These are amazing, however a bit overpriced. No offense.

I'll lower the price a bit.

I agree. At first I thought these were the product of some app, and then I found that they were drawn.....

Yes I did, but tracing the outline was the only was to get all features perfect and accurate.

Well, here's to doing manual labor! Cheers!

I know. The hairs and nodes are near impossible freehanded. Unless you're Edward Osborne Wilson.

The super major turtle head ants would look cool. I can't remember the scientific name. I could zoom out for some of the pics on my phone so my bad if you already have it. Anyway those are awesome.

Turtle Ants, or as they're scientifically referred to as Cephalotes, are certainly some of the coolest out there. I've considered doing some, but at the moment I'm laser focused on Strumigenys for some upcoming projects I'm working on. However, if you would like to commission me to do a species of Cephalotes, I'd be down to do that. Here's a list of all the Cephalotes species if you'd like to commission me; https://www.antweb.o...otes&rank=genus

Wow I had no idea there were that many types of that species. Right now with the holidays coming up and 3 of my and my girlfriend's kids having birthdays coming up really soon I won't really have much extra cash. But after that I think I would like one idk what species yet but I will look through them some more.

Sorry it's been a few days but I finished up another species. This time the South American Strumigenys azteca.

[Ferox_Formicae]

Finished up Strumigenys diabola.

 

Strumigenys diabola is a South American species known for having the longest mandibles of any Strumigenys species.

[Ferox_Formicae]

Finished Strumigenys cacaoensis.

 

Strumigenys cacaoensis is a large Central American species that can often be found living in arboreal environments such as tree branches and holes within living trees.
