Description Did I mention I love bats? I've never seen one in person; maybe one day.
The hardest part of this was actually just choosing how to position the tiny silhouettes and how many to use. It's the type of thing I get hung up on. I'm happy overall!

Thank you for all comments!

Bats are absolutely precious, and I really like the dreamlike quality of the colors here. ^^

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know I did a makeup look inspired by this piece over on my Instagram (abbysynthmodeling). I made sure to put your DA name on the photo itself, as well as in the post. Thank you so much for creating this beautiful piece!Β

I like this. Β The colors are kind of retro and the bat is cute but not cartoony.Β 

But where in the world do you live that you've never seen a bat in real life? They make up 25% of all mammal species!Β

I'm surprised you haven't seen one in person. Keep looking up.

awesome colors! In the last place I lived we had a major mosquito problem so the conservation people installed a bat box on a pole at the end of our driveway. They are really cool, my neighbor was being a jerk though and throwing his keys up in the air, the bat would dive bomb them at first thinking it was a tasty meal! Bats are awesome!Β

Love the rainbow of those wings and the silhouettes of his cohorts up there... Really amazing watercolor work.

You've never seen a bat in person? I would recommend trying to go bat-watching some day--really amazing experience if you find a bat-rich area at dusk. I've had one take me for a perch briefly, so that was a very close look.

Thank you!
I think we're pretty scarce on bats where I live, but maybe it's time I looked a little harder. New Zealand has two species, but their populations aren't doing well, and people tend to suggest I go to Australia to look at fruit bats when the subject comes up. I really would enjoy seeing them!

That would be a great idea--the megabat family (flying foxes and the like) are a creature I really like and would like to see myself! And the bats of New Zealand are interesting to me too--I've heard they're mostly active on the ground instead of in the air.

I live in the Eastern U.S. where we have 22 common species of little bats! It's quite a good place for bat lovers!

FUZZZZY.

Where I live, I see bats almost all the time, but not up close. They always look like fast-moving birds in the night sky that are gone too quickly.

This is gorgeous. The bat is just adorable, and the color has such depth. Your skill grows in such leaps and bounds, it's staggering.
