It wasn’t her wings or teeth that gave it away. But the reflection she did not have.
When I started this piece I was planning to paint a reflection. Silly me. Looks unsettling without it which I think fits the scene.

You’re absolutely right. But it doesn’t fit our modern fictional view of vampire wings. Though I did consider being more realistic for a moment and having the wings attach all the way down to the ankles and so on.
I want to clarify that I’m straight up accepting the physiology and, separately, wanted to spread the bat explanation!
Bat knowledge is always good knowledge to share!
