Thanks!          

I loved the colors, nice job!

Lol thanks

 Awww, it's so cute and kind of chubby =)
Great coloring, reminds me of NES a bit.
 

 Thanks by the way for your comment, I agree about the dithering. Though it was done in an attempt to provide a slight transparency to the wing, I think I may end up just giving it solid color with a couple shades to show texture.

 Sorry forgot to include references, I pretty much just looked up honey bee on google images and used the first page of results

Very cool. Good color choice imho. Did you use a ref or are you some sort of sadistic bee lover or have superb memorisation?

Only thing that bothers me is the tranparent dithering in the wings when I view it on a dark background.

 most impressive!
