Awesome picture. This actually reminds me of an interesting article I read on the blog called socialbat.org which talked about some of the more surprising victims of desmodus rotundus - including a snake! They say fact is stranger than fiction, lol.
For anyone who is interested, the article is here socialbat.org/2013/09/26/what-…

Nice! The common vampire bat's face is realistic and recognizable as that particular species, even with the (understandable) artistic license you have taken with his teeth - their little, razor-sharp, wedge-shaped incisors don't look nearly as impressive as a good pair of Bela Lugosi chompers! The wings look great, too (except that the thumbs appear to be either missing or joined up to the index fingers, which is a bit weird). I like the hatchwork on the wings. The rattlesnake looks awesome - I like the patterning in his scales!
(I uploaded a vampire bat portrait to my own gallery just yesterday - check it out! )

Thanks! I really appreciate your input. I did think the bat could look a tad bit meaner lol. As for the thumbs, the picture I referenced didn't have them sticking out as they normally would. At the time of this piece I was still in a mode of drawing almost exactly what I see rather than understanding that small changes like that could make it work even better. I'll definitely check out your portrait.
