The Bats Of Pokémon Through The Eyes Of A Bat Nerd (who Also Used No References So They're A Tiny Bit

Content warning for blood and religious imagery!

Happy Halloween!! This piece was a Halloween "Secret Santa" for Eden featuring his brown long-eared bat / golden-crowned flying fox hybrid!! Had so much fun with this character; bat gang rise up (and then down, and then back up). I was getting a bit too close to the deadline near the end and so had to swallow my pride and face the fact that the wooden frame was just not gonna happen, lol. It's a royalty-free image from Pexels, one of my favorite sites ever tbh : D The meaning behind this piece is up for interpretation. I'm a big fan of taxidermy, I was inspired by my own framed bats to spin a respectful (and in my opinion beautiful) art-form into something macabre. The pose of Jesus on the cross was something implemented partially for the irony of it as this character lives and works in Hell. Perhaps one could take this piece as punishing the damned in a horrific way that's still deemed moral and wholesome, or maybe it could be commentary on how torture and violence is so readily displayed through religious imagery. Would love to hear what you think!

Man this file is just named “aeaeaeaeaeaeaeae” I’ve truly given up in the names department

Not much to say about this piece, just something experimental with my character Zelda. She was a birthday present from a dear friend of mine and I wanted to draw her! I’ve got mixed feelings about this piece but hopefully it’s at least interesting to look at!

Overdue owed art for @arleyandtheinkboyz of their character Nyx !! This piece intimidated me for a bit I must admit but I really like how it turned out and it feels great being back in the swing of things. Thanks so much for your kindness and patience!

EDIT: Just realized I had subconsciously entirely stolen @blackholebunni ‘s thing with the shoe buttons! Credit for that goes to them, I really dig it.

I deeply apologize for my autism I just finally found a style for these dudes I really liked and wanted to take it for a proper test run. I really like it. :D 

Got another Grinning Pals meme coming right up, don’t you worry your silly little heads

YIIK reference goes out to all my Meme Team homies, one love ✌️ 

Hello, 2022!

Happy New Year, everybody!!

Just posting this cause I've finally committed on a new username. CanisChiroptera was nice but the word "Canis" has no real relevance to me and I want it to be 100%, y'know? This one combines Chiroptera (the order of bats) with ancient saying of my fellow Canadians, "eh". Oh, and the double i's are mostly just to look cool but it's also a subtle nod to the late great Avicii.

Thank you for the warm welcome, Tumblr! So far I’m enjoying my time here a lot and I hope we can have an awesome 2022 together.

Oh, and one last thing: I’m crossposting everything on Buzzly! It’s a startup art site that’s kind of a mix between Tumblr and classic DeviantArt. Highly recommend! Come visit me, yeah? https://buzzly.art/~Chiiroptereh

So I have just discovered the absolutely incredible digital library of skull scans. These scans include not only images of bones (mainly skulls) but 3D MODELS THAT YOU CAN VIEW IN-BROWSER!

For example, come rotate my cranium here!

Keep in mind that you need to have the scientific name of the species you’re looking for in order to search for it, but that information’s only a Wikipedia page away.

Definitely gonna be doing some studies with this baby!

Zösky thinks he’s hot shit but he’s really only the latter. Meanwhile, Kaput mange du pain. And only du pain. There is nothing in that sandwich

A very quick and very messy experiment with a neat line art trick my swag as freak pegasister @ieatchromebooks started experimenting with. You will go follow her...NOW! Her stuff looks way better than this does that’s for sure

I promise I’ll post about something that more than like four people care about in due time, been in a killer art block lately and these two are fun to draw ❤️💛 (Also I am once again indecisive about how to draw their outfits so that’s another excuse of mine. Here I gave them one-piece bodysuits more similar to how @eievuiisms draws ‘em, which makes more sense frankly but until I saw them pull it off so well I wasn’t sure it’d work so I never tried (hello btw hope you’re doing well!!). I find it super interesting how being in such a small fandom has made me intentionally or not take little things from everybody else’s art styles bahaha I kinda love it!)

Could you show more yungbill stuff please? I just like how it's look in your style

Thanks, anon! My iTunes shuffled to this song while I was biking and I thought it was perfect for them lol. Hope you like!

Changed a few lyrics of course. I WISH the song actually said the singer's partner makes them watch awful LiveLeak footage, now that would be a character worth singing about

Confession: I love cuddles. I love them a lot. Can never have enough. Heck, I love them so much that it’s hard to post them sometimes! I’m just kind of sappy I suppose ;v; Rambling under the cut

Please don’t tag as ships, my Pines cuddles are purely platonic! <3

I liked this sketch a lot so I gussied it up a bit! Still a bit rough but that’s okay, just wanted to work on something heartwarming and cozy. :D Felt it was still a bit lacking though so now it’s “animated”. Just a two-frame implication of breathing is all. :p I think it’s a good lil addition though!

After a whole year’s worth of awful depression I think that I’m finally starting to feel like my old self again after seeing a psychiatrist. Things are really looking up for me and I hope some of that happiness shines through here. <3 Have a lovely evening, everybody!

In the backseat of a taxi, When you told me we were only Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind. And in the backseat when you asked me, "Is the sadness everlasting?" I pulled you close and looked and you and said, "Love, I think it is."

Hello everyone, apologies for the radio silence. In a very tough spot again. Nonetheless, managed to get something done on a whim and wanted to share it :] Hope you're well

For my own safety I can't disclose too much here, but I'm essentially uprooting my entire life again. It's really scary and overwhelming, but things can't continue as they have been. I'm focusing all my energy on ensuring that my sister and I are secure as soon as possible, so expect the inactivity to continue over the next few months.

I'm so grateful to my friends and family for their help. It feels like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders every day for the past two years. It's exhausting being so scared all the time. I hope we're able to find stability soon.

Lots of love, hope you like this piece ^^ It turned out...absolutely nothing like it did in my head, but I still rather like it. Big thanks to music for getting me off my ass bwahaha this felt nice to do
