Screams And Cries And Runs Around In Circles MY NEW BOY!!!!!!! ;__; I’ve Never Felt So Connected To

Study, ~2 hr

Feeling weird about my process rn and figured it'd be good for me. Mainly trying to work on color, light as it plays on fur, shape language and behind-the-scenes stuff like layer blend modes and orders. I feel I learned a lot about light here, actually! Subsurface scattering is way more prevalent than I thought. That, and leaves are very reflective.

Inspiration struck at three in the morning and I couldn't sleep until I fulfilled my destiny

It’s that time of the year again!!!

I'm really proud of my progress in 2021, I've become a lot less afraid of painting compared to the past couple, and it's all thanks to sacrificing hyper-detailed pieces for ones that only have what they really need. Happy soon-to-be NYE and screw covid! :D <3

Yeah sure I'll post that

Hi! I want to preface this by saying that I mean absolutely no disrespect; nothing but support to my fellow artist, your style is unique and valuable and that doesn't go unappreciated!

With that being said, I really do not think this technique should be relied on for beginner artists. The individual parts are there, but with fundamentals it's REALLY important you understand how they're put together; they serve as the basis for everything you draw and getting to know them right can save you a TON of hardship in the future!

It's also worth mentioning that the sad truth is that neither of these techniques are gonna take you only fifteen minutes if you're drawing anything other than a sphere haha, but I really enjoy the process personally! Everything's made out of shapes, so put on a video essay about some game you've never heard of and do your thing, it's therapeutic!

Remember to be careful when it comes to online tutorials and not just take my or any other rando's word for it! I'm not an expert; ideally you'd be learning things like fundamentals from professionals. Marco Bucci and Proko are two of my favorites who provide their super valuable knowledge for free on YT in really digestible ways; they've helped me a lot throughout the years.

And, most of all, remember that there's really no wrong way to draw as long as you're having fun. If you're getting something out of the experience, then you're doing it right!

Happy arting, everybody! ^^

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly... 🌍

Another personal and cathartic piece for me. Started the concept of this one a few months ago and just decided to finish it up. This little guy's name is Dragonflight, he's my Warriors OC from 2012. I miss those days

Here little fellas come and get it [throws memes from bucket like a farmer feeding their pigs]

Sweet Soft Boys, Apr 24th 2021

Drew this when I was in the middle of a really bad depressive episode, so please excuse how overwhelmingly cartoonishly tooth-rottingly fluffy it is lol; cuddles are my go-to when I’m feeling especially low. I am cringe and I am free. I AM CRINGE AND I AM FREE. (And also not depressed anymore so that’s good!)

Fun fact: I actually remade the middle right one on my computer (this was via iPad which I don’t particularly like) over here!

Please do not tag as ship! My Stan snugs are entirely platonic :)

More Bill and YV PLEASE I'm obsessed

Always happy to provide, anon! Here are some unseen sketches from The Archives™

About Me

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

- If you don’t want to

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