Or the Neotropical False Vampire Bat to be precise.

<3

Recognize this pose? lol it's the pose I used for Pierce in this pic: link

I loved the picture enough where I wanted to remake it. (it was originally a painting in my little handy dandy bat book. I love that thing)
hahahaha and I noticed on the original painting, the guy forgot to add the second set of teeth (far from us)

Ah, I got this done in one sitting. D8 my butt huuuuuuuuuurts. oh, so does my neck. D;

I'm rather happy with it for only being 2-3 hours. >w< <3

OH, and I wanted to do this because I have finally started reading Silverwing... now I'm on Sunwing. 8D I LOVE these books~! X3 <3 <3
So I guess you can call him Goth. |D (Goth is the 'villain' in the story and I figured out this is what he is)
I RECOMMEND READING IT.
but for some very odd reason, whenever I read it I feel like they are owls. .________. wut. I DUNNO, OKAY.

Nicely done. My one recommendation towards future art pieces; add more contrast and sharper highlights! =w= I shouldn't talk, i need to work on it too. It adds depth to a piece and will really bring out the focus when executed properly.

HAW I knew you would enjoy Silverwing <3 it was my uhhhh... 4th grade reading assignment, Sliverwing that is. I fell so drastically in love with the series, I drew Shade all the time. It's the kind of book series, for me personally, that I can open to any page and get hooked.
