Shmoo's batwings unfurl.

Seamus the greyhound (Shmoo to his friends) laying on the couch looking away with his head resting on his upturned foot somehow. His gigantic batwing ears are beginning to unfurl. A noise outside has caught his attention.

Rouge with mechanical arms transforming into razor-sharp batwings is a fantastic concept. Bunnie's story would have been very different.

"Agent Crimson"
Here's a thought. What if, instead of Bunnie Rabbot, Rouge was the one who nearly got Robotized before fully becoming a Resistance member. So yeah, mechanical arms that transform into huge razor-sharp batwings. XD
........Wonder what Bunnie's up to? XD

Comment and Enjoy ^ ^

In my part of the world, wind is picking up outside. The air has a distinct chill. There's gonna be torrential rain the whole weekend.

Sounds like a good time to be cozy with a book in a vampire's library, or perhaps exploring a planet with a dry climate and amazing… artwork.

My two novellas against a starry background: THE NIGHT LIBRARY OF STERNENDACH: A VAMPIRE OPERA IN VERSE, which has batwings, fangs, and a book on the cover. THE GLASS GARDEN has white letters on a kaleidoscope image.

Just a reminder that it's the perfect season to read my dark, romantic, vampire opera in sonnets.

Could you put the laces through a hole in the batwings every second pass through the shoes?

But his arms retain their same tone, tan and 29. And if you've never seen her batwings, now you will.

@tedgioia.bsky.social making the case that Philip K Dick's "Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch," one of his most bonkers novels when it came out in 1965, is now a work of social realism. www.honest-broker.com/p/my-favorit...

Gioia on Dick: What a crazy book! Or at least that’s how it seemed back in 1965, when Philip K. Dick published The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. It was a strange book in a strange year.

But not anymore. The most demented things in this story are now a reality. Just consider….

A ruthlessly ambitious CEO who wants to relocate to Mars, and gets caught up in a fierce rivalry with another space-traveling technocrat.

All this is financed by the sale of addictive technology, which now becomes the focal point of people’s leisure hours.

Unwary citizens find themselves addicted to tech platforms, where users are represented by avatars. But the real goal of powerful tech enterprises is to lure users into compulsive behavior that can be monetized. And not just once—but day after day.

As a result, huge numbers of people waste their free time and spend all their money inside these make-believe platforms. They want to escape reality, not live in it.

Can you blame them. Global warming is out of control, and beyond any point where it can be fixed.

Meanwhile, a few wealthy elites are obsessed with transhumanist technologies for extending life—which often backfire.

In their struggles to maintain sanity in a dystopian world, people now get therapy from a chatbot—accessed via a device they carry with them wherever they go.

But some heavy users are so deranged by the emerging technology…..

Cover of 1980s paperback version of the book features a bonkers, industrialist-looking guy with bulging fish eyes and light beams emerging from his head in the shape of a Greek cross while he gesticulates meaningfully. His suitcoat is transforming itself into batwings in a creepy fashion.

Some low-stakes drawing prompts for folks that want to do some #darkart in October, I'm posting this up now to come up with ideas in the meantime. Extremely *low stakes,* only 15, meaning *it's not daily.* You can even pick 'n choose which ones you want to do, just get excited for dark stuff 🎃🦇🖤
