okay 1 bat most days

inspired by the likes of @1coweverday and @1horseeveryday here is my attempts to draw a bat every day in 2022! i don't think nor even plan to last the whole year, probably a good couple of months, for the love of bats!! Requests are open btw!! if you have a bat you wanna see just let me know

Most bats can actually be sorted into one of four groups. Happy batwatching out there!

(left > right, top > bottom: canyon bat, some sort of generic vesper bat & leaf nosed bat, visored bat & pendlebury roundleaf bat, flying fox)

A comic (?) about my love of weird little bats for this halloween

Not sure if these quick sketches ever made it to tumblr or not so here they are! A couple years ago I was asked to illustrate some bats for a publication on their response to wildfire, and so these were some warmups I did before the final illustrations.

Top: Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat)

Bottom: Myotis thysanodes (fringed myotis)
