Description -    I managed to get the net off of me when I heard something squeaking. I spun around with my flashlight in confusion, looking for the source of the sound. The squeaking grew louder and more desperate, as if whatever was making it was in trouble. Realizing that it was very close to me, I got up and shined my flashlight towards the ground. It was coming from the broken net that I was caught in.

    I followed down along the net until I gasped. In the light of my flashlight, a tiny bat was squirming around, trapped. I saw it's wings were twisted in the net, in knots. It tried to bite the ropes off with it's small sharp teeth. Noticing the light, the runtish bat stopped in his tracks and glance at me sharply, frightened.- Chapter 2 Befriended two bats, Twilight Night (revised) 

This is my entry for the contest is having. I love her story, both the old and the new version of Twilight Night. In the contest we are asked to create a scene from the story. I chose the first meeting between Ashley and Shade. I love how they are both shocked and surprised to see each other because she's shocked at the sight of a poor bat in trouble and he's flat out terrified of her because she's a human. Really big and he's really caught at the moment and at her mercy. I just love how this kicks off their friendship later in the series. 

Shade belongs to Kenneth Oppel/Silverwing 

Ashley belongs to  

The design was done by me on FireAlpaca. 

The background are actually photographs I've taken of my backyard and edited to give that nighttime look

WHOOOAAAAH! * giggle* thanks. I had to look at reference shot of bats actually caught in those traps to get an idea. Poor things. 

The background is a picture of a small brush area in my backyard. I called it "The forest" as a child.

Yeah and it help me get Shade's trapped look to look authentic. 

Yeah I know. And a little editing on my new smartphone helped me get that Disney nighttime look. You know the bluish look instead of pitch black like nighttime usually is.

Wow that looks really good! You have really been improving! Best of luck! Hopefully I'll be able to enter on time. xOx

Whirlpool24 In reply to Lilgrimmapple [2018-01-03 02:39:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh thanks. I was looking at one of your newer pictures and got to thinking of how to make Shade look more natural. So I tried to stay away from the black outline look. It was very inspirational and it means a lot to hear you say that. I wish you luck with your entry, you have a week left.

Lilgrimmapple In reply to Whirlpool24 [2018-01-03 02:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Aww! Seeing you say that makes me so happy! So glad to have given you inspiration. ^__^ Staying away from black outlines is harder than it looks, isn't it?

Whirlpool24 In reply to Lilgrimmapple [2018-01-03 02:43:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh tell me about it. That's how I've always done my work so finding the right colors to match his hair, fur, ears and wings was a bit of a challenge. And drawing Ashley was tough too because eh humans aren't my best thing to draw. Bats are easier somewhat.
