Rotohail: It's funny that you mention bats, since bats happen to be one of about 2 animals (excluding humans) that I ever seriously tried to learn to draw, so it makes sense that some bat ended up in there. I definitely over-did the silhouetted scenery a bit; I'll try to do it more subtly next time.
Here's the new thing. I wanted to do at least one Mermay picture, but it ended up being more of a naga. It's finished, in the sense that I ran out of artistic ability and couldn't stand to look at it any more. I've only made a few serious attempts at drawing moving water, and it shows. I didn't have the patience to look for an exact reference so I winged a lot of it.
I'm not strictly concerned with painting the most realistic reflections, currents, and eddies, but I do want to paint water that looks "close enough", so comment freely. I suspect it goes from being see-through to being completely reflective too quickly.

A silly sketch.
