I thought about doing this in January, but never got around to actually modeling insects in Maya. So I asked my friend which beetle I should create, and he recommended Scarabaeus sacer (the infamous Egyptian "Scarab" beetle). You know, unlike The Mummy and Prince of Persia would have you believe, these beetles are a type of dung beetle, not flesh eating terrors of the desert. In fact, I think they're cute.
This is my second attempt; the first time I neglected the angle of the back, which would have led to problems when I textured it. If it turns out nicely, I might try to pose it with some dung. XD
Any suggestions?
