Bats 🦇

Video description: a brown bat (probably big brown bat but I'm not completely certain on species) crawls into a cozy sweater (think ugly Christmas sweater but in orange, green and white) that says Tito's Handmade Vodka.

Audio: calm jazzy piano music (if someone recognizes this song please share)

The bat is a rescue named Henrietta at the Virginia Living Musuem (they shared her name, and not her species).

I love how we experience therianthropy in a way where sometimes it's like

"We're a wild animal that was forcefully taken from our home. We do not belong here, yet try as we may, we cannot escape this hell. We want to go home. Back to the savanna, the forest, to my owners farm. We want to go home, now."

to straight up

"I'm a good pup! Oh, is that a treat?? Gimme, gimme, I promise I'll bring the ball back! You have treats goddammit!

"Oh, the sheep are loose? I'll get them! No, no don't worry! I'll be back in time for dinner!"

"We're a good bat! A cute fat little brown bat that just ate too many bugs. shit...belly too full of...bug...need to... sit the fuk down and sleep..."

Hi guys :) yap sesh under the cut explaining the materials and process.

HAII so I’ve been working on this on-and-off since November 1st.

I made this using Arrtx acrylic markers in just some regular sketchbook, the paper is suuuuper smooth. I loved working on this! It challenged my skills in a lot of ways that other pieces haven’t in quite some time. I pushed myself to fill in as much negative space as I could and tried colour combinations that I haven’t used before.

To smudge the highlights on Ghostface and Michael on the bottom, I had to stick a piece of tape to my finger and rub/tap the paint into place. These markers dry quick so it took me quite a while to get the look I was going for. Lineart was one of the last things I added, so I had to work with a very faint sketch in order to decide the form of their bodies. Fun fact! Ghostie and Mikey in the bottom left corner were made using only two colours and a crap ton of mixing.

I’m really proud of how this came out! If you notice lighting inconsistencies in the pictures of my art, I had to edit them because my new phone struggles to pick up brighter colours sometimes.

And I feel like now is a good time to tell you guys that I still post on Instagram, too :) I have some exclusive posts divided between Tumblr and Instagram currently, but I may migrate to Tumblr into the future. If you’re interested in seeing my other pieces or hearing what else I have to say, it’s the same username I use on here — Selkierr. For those who don’t mind links, you can find it in the Carrd in my bio or use this one:

Thanks so much for reading, all the engagement I receive on here is super motivating! I love reading reblog tags :)))

P.S., Ghostie in this piece is actually my self-insert. There’s no canon Ghostface that I ship with Michael.
