Oh My God I Loved The Shaker Concept So Much That I Bought Like $50 Worth Of Art Supplies And Made My

Do you have any unshown Dipper art? Specifically sleepy dipper, im obsessed with your art xx

D'aww thank you so much for the kind words! <3 I couldn't find any solo Dips that I liked so here's a brand new one straight off the grill just for you. Limited edition with funky experimental colors!

Art fight attack on my buddy Fantia--Skies!! I’m super proud of this and I hope you enjoy it, too; I had a lot of fun! <3

Alt versions under the cut!

Apologies for inactivity! Been drifting from social media haha. Here are my favorite kiddos in celebration of my new display tablet!

Did something weird and experimental with the line colors. Not entirely sure how to recreate it but I dig it! It’s like implied subsurface scattering :p

The bats of Pokémon through the eyes of a bat nerd (who also used no references so they're a tiny bit iffy)

Forgot to bring my tablet so I'm playing with dad's rainbow markers and pens. I kinda dig it actually but my phone cannot take proper photos of them lol

Nerdy stuff about design choices and lots of bat facts under the cut if you're interested in that!

Zubat is mainly modelled after Vespertillionidae and Natalidae species, inheriting both families' pointy faces and dense fur that often covers their eyes, making them appear blind (except zubat actually is blind). Their wings are broad, more akin to a Megadermatidae species, which was just a choice based off of the original design. Broader wings allow for increased manoeuvrability at the cost of speed in real species. Their legs are long and spindly, another trait borrowed from Natalidae.

Golbat still has zubat's woolly fur to keep its rounded appearance but has narrower wings as well as stumpy ears and a large mouth, all traits gleaned from free-tailed bats, the latter a trait specifically of the genus Otomops. They really do look like that sometimes yes. Its large feet are borrowed from the fish-eating myotis (Myotis vivesi) who frankly has even bigger feet than this guy. Bats are wacky lol

Crobat has a mostly furred face similar to Pteropid, Rhinolophid or Phyllostomid bats. Its ears are more fantasy and not modelled after any existing species. I had hairy-tailed bats of the genus Lasiurus on the mind while interpreting the little tufts on its bum, here they're meant to be fluff hanging off the uropatagium. It has very narrow wings similar to Molossid bats, and it fits for such a speedy Pkmn! (Fun fact: a Molossid bat was the fastest recorded vertical flight of any animal)

Woobat is inspired by Desmodus species, more commonly known as vampire bats. While their cousins the Honduran white bat (Ectophylla albus) is more commonly the interpretation, I chose Desmodus instead for its flat, heart-shaped noses and similar dental structure. The excess in fur is more attributed to the same families as in zubat, but with some more Lasiurine influence.

Swoobat's choice in inspiration was pretty obvious to me at first: the heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor)! The furred face and ears joined at the base is indeed inspired by Megadermatid bats but otherwise it has probably the most mixed influences of all these designs. I once again took the flat, heart-shaped nose from Desmodus species like I did with its pre-evo, and then its tail was adapted from Rhinopoma species (fittingly known as mouse-tailed bats!) as well as Molossid (free-tailed) bats. From an entirely nerdy perspective swoobat is easily my favorite, it really highlights a lot of chiropteran diversity whether intentional or not.

Noibat has joined ears like swoobat, inherited from Megadermatid bats (and sometimes Molossids) and is the first to have an actual nose-leaf, partially influenced by trident bats of the genus Asellia. I was kind of imagining that the bare patch between the tufts of black fur were present because they housed scent glands like in Emballonurid (sac-winged) bats who have similar bald patches. (I don't know a ton about Emballonurid bats unfortunately, so I'm not sure whether this is a family-wide occurrence or attributed to certain genii, lol. If anybody knows feel free to tell! I think some Molossids have scent glands too so heck throw them in as well)

Noivern is easily the most fantastical of the bunch, more dragon than bat, but it wouldn't feel right not to include him. He's got the same design choices on the face that its pre-evolution has (joined ears and nose-leaf) but otherwise doesn't have any more specific influences in batty terms. However, I turned the tragus into that little protrusion under the ear of the original design which I thought was kind of clever ;)

Wow, haven’t drawn one of my own fellows in a while! Too many varying forms of brain rot. This is Skylark and I lobe him and my bat buddy plumbeach made him and I hope you like him too 🥺

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!)

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

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

It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?

(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)

Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.

Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.

So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.

Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*

In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)

In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.

Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.

*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"

Thanks for the ask!

Was doodling in MS Paint and someone suggested Stan. my sister begged me to post it

OKAY had to make a third speedpaint for my video cause I messed the last two up but I know what went wrong and this should be the last one now LOL

Mixed feelings about this one. Whaddya think?
