After sketching I added my own spin to make it more original.  The outcome was a steampunk style bat.  I painted the background first.  Next I sketched it out and started painting it.  The painting is a mix of the natural and mechanical worlds.  The face was most difficult for me because it was so detailed.  If I started over I would change the wings and make them more symmetrical.  I really love the simplicity of the painting.  The style is not quite realistic and not quite abstract.
