8, 2009, 3:50:00 AM

OMG!!!!! SHE'S SO ADORABLE!!!!! (the honeybee too) The pic looks just fine with the crazy lighting (it adds something to the pic, but i can't put my finger on what it is XD)

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 4:22:28 AM

xD Thank-you! I was hoping to have it as a special effect in the picture!

chichirifan92 on November 8, 2009, 4:27:00 AM

=D I think the light adds to the effect of the illusion

hvite_angel on November 8, 2009, 2:09:47 AM

Amazing pictures! Her eyes are very beautiful made! Same with hair and small details.

Very nice made!

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 3:16:53 AM

I had to look at a lot of Asian people's eyes to see if it would look okay. O; She actually reminded me of a Hawaiian girl with the flowers in her hair. Do the eyes make her look Asian to you?

hvite_angel on November 8, 2009, 4:14:41 AM

Yeah you can see the small hint of asian in here eyes, but you are right, she looks like a hawaiian girl too. Very nice, I actually didn't realize it before you told me:)

Falconlobo on November 7, 2009, 10:42:43 AM

awesome nice job on the hair colors glow effect and eyes^^

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 12:36:41 AM

Thanks!

Falconlobo on November 8, 2009, 3:28:57 AM

you're welcome^^

Takahashi2Oki on November 7, 2009, 9:59:11 AM

I love the lighting and colors! It makes it more remarkable.

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 1:28:46 AM

Thank-yous so much! Some people said the lighting as confusing though...]; Is it?

AngelKite on November 7, 2009, 11:01:15 AM

So pretty, amazing job. :D The colours add a nice touch, makes it kind of surreal. (:

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 1:28:18 AM

8D thanks so much!

SageCardcaptor on November 7, 2009, 9:34:25 AM

I love it!! The colors make it look so exuberant!! =D

I REALLY like it ^_^ I like the eyes, more practice and you'll be a MASTER OF REALISM!!! MUAHAHAHAHHAA.

[Wow...that took me like...5 minutes to type...because I'm so exhausted -__-; Having a mother making her daughter work whenever she comes down to visit from college is EXHAUSTING D: She bought a restaurant and made me work 9 hours today x_X]

-That also took me a while to type...I need some rest xD-

luckylace222 on November 8, 2009, 12:19:17 AM

xD OMG! It feels so nostalgic being able to reply to everyone like this!

D: WHY! I bet your mother wants you to never forget the pain and fun of doing chores! ;P You get money for helping out in the restraunt right? ;O One day, I will "accidentally" pop up in your family's restraunt and "accidentally" ask you to be the waver. ;P Then we can have an artistically nerdy talk about colors and painting..and stuff! HHEHEHEHE ;__; i miss you.

SatomiTakashida on November 7, 2009, 10:01:23 AM

so pwetty OO

You got corel painter!? I'm so jealous I've been planning to get that program for over a month but I'm totally broke so I have to wait till x-mas! >.>

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 10:08:57 AM

THEN the Coreal Painter God will make sure you get the best version of Coreal Painter EVER! You deserve such an amazing program! D; To believe it or not, I installed it and thee were so many controls, toolbars, and buttons that I couldn't find myself around the canvas! @__@

xD I advise reading some tutorials when you get it! Thanks so much for the comment! BTW, your avatar is so nice!

SatomiTakashida on November 7, 2009, 12:44:35 PM

ZeroMidnight on November 7, 2009, 11:01:44 AM

That is SO beautiful! I just love the bright neon colors so much! Her lips look a little odd, but otherwise this pic is gorgeous!
*faves*

(if that were me, I'd be freaking out at the bee... ^^; lol)

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 11:07:39 AM

D; MAN! I knew there was something off with those lips! Only when someone notes it to me are my fears realized! ]; I tried to use my lips as a reference but that definitely didn't wrok. Next time I do realism, I'll pay extra attention to the lips! ;P thanks for the comment!

ZeroMidnight on November 7, 2009, 11:39:15 AM

Ah ha ha, yeah I'm like that too. Only if someone mentions it do I realize.
Oh I forgot to mention I really love the hair and eyes too. :D

Animeviolingirl on November 7, 2009, 10:28:39 AM

Whoah! This is AMAZING!!!! Great job!

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 10:30:05 AM

Thanks a lot! xD

ryuuryuu on November 7, 2009, 9:37:26 AM

You despise your overuse of colors- I adore it, your colors always seem to flow and fit together in this magnificent, eye-pleasing look that really makes your art seem dream-like... I think it's amazing.

luckylace222 on November 7, 2009, 9:44:27 AM

Thank-you! Gosh, I've realized something. Maybe people criticize themselves around other people so others will try to prove them wrong and tell them they're great. I don't know...maybe I'm thinking too phycologically here, but your comment saying you liked my colors when I ddn't like my colors made me feel really happy.

;__; YOU LITTLE SAINNNTTTT~ *hugs you and doesn't let you go* Cx Thank-you! The world is bright, because I should face my fears and never let something bring me down for too long. Always keep going, no matter what! HAHHA if only i didn't have to tell myself everyday. <3<3<3

ryuuryuu on November 7, 2009, 9:53:57 AM

Hey, just remember- black is made of all the colors, it's just too dark to see, so you have to make the colors pop out on your own =P, and that is life in art.

lashanta22 on November 7, 2009, 9:40:10 AM

your use of colors is so awesome really well done
