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
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.
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 like Wessex (rest in peace my sweet boy 💖💖)
Have an awesome day! /|\^. .^/|\
First draft of this was done at like 3 AM and looked like total crap. Thankfully it’s now a reasonable hour and it looks slightly less like crap! Though I did some more experimenting so it’s not totally crapless, but that’s okay, ‘tis just a silly. Enjoy!
How did Kaput and Zösky confessed their feelings for each other and who confessed first?
Always figured that if they got together it'd just be like. day 293 of space road-trip:
“The Mabel Treatment”, 2020
Was looking through my DeviantArt and people seemed to really like this one (I am people also), so here’s a reupload on a website that isn’t totally dead! Original description under the cut :)
“It's ya girl back with another limited palette piece cause it's been a while since I tried one and my inspiration doc is getting real gummed-up
Based off a sketch a did a while ago, I love these two. This old nerd could really use some Mabel pampering to help along with the healing process.
Original sketch involved her having painted his nails as well but it didn't look right in the limited palette, maybe next time </3
Oh, and speaking of which, I love this palette! I wasn't sure how it'd go at first but it's really nice and cozy, perfect for this scene.
Randomized prompt:
Character(s): Ford, Mabel (added Waddles too just cause) Keyword: brush Tone: sweet Palette: sheet 3, 78 / F60″
Thank you so much for letting me take part in this project!! It looks absolutely amazing all put together and it means so so much to me. One of my favorite songs by my favorite artist paired with my favorite show and favorite old men. <3
And here it is at last! The Gravity Falls Multi-Artist Lyric Comic tribute to the Stan Twins, "Trouble"!
Stay tuned, as @stariousfalls is working on making all of this into a video version. That will be coming along in the next few weeks!
And of course, Happy Birthday to Dipper and Mabel! (Even if this project was Grunkles-centric, Stan and Ford's stories wouldn't have come to such a heart-warming resolution if it wasn't for their niblings. Credit where it's due!)

One of two pieces I did for Art Fight this year. Rather fond of the colors in this one!
This is my dear friend @ghostlygunk's character, Callum! They were so wonderful to draw, very Shape. This is them taking a moment in between cleaning up a crime scene, perhaps contemplating something or another...
i wish there was a 'Follow But Again' button so i could follow you harder im seriously obsessed with your gravity falls art
(((((im the one who you offered to talk about flat dreams ith btw :>))))
Awww thank you so much!! That means a ton to me, so glad you enjoy 🥺🥺
Also hello again! When I finished that fic I had to physically get up and go for a night drive and lived life in a hollow stupor for the next three days. Pain agony. I didn't think it was possible for me to actually feel bad for the bastard triangle
RIP Liam he just like me fr
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!
EDIT: Hey thanks for all the notes! I did some more but I think Tumblr is nonfuctional so if you enjoy this you’ll probably like these too. :]
I made this in five minutes with Sweet Child O’ Mine looping in the background
Smiling Friends rocks I’m so proud of my boy Zachary and his iconic Let’s Play Pals
Edit: thanks for all the notes, guys! I made some edits so that this is easier to read. If you like Bill and spec bio vibes, here's another one I made of some possible psychological instincts a Euclidean might possess. Lots of love :Dc
A study into 90% of Bill's organs
I went so overboard omg but I wanted to try underpainting :Dc See if you can guess what color was the base for each of em! Reasoning for design choices beneath the cut.
Teeth are retractable so as to not puncture the eye when not in use
Lashes are retractable because I couldn't figure out what else to do with them LOL they're pretty thick whiskers and so he'd have some trouble if they stayed in the way, but having them fully retracted would, I imagine, risk them getting stuck or the pores plugging with oil/dirt
Whether or not his tongue is forked varies in canon, just as his blood color does, so I just chose the ones I prefer! I do really like it when people give him blue blood but I think in subtler hues it can make him look a lil nauseous so it's easier for me to work with red
He cleans himself with his tongue because he's a gross little beast and can't just take a shower or something. Ok but really I just thought it was cute what are you a cop leave me alone
Every villain needs to be able to have claws it's like a rule somewhere I think
The second set of eyelids serve to protect the optic nerve but are mainly something I added partially for emoting purposes and partially because of how many times the animators do this thing where his lashes don't follow his lids and it drives me less insane to have a hc about it
I think that at long last I’ve finalized my sona’s design! Phew, only took like eight years. God I’ve gained weight. :p Her Toyhouse is over here if that’s your scene! https://toyhou.se/896743.-sona-emily
But anyway, sorry for being inactive, I’m really just not much a social media person hahaha, hope you’re all doing well! <3
