This is beautifully developed, like a Disney cartoon captured in a single frame! Although, you might want to include frames with buttons around the screens to convey that they're not windows, as I was confused at first. Keep up the amazing work!

Heh, yeah, I should have probably made it a bit more obvious that those are actually photographs hung up. This is actually from one of my first Illustration classes done probably around 2005? But thanks, I'm still workin' at it, trying to get better.

Brilliant piece!

Thanks! I tried to make them my own thing, but yes there is some Antz influence.

No, this is definitely original. The ops centre idea is great! I just thought the 'ants go marching' poster may have been a nod to one of the film's quite memorable scenes.

But either way, congrats on the DD!

I still don't know which movie? Antz? Anyways, that poster was actually thrown in about 30 minutes before I had to go to class and turn the project in. The space was empty and I didn't realize how distracting it was so I just put that in there. It was the first and only idea I could come up with off the top of my head, and I thought I worked well with the theme.

Yeah, the CGI one with Woody Allen.

Ah, fair enough. It fits really well.

Yeah, I remember loving that movie, but I haven't seen it since it was released on VHS...ha ha. Sure been a while. I did use some images from it for reference as well as some real images of ants and bees, but I really did attempt to put my own style into them. Hope they don't look like exact copies!
