SciFi and Fantasy Art Werebat Sketch... by Zachariah Campbell

This is a sketch for a werebat. I kind of hit a dead spot, and haven't gotten back to it yet.

Werebats, birds, etc... they're tough, because it would be so much easier to give them arms -and- wings, but I just can't do it... where does that whole extra set of limbs come from? Ah, the physics of the supernatural... I'm obviously thinking too much.

Oh, and the character this is supposed to represent is actually an albino, so if you can imagine it, this guy is big, shaggy, and -white-, with pink flesh and big red eyes. Personally, I think that's much scarier than a big black werebat, don't you? :)

17 Feb 2004	Camille R. Meyers	Loading... Happily does first comment cha-cha I think a werebat like this would be pretty scarry in any color. I do agree about the arms. The more realistic fantasy is, the more I am likely to get sucked into the story. I hope you find the time to finish this fantastic piece!=^..^=
23 Feb 2004	Stanton F. Fink	Loading... Like I said before, I like the werebat lots. He's definently formidable-looking... Why not go ahead and finish him? Off hand, I can only think of two "white" bats at the moment, one being the Australian ghost bat, and the other being the white tent-maker bat of the Amazon.
24 Feb 2004	Gregory P. Gibbons	Loading... I sure do like this one Zac. I see that you,ve been verrry busy... Oh, and I agree that white is a much cooler color for such a character.
29 Dec 2004	Julie R. Kowalski	Loading... Creepy....excellent line work!
30 Dec 2004	Seth	Loading... I like how the winged-limbs turned out espeacialy the claw/hand/wing what you can see the most ive tried werebats...they are hard to draw..
26 Jan 2005	Darren	Loading... very cool. I love the elongated forearm, though I would have elongated the bicep just a bit. And as to my earlier comment about the sketchiness of your work...-slap- Zachariah Campbell replies: "I hope that was you slapping yourself. See, I agree that this is unfinished. But as to the "sketchiness", I wouldn't change that if I could. What bothers me is that I didn't draw the rest of his body. The lines I like. Also, if I elongated the bicep as well, the distended appearance of the forearm wouldn't have been as striking. "
