So i have found out that the bats in Mexico are called free tailed bats. For my character design to be correct I would have to create one of these. However they are really ugly and actually quite scary And character designs need to have appeal to be engaging. And my target audience is going to be kids at around about 6-10 years old and i think they would be freaked out by this:
Fruit bats are a lot less scary and may possibly be better to use for kids but this wouldn't be native? so i was thinking of doing a mix of the two.
The eyes are much more engaging and less threatening and they look less mangy and dangerous. I think i could use the aesthetics of the fruit bat with the anatomy of the free tailed bat. So that would include a wing span of about 30-35cm a long tail and slightly bigger ears.
