i have made it to the final round of beat bobby flay. it is time to reveal my signature dish. “ants on a log,” i announce. bobby faints. i have found his weakness. scott conant is crying. alex guarnaschelli is there.
apple going for the somewhat realistic interpretation, but those wings are just… wrong, and takes away from the rest of the image. 3/5
a friend. the innocent, humble friend that beesshould be portrayed as. i can overlook anatomical errors when it ends up being so damn friendly. 5/5
i appreciate the attempted art direction here, the top-down view is a unique twist, but mamma mia could someone at microsoft hold off from selecting the thickest black border available? 3/5
this bee is curious, inquisitive, and i’m sure they could warm up to being a good friend. 4/5
that’s one fat fucking bee. how does its small wings lift its fat body off the ground? i think this bee’s going to care about what we think is impossible. 2/5
this is a much more preferable interpretation of the top-down bee. reasonable line thickness, doesn’t look nearly as threatening. 4/5
similarly, this is acceptable. focuses more on gradients than flat colors, which i think is an interesting change of pace. 4/5
that’s a wasp. an aggressive, unpleasant wasp. that wasp is not my friend - it is a threat. and we shouldn’t be portraying bees as threats. 2/5
absolute adorable friendliness trumps technical anatomy. this bee is my best friend. 5/5
