Alejandro Paníkì, aka "Bryony". A character I've been sketching for a while now, still don't feel I've gotten him quite right yet but thought I'd post here anyway for suggestion/comments and because I haven't put anything up for a while.

Bryony is a Mindoro Stripe-faced fruit bat, a completely adorable critter that was discovered just last year. I've been itching to do a version of this species. Unfortunatly there's only one picture of this species online, so the colors/patterns of anything except his face is pure conjecture. Also, I've been wanting a bat character even though I hate drawing wings but do like the challenge of designing functional wing-arms.

Bry's a character in Elliot's world, an expiramental biologist with a rather . . . obsessive . . . interest in cross-species hybridization who, like Dr. Moreau, retreated to a beautiful tropical island to continue his research in peace after being outsted from the scientific community for his morally questionable expiraments. You wouldn't think he's very mad casually talking to him, though. He's soft-spoken, retiring, gentle, polite but unafraid to speak his mind, and clearly quite brilliant. Just, you know, don't sneak into his lab and pull the tarpulin off that cage that you hear strange noises coming from . . . .
