Have I ever mentioned how much I love bats? I remember watching Sesame Street when I was little and the Count singing a song with cute little foam muppet bats and I just fell in love

That aside, this started out as something completely different, but halfway through with the sketch, I decided why not and went this route. I swear, it was cursed through, as when I wanted to scan the sketch was when I discovered cat killed the scanner and then after getting the new scanner, I couldn't find my vellum...but in any case, it's done now and I'm happy, so I guess none of that matters

As for the painting, besides going back to look at some Mucha's again, I was looking at some of the artwork from the 'Miso Pretty' cosmetics and noticing how they were using such precise and resrtained color palattes. In any case, I decided to be a little more restrained than I sometimes am and I'm pretty happy with how it worked in this case. That won't always be the way I want to go, but definately something I'll need to consider when I start to paint from now on.

Medium: lineart-Col-erase brown on vellum, painting done in Photoshop and Painter. Texture is papyrus I scanned.

And my appologies for having to bog down with the legal hoop-la, but all rights to this image save those granted to deviantART for purposes of posting are reserved. It may not be used eleswhere or reproduced without express permission. Thanks much
