Bat - Blog Posts

Here are some bat plushies I made earlier this year! The light pink one with the rose wings was the first one I made. After that I made the Pinkie Pie bat. These are the first plushies I've made using fleece fabric and I think they turned out really well.

"Witches' Night" is here!

May Day Eve (Apr 30) is Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night) across parts of Europe.

Known as "the other Halloween", it's a time when witches and evil spirits take to the skies for a little mischief.

Here are all the vintage bats we’ve so far encountered.

I've recently really been trying to beat my burn out by doing other things - pottery painting for example! It's become a bit of an addiction (I currently have 9 various bits of pottery to paint at home 🙈) but really fulfilling!

I'm sure you've all also noticed the jacket I'm painting on my instagram stories if you follow me there - I'll be wearing it as pitfighter Vi at MCM Comic Con in London this year, so maybe look out for me? 👀 Or don't actually, I'm really shy haha!

Anyway, that's my little update. I can feel the creative juices starting to flow again and can't wait for my little break for con in October. Ciao💫

Inktober 01 - Bat Boy

She doesn’t like vampires, but bats are cool.

fun fact vampire bats are technically venomous bc their saliva contains an anti-coagulant known as draculin that prevents blood from clotting. leeches and mosquitos also have similar functioning venoms :)

Inktober Day 3 - Bat

“scram, punk!”

Day 31 (Bat) and HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This challenge is finally over! I struggled way more than I thought I would and, frankly, I might not do it next year. I'll see! but Happy Halloween y'all! Stay safe and eat candy!

Day 17 (Candle) and Day 18 (All Hallows Eve)

Last Artfight Attack from this year!!!

Here's the last drawing I did for this year's Artfight! I had a huge illustration idea for this character, but there were only a few days left and I doubt I would have had the time to do it. I'll keep the idea for next year!! It was my first year on Artfight and I had so much fun, I'll try to participate every year from now on, if life lets me! This character is called Dusk, and they belong to Stariibat! Here's their Artfight profile ;) https://artfight.net/~StariiBat

Noemi the Honduran white bat

Some design explorations for one of my OCs Babs. The first one is her original design (plus added gloves) never really gives that much with the outfit I gave her so I wanted to try new ones/experiment with colors/hair. The third and fourth I tried different fur/hair color/face shapes, maybe they’re the same character or maybe they’re related oooooo lore(?) (Violet would be a good name for her) ✨💜🌙🦇
