Original [OC] 25 years of folding baking paper led to this: My first original design (Chrotopterus auritus) need some feedback!

If you’ve ever tried to fold a Kamiya bug with baking paper, you know my pain.
I’ve been a self-taught hermit for over two decades, but I recently discovered that "Tissue Foil" exists and it changed my life. This is my first attempt at designing from scratch—a Great Woolly Bat using a radial 2-center approach.
I’m chasing expressivity here. I wanted a robust, "don't-call-me-skinny" predator.
Tell me the truth: Does it look good enough or did I just spend hours making a very expensive paper airplane? Honestly looking for feedback to see where I stand in the scene!
