(Emily!)

Hello there! I’m Emily, a cheerful Canadian girl with a love for art, science, and a little bit of everything else. As my username suggests, I’m deeply enraptured by chiropterology, having begun working with the Vancouver Island Community Bat Program when I was 15. I am trained to handle bats and have coordinated/assisted in keeping track of local populations, installing bat boxes, and educating about our dear flying friends in public speeches.I’m an optimistic and super nerdy person. I love sunshine, cuddles, parties and bright colors just as much as I love deep-dives into Wikipedia, biology, puzzles, and collecting dead insects! I believe in kindness, compassion, and the goodness of people, and so I’m pretty chill and friendly; if you ever wanna chat, poke fun at the wonky eye I drew or just say hi, go for it! I really do love people (especially you; you're my favorite), though I do suffer from a couple forms of mental illness and have been through recent trauma so I apologize if I disappear sometimes!Thanks so much for stopping by, lovely stranger, and I hope you have an awesome day! 🦇 💚

  • Bat Species Database | A visual encyclopedia of all the bat species in the world. Made mostly for artists who can't choose a species 'cause they don't know where to start looking!

Terms of Service

Personal guidelines regarding the usage of my art and characters.
I can't force you to abide by any of it, but I will enforce my own boundaries!

✓ Yes

  • Fan art of any kind would make my week!! Feel free to do whatever you want. I'm not squeamish in the slightest, I'm totally cool with heavy gore, body horror, suggestive themes, nudity, experimentation, eyestrain, abstraction, species swaps*, tweaking designs to fit your style...I think half the fun of getting art from people is seeing their interpretations! As long as they're abstractly recognizable go wild!

  • My commissions and designs have no rules attached to them! All I ask is that you don't lie and claim that my work is yours. Otherwise I believe in full buyer freedom.

  • If you want to use my artwork for anything, be it profile pics, tracing, making a collage with it, whatever, you're free to do so. All I ask is that you're open and honest about it and don't profit off it if it isn't transformative. This doesn't apply to commission/trade works or OCs themselves; the former are the property of the client and the latter are intended to be more private!

  • Also in addition to all of the above, I'd love love love to see anything you make with my work :Dc

❌ No

  • Please ask before depicting any of my OCs in a pornographic manner. I'm extremely sex-positive and won't bite your head off, promise! I'm just not attracted to 99% of my characters. My only hard nos are minors and characters that don't pass the Harkness test.

  • In addition to the above, please don't ship/pair 1) relatives with each other, be it by blood or step-whatevers; 2) minors with anybody; 3) anything that doesn't pass the Harkness test with anybody.

  • *Please do not draw my non-human OCs as humans/humanoid. It's an autism thing sorry.

  • Please don't claim my work as your own, profit from it unless transformative, or use it to spread misinformation. As stated above, you're free to use it, just be honest about it!

  • Please don't claim my characters as your own or reupload them on character sites (i.e., Toyhouse, Charhub, Art Fight, etc.).
