Not only is a shorter tail more realistic, it also looks better IMO
Something that isn't quite clear in the drawing is that the tail is not just pointed to the right, but also towards the viewer a bit. So now I'm trying to figure out how to shape and shade the floof to make it look tilted by 30°
I think the center of mass is now okay, so the next thing I'm going to look at are the wings. I just don't like how much like a human hand the, uh.. "hand" part of the wing looks like. Bats don't have that either.
Looks like I'm pulling in a lot of inspiration from bats this time.
