More development sketches for 
commission. link Lunar ponies have bat-style wings kind of like a dragon's. Since this commission involves Lunar pony and since I hope to do a couple dragon pieces this year, I decided to go and study the source of inspiration for this style of wings. Bats.
Ignoring the cartoon-style bats that every kid scribbles in the margin of their homework around Halloween, I've done almost no art of the little flying rodents. So today pulled up a reference book from my library and started making study sketches. About an hour and half later I had this.

Geez Baron, you call this a simple study sketch but really what I see here is a zoology text book grade illustration and then some. This is incredibly detailed for study sketches to the point where other artist could rely solely upon this for reference; and if this was your intent, I and many more aspiring doodlers must thank you for your efforts!
