Description Worked on this off and on for a while. Listening to paranormal shows and such....
I need to finish my commissions...

Anywho, Legend seems to have snatched a vampire bat who made the fatal mistake of flying too low.

It's a mysterious thing, but after Selma Black was hanged, more and more of these bats appeared in the village..... causing illness and insanity (to them it was insanity, to us its rabies)

And even a strange and eerie fog shrouded her home and the woods around it....

Legend however, seemed to be neither affected or infected by these bats, and if anything, benefited from their invasion.

Even when Selma was alive, he'd feed on these night dwelling creatures.... and never ever got sick.

Was all this the result of Selma's curse? Was Legend bringing it on?
Who can say? (well.I can! xD )

What a deviously mysterious feline.....


Here's the original poem featuring Selma Black and Legend:


Selma Black, Owned a Black Cat.
Selma Black did not wear a "witch's hat".
She did not ride a broomstick to black masses,
But she did meddle a bit into Dark Magics.
Selma Black kept in cages, little black bats.
With their blood,made a brew, and said a chant.
Then cursed and broke Momma Wickerson's back.

Selma Black lived nearest the woods alone in a shack.
Her door, like her hair, was painted black.
Selma heard a knock at the door, opened it up and was wrestled to the floor.
She was lifted, wrists bound.
Then was taken outside, saw the villagers, and made such a sound.
Barking mad, she laughed, and kicked a man to the ground.
The other man, whose hands still held her,
Shrieked in pain, for her touch became as hot as a flame.
When released she started to spin and sing.
"You rid thou's village of my body, but I shall still haunt thou's thoughts and dreams!"

Selma Black, who owned a cat, was tried and Hanged....
And they know now, that the act was a mistake.
At night when their children fall to sleep, a legendary cat starts to sneak.
It sits in the trees, eyes like embers.
And watches wickedly, at those who remember
They Kick and scream and wake up in sweats.
The feline knows, that Selma Black, though dead.
Will never leave these Villagers' heads.

And here's some other images:

My friend was pet-sitting for a cat named Lulu once and when she got to the house that day there was a dead bat head and the thumbs from the two wings lying on the floor. Everything else was eaten by Lulu. The head was given to me for the skull. It's been disinfected and whitened now and is really awesome looking.

Sorry, I couldn't help but think of that when I saw this pic. Very nicely done, by the way. I like the posture of the cat with the spooky atmosphere.

LOL That was a cool story actually
And thank you soo much for the comment
You should make a mold of the skull so you can make necklaces to sell. I'm sure some people would be interested in that

Haha, you're welcome! Do you have any knowledge of making casts of objects? I have seen little brass bat skulls on eBay and have had to force myself away from buying them because they're so cool!! I'd love to make my own.

LOL I wish I knew how, I've got a few skulls in a tree that would sell for a good price(deer, coyote,and a horse skull). I need to bleach them though first. Bat skull earrings or necklace pendants would be such a cute addition to a wardrobe (even crow skulls)
