Just for fun

Because side views are nice to show you how it's put together, but action shots are more fun. The probably-going-to-be-called-a-fantail, posed as seen in its first ever literary apperance, which I wrote a few hours ago.

How about 'crested fantail'?

Those eyes...they stare right into your soul and beg. I don't care if it does have sharp claws I still want to cuddle it.

[wolfmare.livejournal.com]

Have to agree. It's cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

[galadrieltypo.livejournal.com]

Another agree....the soulful eyes were my first impression. Also something about the way it's holding its hands.....like it's shy, or caught off guard.

I also vote for crested fantail

Just in a vague FYI fashion, there's a bird in NZ called a fantail.

All the good names are always taken. XD

Fantail or Flying Fantail seems reasonable.

However, it also looks kind of like the dragonflies in Ursula Vernon's Nurk as well as the other creatures mentioned in the comments to your previous post, so it might also be called a Strange Attractor.

Aww it looks like a little female or a very young male.

Also Crested Fantail best name evar and i so want to make a fursuit out of that D: that's just the coolest thing ever.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

He he he. Thanks! It would be an interesting critter to try and make a fursuit of, certainly.

[majy-the-dragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah it would be

Awwwww cute enough to eat ^^

Great job on both these sketches, no matter what its name ends up being. ;)

From this angle, the shape of the face reminds me a little bit of a horse. This suggests names such as "featherhorse" or "skyhorse".

Fantail would be a good name too, even if it is already used. A slight variation of the name could work too, though; something like "fanta", "fantal", or "fail"... (No, wait, scratch that last one!)

Combining some of the other good ideas I see posted here, we get "cresttail", "skycrest", "flufftail", "skyfluff", "crestflier", et cetera. Or you could just use "crest", or even shorten that to "cres". That seems to fit, too.

Awww. It's so cute. I wanna hug it.
