Found This In My Procreate Files! Funky Experimental Almost Automatic Piece I Drew Last Year While Hanging

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly... 🌍

Another personal and cathartic piece for me. Started the concept of this one a few months ago and just decided to finish it up. This little guy's name is Dragonflight, he's my Warriors OC from 2012. I miss those days

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!

My buddy @mintytrash and I gave Bill a slight design change for the second half of @love-triangles-au involving a boa, and she came up with the absolutely genius idea of it taking on this solar eclipse kinda look when he's mad. I absolutely needed to draw it too it was so frikin cool!!

Worked on this in tandem with the other piece so here's a rare spike in activity for you; don't worry, it won't happen again! 😭

"When you're out on your own, a million miles from home Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, Don't forget who you are, don't lose your head or your heart I'll bet my life on the stars you'll be dancing on the moon."

Trade with wheat of Ohm and Pareidolia, waltzing together on the moon; a moment frozen in time :]

This is a MASSIVELY detailed piece I've been working on-and-off on for about a month now; make sure to zoom in!

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!)

Entirely self-indulgent Ford with a snake. Man I wanna snuggle with Riddle but she’s pulling a funny ball python bit and not eating >:T Ungrateful noodle

(Kind of a glow-up of a couple sketches here!)

Hiii it's very nice to see you back again! I hope you and you're sister are okay and happy, and if you aren't then I pray you guys will be soon 💕 also lovely lovely art as always hehe

Thank you so much, I hope so too! I appreciate your words of support a lot. Big e-hugs 🫶

I was looking through my files and realized I had way more Kaput and Zösky stuff I never posted. Images are captioned with extra info about the individual pieces if that’s what you’re into!

Show’s 20 year anniversary is coming up very soon! Gosh and this year was my 20th, too. Birthed in 2002, we both were. Clearly it was destiny.

I knew I drew them a lot but damn this is like, a lot a lot. Oh well, I just do what the little aspergers demon in my brain tells me to. :P Hope you enjoy!

More refs! Sorry for the abundance of these, they're what I do when I've got no ideas :P Will have something cooler to show you in a couple days!

Characters are Darian and Kayak <3!

Trying to get back into the swing of things using shitposts again. My tablet pen was broken for like two weeks omg. I'll get something done someday, I'm sure!
