Could somebody please supply me with a picture?

I need to make a scuplture and i decided on a bat (the animal). However, I checked all the resources I know of and came up with no decent picture to go off of. I need a full body picture of one with good visability on detail. Thank you all SOOO much!

Do others not see when we yearn for their touch;
An insatiable hunger only they can feed.
Left alone with out their words – fallen into darkness.
Stumbling blindly without their light,
We fall and scream, knowing we've faced too much,
Knowing the only answer is flight.
Flight from the lives we once faced
And the joys and terrors others have brought.
Our time with them, a time of joy and life,
Wonder we all, was it for naught?

I do believe I can be of service! :thumb: I was considering doing a bat sculpture myself, not so long ago, and so I collected a bunch of images. I'm surprised you didn't find any; did you try a Google Images search? There are so many different kinds of bats, and some of them are extremely cute! Especially the flying foxes. Anyway, here are a few images

And a few more... the last one's just fun. :grin: Do we get to see your sculpture when it's done?

Wow! Thanks so much! Well, if you can stand seeing a disfigured bat sculpture I can try to post it. Sculpting may be my strongest artistic ability but i'm still terrible at it. (And please don't say other wise. I use negativism to make me try harder.)

Okay, I won't argue with you, but I haven't seen your sculptures either. :grin: We are our own worst critics, but we can also be our own best motivators. And honestly... I thought I was a fairly decent artist when I was 15, but now I look back on the stuff I did in high school and I choke with embarassment. :sweat: All that to say -- keep at it, be dedicated if it's what you want to do, and you will improve greatly!

Thanks for the encouraging words! The sculpture isn't going to come out as I would like it to. My art teacher says to make it my idea but then he tells me to go and change some stuff. I suppose I can't argue with him *cough* much *cough* since he knows best in this subject. Oh well. Once I get it finished i'll borrow someones camera to snap a picture.

Yeah... sometimes art teachers are funny that way. They have a tricky job, because art is so personal and subjective, yet they are presumably there to teach you something, so they feel they have to help you improve somehow. I guess.

*doesn't ever want to be an art teacher* :sweat:
