That's what I'm worried about. Where the heck did all the bees go?!
Today I spent...well...maybe eight minutes outside. Before today, I helped paint the house with my family in the backyard. The only buzzing insect I ever came across were FLIES. Even today as I walked around the cherry tree and overgrown flower bed, I came across ONE buzzing instance. I don't know if it was a bee or not. But there have seemed to be a lot of flies around lately. Ew, in my opinion. There were no fuzzy bumblebees that landed on my arms. There were no slimmer counterparts that buzzed angrily at me or rested on my fingers. Butterflies are getting rarer as well...I remember whenever I went outside on a nice summer's day, a big fat swallowtail butterfly would always end up terrorizing me.
Of all the insects, bumblebees, big moths, and ladybugs scare me the least. Moths are furry, soft, and sweet things, bumblebees are just too darn cute, and ladybugs are indestructible. (I think.) Butterflies are too delicate, and I'm scared to death of squishing them. Cockroaches fly in your face, and they're HUGE but at least they won't get squished easily...but they tend to have parasites. Crickets and grasshoppers hop, so you have no idea where they'll end up.
But besides that, you can visually see the flora everywhere falling apart. It's when you realize that bees keep everything in balance, and you really do start to miss them. They are truly sweet things as well when you're not screaming bloody murder or swatting at them. Flowers are disappearing and dying, with no seeds to spread because they weren't pollinated. And I want bees to hurry up and save my Feverfew plant, William, because he bloomed several days ago and then withered. Crap.
So stop killing/hating bees. Become a bee-hugger. (Err...figuratively, of course.) Plant more bee-friendly plants. Don't kidnap queens. They might get a little ticked...or buzzed off...
As far as deviantART business goes...well, art in general, I'm still examining the prospect of starting a webcomic. I have tons of stories and scripts, but I can't ever seem to get past drawing the outlines of panels whenever drawing them out. Does anyone have a link to a great website that gives you models/teaches you how to draw action poses? I've already seen Posemaniacs.com, but the action poses are only one person. (Despite being a pretty awesome site.)
I have two main ideas, planning to focus on one story. It's either one pertaining to my superpowered characters, or a fantasy story about a realm floating in space made up of an archipelago of rock masses that altogether create a broken up world. Can't decide. The latter story is less developed than the former, but I'm pretty bad at drawing battles or action...and guns. Such things would need to be included in the first story unconditionally.
Input, anyone?
[Edit] Decided on one...sorta...right now, it's more of a fantasy documentary called, (at the present,) "Cedar Gate: Or How Gillien Sutherland Was No Longer Dead". I'm actually still fixing up the scripts, because I want to do a webcomic the RIGHT way...and I'm still changing a lot of the story so that it's easier for me to draw it. (i.e. There won't be a lot of guns...although that makes the story of Gillien's dad kind of hard to do.) There ARE fantasy creatures, as Gillien is able to float between the fine lines of realms and meets a few other people who can do so as well. The storyline is also going to be pretty loose, without much of a plot except to tell who Gillien is and what she can do. Like I said, mockumentary pretty much.
