A slight request.

In Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's co-authored book, there is a
recurring picture:  An hourglass with bat wings coming out at the sides
from the center.   I was wondering, if any of you talented artists could
maybe attempt this?  Just a slight request.  Mark.

The best example of them I think is (only have the paperback here) about
two pages in from the front cover.
                _____
               \ ___ /
         _. -: ||   || :- ._
   _.- `     `.|`. ,'|.'     ' -._
.:`,_   _     _[] X []_     _   _,':.
      '   `:'  | ' ` |  `:'   '
               ||___||
               /_____\


That's the basic shape of it.
Feel free to have a diddle around.
