Awww thank you so much!! That means a ton to me, so glad you enjoy 🥺🥺
Also hello again! When I finished that fic I had to physically get up and go for a night drive and lived life in a hollow stupor for the next three days. Pain agony. I didn't think it was possible for me to actually feel bad for the bastard triangle

RIP Liam he just like me fr

Plz draw Ballerina!Pim if you don't mind.
Sure, why not!

Happy New Year, everyone!
What is Kaput and Zösky’s idea for a romantic date?

Depends on who you ask
Rest In Peace
My mother, who had been fighting cancer for the past three years, passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning. She wasn't afraid to die, she told me she'd had an awesome life and felt she'd taught me and my brother everything she needed to. I'm very thankful that the last thing I got to say to her was "I love you."
Rest easy Mama, you're my hero, my rock, my best friend and I couldn't have possibly asked for a better mom in a million years. What you've given me will never die.
Taking a hiatus to be with my family during this really difficult time. Much love to all of you

Another ref bc I'm on a roll and don't know what I want to draw. This is Alum and I believe he was also designed by Devilbinx! He's a pretty old OC to my knowledge so I'm glad to be giving her ol' guy a forever home. Totally in love with the conspiracy theories theme
I didn't realize I'd mixed up exothermic with ectothermic until it was too late pls don't hate me pls pls pls pls I'm sorry I'm so so sorry pls pls

A couple bats to wrap up the year. There was gonna be more but, just my luck, my tablet's pen is malfunctioning real bad and I'm on the other side of the globe in New Zealand right now. Oh, well; expect more when that's taken care of!
Nerdy stuff under the cut. Happy holidays, everybody!
In terms of chiropteran diversity they may not be the most dramatic examples, but these species are in separate classifications entirely. The left is an eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis, though I did take some liberties with the colors) in the Vespertillionidae family and the right being some indiscriminate funnel-eared bat (specifically a Natalus sp.) from Natalidae. It is worth noting that both families are in the same superfamily, though, but pff, that's not even a real word.
It's no secret that I love my lasiurine bats (though I really broke the mould this time with a L. borealis instead of L. cinereus, woah gotta slow down there) so she was my first on the sheet. I'm already pretty adept in terms of lasiurine anatomy so she was more of a shading test which I'm rather happy with! They're so whiskery 🥺
At first the second bust was supposed to be of a generic Myotis species, but I thought that might be a bit boring (not that I don't love them too of course but my sketchbooks are full of them) so I went with a different pointy-faced little fella. Or, well, I think my thought process was more like "what's another species that when its mouth is open just looks like :V" but same deal. Funnel-eared bats are a very small family and you can tell they aren't very far-removed from vesper bats, but it's their subtler differences that interested me. They have these really funny moustaches, b-shaped skulls and almost woollen fur. They're also a more traditionally "ugly" species and that especially made me want to showcase how lovely they are.
I do wonder if the eyes are maybe a little uncanny, though. I intended for anthros of species without visible scleras to remain partially faithful to that and have enlarged irises/pupils but I dunno, looks kind of cartoony here, haha. Oh well, still plenty of room to experiment!
I'm very happy with these! The difference in fur texture especially was something I didn't think I'd be able to pull off, but I think I nailed it (without references, too! Booyah!). I hope to bring you guys some more underappreciated species as well as showcases of diversity soon; there are so, so many bats out there to love and they're all so different. Much love, hope you enjoy!
