Inktober Day 11: Bat (A quick one of the little brownbat,(Myotis lucifugus), one of our local guys. They like to munch on mosquitoes but unfortunately they aren’t doing so well, with many of them succumbing to white nose syndrome.

Fruit bats are neat. Something about the delicacy of their wing membrane has always disturbed me. When they fold up their arms and shroud themselves it gives the impression it’s on the cusp of tearing.
They don’t navigate by echolocation, but they’re good at smelling smells.
The other evening I brought some beer over to my friend Tony’s house and we were visited by a demonic creature of the night. We had to get it outside before his wife returned, because she has a fear.
It was a playful bat, and it kept going from room to room and back again, finding its way upstairs despite our protestations. Tony eventually herded it with a feather duster toward the door. It was all very exciting.
Saw this dramatic little piece of thinspo and decided to tear through a half dozen old sketchbooks to find…. FAT BAT! I knew he’d come in handy, one day.
