this is the original, it's from 2008!
that's twelve years ago now, what
i drew it for the "beauty contest" lol, it was basically just a thing where u drew ur neopet oc and hoped people would vote.
and no, i don't remember where i placed with this one.
somehow i forgot to post this in october. oops.
anyway, this is a redraw of ancient neopets art. i figured the season was appropriate.
@neon_nuisance hi!!
i hope i'm not too late to this thread haha
i'm definitely nonbinary, people call me mags, they/he pronouns, and i mostly draw my silly vampire OCs 🦇
usually i make a point to pick a bat species that has the same kinda vibes as their human self!
so in this world, vampires kinda accidentally gave bats a bad rep, making humans think All Bats Drink Blood when in reality only actual vampire bats do
anyway here's helena as well
- born vampires will often get the classic vampire bat by default.
- the bat forms will keep all the disabilities of their human form, so rune here can barely see shit without his glasses and doesn't really like to be a bat.
then he discovered echolocation.
oh yeah... more very good bat mortens i should have shown in the first place
the ears start out relatively human-looking (but often pointy), growing slightly battier over time!
aaand the human appearance can directly affect the bat form as well, as seen here. blue bat. you're not fooling anyone, mort
for example, their bat form influences their human form and vice versa!!
you see their ears here, you can tell they're directly based on their bat forms
i've always been very casual about this game... it's been in the background for so long tbh?? so i never really talked about it lol
i can count the number of times i've drawn my avatar digitally on one hand, and i don't remember posting this thing yet, so here you go :^)
