Hello there, welcome to my Tumblr! I’m Emily, a stereotypical polite Canadian with a love for art, science, and a little bit of everything else. As my username suggests, I’m deeply enraptured by chiropterology, having begun working with the Vancouver Island Community Bat Program when I was 15. I am trained to handle bats and assist in keeping track of local populations as well as educating the public about our dear flying friends.

I’m a cheerful yet super nerdy person. I love sunshine, cuddles, parties and bright colors just as much as I love deep-dives into Wikipedia, biology, puzzles, and collecting dead insects. I believe in kindness, compassion, and the goodness of people, and so I’m pretty chill and friendly; if you ever wanna chat, nerd-out, or just say hi, go for it! I’m totally cool with all forms of jokes or remarks, feel free to poke fun at the wonky eye I drew, swear like a sailor or tell me about the time you found a weird lump on your pinkie toe. I really do love people, though I do have a social anxiety disorder and a general predisposition to be a brooding introvert so I apologize if I don’t respond right away. <3

About This Blog:

This blog aims to be a place for me to showcase my art. Perhaps the occasional status update will pop up, but generally I aim to just give you content! No politics, divisive topics or general downers; the internet’s got enough of that as it is. This is a place where you can forget about the world for a bit and (hopefully) just enjoy my art! I don’t reblog to this place and I know that’s awful Tumblr etiquette but it scratches me brain in all the right ways when my page is clean, so all my reblogs are over at @batsylabs. Follow me over there as well to see top-tier memeage and posts from my awesome friends!

I tend to draw a lot of animals, mainly anthro but some feral. In my works you will hopefully see both my zest for life and my love for the beautiful details of Earth reflected. I think our universe has its own intricate beauty and I like to use the references it gives me to craft strange creatures and fantasy settings that feel just as plausible.

I also draw a lot of fan-art. Like a lot. My favorite right now is Gravity Falls, specifically my @love-triangles-au​, but I have a good deal more!

As of now I focus on digital art, realism/semi-realism for animals and similar styles to the source material in terms of fan-art. In the future I would love to experiment with styles, but I’m rather textbook in my approach to learning and am focused currently on knowing the rules before I break them. I’m deeply passionate about self-expression and believe all art deserves love, from the most abstract of modern arts to the intricate worlds toiled over detail by detail.

About Requests:

I really love these and I’m always open to them, ESPECIALLY ones about my favorite fandoms/interests! Shoot me an ask if you’d like, I don’t bite and honestly the sentiment alone would make my day! :Dc

- If you don’t want to

Have an awesome day! /|\^. .^/|\

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

My finished entry for the CoS thumbnail contest! Oh man I worked my ass off on this, made half a piece (poll winner; #7) and then decided I didn't like it and went with my personal favorite. Churned this baby out in about four days which is quite the speedrun for me.

There are a ton of super gorgeous entries so I don't expect to win, but I think I have a pretty decent chance! Either way I hope you enjoy it! :]c Happy recode release week!! I am beyond hyped fr

Another resource for animal artists

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!

Sketch dump: Gravity Falls edition! This is like three years worth of stuff so apologies for the quality lmfao. Lots of mixed stuff here: angst, fluff, memes, something for everyone! And of course dressing up Mabel my sweet darling child I love her

I get the feeling someone’s already done the finishing each other’s sentences bit but I was not aware at the time so apologies! x’D

Fantober day 2: vampire

Just a tiny crobat for today! Shout out to my shiny crobat, Mr. Crocker, who is named such because he loves to murder fairies

Reuploading trying to beat Tumblr’s awful horrible tagging system but I guess this little dude is just doomed to never appear in the tags. I am fighting a losing battle

It’s literally the perfect quote thank you

Went on a mushroom trip on New Years, saw this random image on my phone and it spoke to me. He is like a deep sea organism comb jelly copepod looking thing to me

Always so fascinated by my shroomy art, it's somehow even more colorful than usual and looks nothing like how it was supposed to, lol! Definitely going in my wallpapers folder

Welp, only managed one more piece before Art Fight ended, but hey, I like it ^^ For my buddy Fantia--Skies of their lovely Bessie!

Sketch dump: Kaput and Zösky edition! Featuring some pretty OOC Kaput with a guitar because shut up music is awesome and I do what I want

Y’know I was talking to my friends about how I prefer these two in a constant state of gay undertones (well, “undertones” may be putting it a bit lightly) but explicitly shippy stuff is also fun!
