Patreon Exclusive: Fruit Bat!! (Patreon)

***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.It can be purchased once re-released according to this Schedule.Hi everyone!  Say hi to this cute little fella!  Since we already have the carnivorous leaf nosed Bat, I thought it would be fun to make it's vegetarian cousin... the Fruit Bat (aka. Flying Fox)!This Fruit Bat has an entirely new head sculpt and a similar yet revised body sculpt.It also includes the same features as the original Bat: Rubber Band powered flappy wings, clawed feet for hanging upside down, stands when balanced on its feet and tail, and multiple holding head positions (Head positions pictured above on the original bat).  Here is a video walkthrough of the original bat, the same processes apply to this one:  https://youtu.be/uuSkG2til2EI'm really happy with how this guy turned out, and I hope you enjoy it!
