Decorated Golden Stag Beetle

Working on more insect related jewelry designs. This is the lesser stag beetle (Dorcus parallelipipedus). I created this model as part of a tutorial that will soon be released on www.jewelryworkshop.com The model is created starting from scan data provided to me by Michael Heethoff. Some of his research is described here: https://newatlas.com/disc3d-insect-scanner/54739/

When I get a chance I'll do a photo real version.
