Description

This is my sketchy submission for Sezaii 's contest .
The idea is to choose two animals whose stereotypical personalities and mannerisms are similar to one’s own personality, draw an imaginary mythological creature that is a combination of these two animals (similar to the way that a griffin is a spliced combination of a lion and an eagle) and describe the personality similarities.

So I chose a combination of an Elephant and a Bat. I didn’t give too much thought as to how the anatomy of the two animals would go together though, woops.

Some Elephant-like traits, and how they could relate to me:
- Empathetic (I try to be)
- Calm/generally harmless unless provoked
- Grazes all day on food (I prefer many small snacks compared to just a few larger meals) 
- Quiet for the most part
- Slow (taking my time forming opinions and considering choices)
- Keeping close to family

Some Bat-like traits, and how they could relate to me:
- Nocturnal (I like to do stuff at night, though I pay for it the next day at work when I’m drowsy!)
- Unconfrontational, takes off at signs of a disturbance (I’m not known for being assertive on many things)
I had thought of a few other things to list here, but I've forgotten them now... drat.

Oh yay I'm glad you entered, I was interested to see what you had come up with I can safely say your the first to come up with elephant bat! Hurrah As I know you (well, as much as I could do through dA etc), I couldnt agree more with the personality choices you came up with. You are definitely a very kind and calm person which is a really nice trait to have and ads to making friends really well ^^ So the elephant was a good choice to make! A bat is always a cool choice too ;3 I guess I WISH I was a bit more like a bat, but I just NEED my sleep and can't stay up for long x-x plus it would be really nice not to feel inclined to argue, but I think I'm probably prone to this too XD So I admire you for that haha. Perhaps I could learn a few things from the bat. Its nice to see you submit something anyway, its been a while huh? XD I'll add it to my collection of entries now. I've delayed the deadline just slightly today as a few people have asked me if its possible (sorry if you could have done with that also, I'm only just submitting a journal x3) Good luck

Yay for being first! Thanks for the compliments Yeah, it's kinda hard to stay up at night if you can't sleep in the next day. >.< What are your sleeping and waking times, usually?
I think being inclined to argue and being passive/meek/apathetic can each have their own benefits and problems... it probably depends on your environment and how the people around you treat you, as to what works best.
No problem, I look forward to seeing the results.

^^
Usually I need quite a bit of sleep, going to bed at like 11pm and waking naturally at 9am, so roughly 10 hours XD I guess the average is like 7-8
