For ivanahewlett, the dragon-bat.

Bats are interesting to draw as semi-realistic anthros, because if you want them to stay cute in a non-puggy kind of way, the best place to start is a siamese cat head, and build the facial structure from there. I usually have to ask if the buyer wants their bat to be "really batty" or "cute batty," And this is how you make a cute batty.
