[kai•rop•ter•ay] Heya! I'm Emily, an artist, novice chiropterologist (bat scientist!), geometry enjoyer, polite Canadian and snake mom. Check my pinned post to read more about me and this blog! Have an awesome day. :D
/|\^. .^/|\ Hi, welcome to my Tumblr! I’m Emily, a 23-year-old Canadian girl with a love for art, science, and a little bit of everything else.
🔺 My Carrd, for a quicker overview as well as my interests and creative endeavours: https://chiiroptereh.carrd.co/
🦇 I reblog stuff and ramble over at @batsylabs !
🎨 My main artistic interests include bats/chiropterology, non-human characters, Flatland (all adaptations), Gravity Falls (specifically Bill), Nuclear Throne/Gun Godz (specifically YV), both combined in @love-triangles-au, anthros, geometric shape characters, imaginative realism, and a lot more! Feel free to send me requests regarding any of these things, I love them!

Hello there, welcome to my Tumblr! I’m Emily, a cheerful Canadian 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, was apprenticed by a local biologist, and assisted in keeping track of local populations as well as educating the public about our dear flying friends.
I’m a positive and super nerdy person. I love sunshine, cuddles, parties and bright colors just as much as I love deep-dives into Wikipedia, biology, philosophizing, and poking dead things. My mindset hinges on a marriage between logic and kindness, as I believe kindness IS logical! I’m deeply empathetic, introspective, and believe in compassion and the goodness of people, so I’m pretty chill and friendly. I always strive to assume the best of others as I hope that is what others will do for me in return; I’m autistic and so do not always understand social rules, so being shown good faith is something I consider invaluable. If you ever wanna chat, nerd-out, or just say hi, go for it! I really do love people, though I've been dealing with extreme mental health struggles for the past few years so I apologize that I tend to disappear. <3
About This Blog:
This blog aims to be a place for me to share my art in hopes it can speak to people in some way, as well as to hopefully make some like-minded friends! Perhaps the occasional status update will pop up, but generally I aim to just give you what you followed for. My reblogs and more personal posts are over at @batsylabs so follow me over there to see sillies and posts from my awesome muties.
I've got a semi-realistic/imaginative realist art style that serves as a love letter to the natural world, with a focus on the diversity in animal anatomy as well as the expressive nuances of color and the magic of light (or, to put it simply, I draw a lot of different animals and love throwing saturated colors everywhere). I love using the tools and mechanics of the natural world to make fantastical subjects and places feel tangible, inspired by how impossible so many things in our world might seem to an outsider — magic is just science we don't understand yet! However I love all kinds of art and hope to experiment a lot more when I’ve refined my main style.
I also draw a lot of fan-art. Like a lot. Especially when I’m in art block which I unfortunately have been for a few years. My favorites right now are Flatland (primarily the novel but I have a fondness for all adaptations!) and Gravity Falls, specifically Bill Cipher, but I have a good deal more!
Being hyperfixated on Bill for so long (about eight years) has done really weird things to my brain and now I also just genuinely love geometry in general, especially “anthropomorphic” shapes like him, which is ironic because I’m quite terrible at math. I’m a big fan of polyhedra, I think they’re so so beautiful like I’m pretty sure angels look like that. My bedroom is covered in paper polyhedra it looks like a default Blender environment
I’m deeply pretentious passionate about art’s technical and philosophical aspects, too. Like just everything about it really; I’m not just an artist I’m very much an art nerd. I adore color theory and the physics of light and shadow. My personal definition of art is that if at least one person feels it’s art, then it’s art. I feel everything is art, and therefore by my own logic everything is art! From the most abstract of modern pieces to the intricate worlds toiled over detail by detail to the pencil you chew on when you’re trying to solve an equation to the blue shadows cast by telephone poles, it has value if someone’s willing to find it.
About Requests:
I really love these and I’m always open to them, ESPECIALLY ones about my favorite fandoms/interests! Shoot me an ask if you’d like, I don’t bite and honestly the sentiment would make my day! :Dc

Thank you to @chiiroptereh for reminding me that this movie exists and for having such beautiful and underrated art! I've found your profile last night because you mentioned me and I spent all night scrolling through it, just marveling through art. I didn't want to like/reblog everything because I'd probably look like a lunatic, so here's a small piece for you <3 Hope you like it!
For everyone else, this is from Flatland The Film which you can watch free on YouTube (and it's surprisingly good! I love this film!)
WAHH OMG I LOVE THIS HELLO?? 🥺🥺 PONDERING MY ORB PONDERING HIS WEIRD BUG the reflectiveness on A Sphere grabbed me immediately like wow wow!! That texture is SO hard to do, you really nailed it, even got the perfect amount of blending! Soft but with hard edges, like burnished gold <3 The blues and the pinks and the hints of red too gosh it's such eye-candy (quite literally—looks like candy! Would eat this if I could)! A Square's palette especially oh my gosh I LOVE those hints of greeny-yellow. The dialogue and expressions are killing me BFHAHAHA somebody please get these two a room before they make us all sick with their geometry-themed flirting. Middle-aged men, everybody
I am so so flattered I can't even tell you, I gasped and put my hand on my chest like an old Victorian lady (which I suppose is thematic, eh?), now you've gone and made my month twice! I'm putting this in my folder of things I wanna get printed for my room, god knows it puts the biggest smile on my face! Thanks so much, it is an honor to call you my mutie 🫡💕
I have too many headcanons to fit in a normal list so naturally I spent several months writing and researching to make this. Started over a year ago iirc and I was gonna wait to make more illustrations for it but was making no progress so I'm setting it free as-is. I'd really like to rewrite some things, I've got a cooler idea for the class system especially somewhere in my mind it's just a bit vague atm; will need to ponder
Huge credits to @giulliadella for many aspects of internal biology and world composition (as well as being a massive massive inspiration to me I think you are SO cool) and to @mintytrashcannot for contributing art and just generally being my favorite person to brainstorm geometry with. Lots of love to both of you!

Pitched the second img to the Flatland server and @mintytrashcannot suggested red galaxy !! Like redshifting !! I thought it was genius so tested it out with a meme that @cosmomatic sent and I'm a big fan, v fun to draw. I love u Spherius they could never make me hate u Spherius 1 billion kisses
Almost forgot lol Magma dump two !! Movie and novel stuff. Guide under the cut
2. It was bugging me that lipstick is the Movie universe's gender dimorphism so everyone gets it now
3. My take on the Sphereland novel's Hex and Puncto! Still adore the transfem Hex headcanon a lot
7. I love love love love Archimedean solids I love them so much! Here's a truncated tetrahedron, truncated cube, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated dodecahedron. I'm probably going to keep the t. cuboctahedron I like him a lot
8. Chromatistes! The Magma likes pairing him with circles so I hopped on board; I think it'd be funny if that one circle like fell in love with him after quitting politics to become an artist
10. It's genuinely kind of important to their story that I figure out how to make them cuddle. Took me way longer than it should have
12. Initial sketch for that lil comic I did! I started and then realized I wanted to make it much bigger

Finally got all the way through the Sphereland movie, didn't find it as bad this time around probably because Minty was keeping me company and she makes everything better
That being said I really think it would have benefited from more characterization! It sounded like Hex was dealing with a LOT of feelings but it wasn't really unpacked; I think she could use a pep talk from an oldie to soothe some of that classic young adult neuroticism (but perhaps I'm projecting just a little)
OMG! Place I've been jumpscare; this is Vancouver's Chinatown! My dad and I saw it on a walk and we both thought it was awesome, so I drew it for him when we got home. This is circa March 2021. What a crazy coincidence!
I was complaining to @mintytrashcannot about running out of ways to draw limbless orbs and she just busted out these absolutely wonderful "anthro" designs out of nowhere cause she's the best. I was up super late that night doodling them and haven't stopped thinking abt them
Like WHALE SPHERIUS?? HELLO??? 🥺🥺💞💖💞 I think she did it better than me but hopefully u see the vision. I made him an outfit just so he feels included he's prob gonna stay nakey so he can go Bakugon mode
