Fantasy Insects (contest)

For this contest, the idea was to produce a piece that was a fantasy insect, something that is not in the real world, but that is made up. There are fantasy artists who have tried their hand at new species.

There are a number of winners for this contest.

There were two first place winners chosen by the Fine Art America community (as well as for second place and third place):

FIRST PLACE (tied)
"Balancing Act" by Hans Neuhart
available for sale HERE

FIRST PLACE (tied)
"Ascension" by Putterhug Studio
available for sale HERE

As promised, this is an idea of how both can be framed:
