Hopefully the analogy is obvious. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The flower was created by making afreehand polygon of one petal, this was then extruded and slightly beveled. The petal was then rotated slightly. Then copied and positioned repeatedly til the full circle. The center of the flower is just a deformed sphere with a bump map applied. The bee was formed from several deformed spheres and extruded circles. Custom textures were manually created in Paint Shop Pro 4.0 for the background, bee body, and wings.
