Description
I drew this in the winter/spring of 2001, when I had little to do in Rhode Island. The bats and luna moth are in pen and colored pacil, while the background is painted in. The thing I dislike about it are some flaws in the bats' anatomy. I failed to make the wing membranse attatch with those of the tail. I believe I was trying to portray a type of long-nosed bat, living in southern California and Mexico.Related content

Wow, you did that all traditionally?!
I could never have the patience to make so many stars xD
I love how it came out! The night sky is beautiful, and the bats look peaceful.

Well, it had been a one-time thing for a neighbor ^^ But we're thinking of getting a lovebird of our own, now.

Really?? Too nifty! Have you thought of what kind? Moonbeam is one of 4 or 5 peachfaced lovebirds. But there are other varieties as well.

Doog?? What doog? Ha ha, just foolin'!! Next year, since it's our last at AAHS, I want to take a picture of all of us in tents (with the bat, erm ... not wearing a tent of course!!)

Oh, that's a good idea! I don't really have that many pictures of the pack...it's sad. I want to make a collage of pictures of us to put on the wall in my room...I know you've taken quite a few w/ your fancy digital camera.

BATS!! Bats are so awesome! After I read the Silverwing series they've been in my top ten list of fav. animals!! Such an awesome pic, I love the coloring and the wings are great! Haha..the bats I used to drew were like balls with flaps stickin' out of their sides. O_o
I don't see why some people think bats are ugly and stuff.
Again, a lovely pic!!

AHH!! I HATE it when people say bats are bald, slimy, ugly rodents!! They are never completely bald, not slimy (well, unless they fall in a tub of molassis) and are anything but ugly!! There reputation had been screwed by human misconceptions. I want to save them!!
Yes!! Silverwing is one of my faves, along with Sunwing and Firewing!
Thanx again!!

I feel the exact same way! It also annoys me when people say that they're rodents. That really makes me mad
Anyway, great picture! I love the shading and the colors you chose for the fur. The wings really do look like they're glowing!
