Description Well its another entry, but a bee instead of a sheep - this idea has a little history behind it too though
It started with my mum, ages ago, wanting a bee logo for somehting, and being unable to find any decent images fair enough, so i made a nice big vector bee. I never really finished it though, and it just kinda ended up looking like a bee, but probably only because it was fat and had yellow stripes; it was more a toon than a real representation i suppose.
Anyway, i was glancinc through my collection of random vector art, and found the scraps (iv submitted it at [link] ) and i thought of the parralels to my sheep, so i opened up GIMPshop and, having printed off my big bee, messed about with a few pixels untill i had an even more styalised bee than my vector work, but on a mini 24 * 24 canvas. Its not as good as i would like, and it doesnt really look much like a bee, but its better than most entries iv seen so far in the emote contest, and it certainly makes a change from circles with faces drawn on them animated at 1 frame every 3 seconds.

needs some animation really
shadings a bit dire
made entirely with 1 pixel pencil tool in gimpshop ( that program rocks)
all visual reference was my own work.
not traced or an enhancement of a resized image.
its not meant to look realistic so dont complain.
could definatly doo with some animation, people dont notice the faults in moving things so much, just look at the cardbord cut outs they get away with using in films, and i swear they run round in circles sometimes while they are shooting each other off the back of jetskiis...

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ: it flies

Haha itΒ΄s cool and has a unique style

It certainly looks like a bee to me. But yeah.. I guess a bee emoticon really needs moving wings Are you going to make an animated version too ?
