The
beak on the pelican caught my eye and after I had isolated
it from the rest of the image, it reminded me of a segment
of an insect leg. The legs on the bug, as well as the
mandibles and the tail extensions are made from modified
pelican beaks. The rest of the bug was created ad hoc.
Leaf brushes were used for the greenery and a gravel fill
was used to create the ground surface.
