Species: Bat (Hoary Bat)
Body Type: Extra Thicc
Profession: Markswoman
I've never found anthro bat designs to be satisfactory. The integration of the wings into the arms is always incredibly awkward, leading to many complications with clothing and daily life. Imagine having a sheet of blood vessels hanging from your side, to your armpits, and to your wrists at all times. Or even going to the realism route and having the hang morph into the structure of the wing some way. Every shirt needs to be a poncho, at the least.
Now, there is some interesting value in problem solving these things, but I mainly don't see it being done meaningfully or it's done very awkwardly (in my opinion anyway, but I'm biased). There's a huge amount of problems caused by many anthro designs trying to incorporate various animals features, so I try to be pragmatic and solve the ones I need to and avoid the ones I can't/don't want to. Especially when the main point of the image is the play to the sexual aspects of the design.
As such, I imagined the wings as vestigial. They've regressed to the elbows and lead into the spine/tailnub. Not exactly "correct," as bats wings are more like a bisection of the bat, but it's reasonable. Removing it from affecting the silhouette is important, as to show off the body. The "extra thicc" body type implies (as I interpret it) and having very pushed hourglass curves, but also being shaped as an "S" when viewed from the side. She's got depth, along that Z-axis fellas.
Or course, being overly endowed like this brings its own problems, but its necessary to ignore those so the neuron activates in out monkey brain.
Other things: The rifle is a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle, used in WW2 I think. As such, the outfit design reflects the era. Didn't make it into the painting as I found it too complicated to draw. She's still a markswoman tho. Her head design is based off the Hoary Bat, as I wanted to draw her looking floofy. I'm actually quite happy with that part.
