My very favorite of the night. Possibly new favorite of the month if not a close second to this one:

Pet's name: Sprite
... or possibly this one:

Aww heck! Who am I trying to kid! There's not a dog this month that I WON'T end up hoarding. ^_^ Every single one is perfect.

The horse! <333
It's so beautiful! I really like how the design was drawn on. But the only thing that I would have preferred was that the wing edges be bolded a bit more. It just blends a bit too much for my taste, so that it almost would have looked better without the feathery feeling or at least brought down into the legs and belly more. The face is my favorite part. 8D

Anyone know what type of bird this is supposed to be? :3

It looks like a Kestrel. More specifically, an American Kestrel, if my experience with the beautiful little things is accurate.

Yulynh lives in France, it is highly likely that the species is European o3o
Let me fetch that bird field guide I bought in France last summer.....
Loves bird watching

It is a falco tinnunculus, faucon crécerelle, in english, common kestrel, unless google is mistaken.

It differs from the American kestrel in a few ways I can see. The male American kestrel has blue wings and a brown tail, while the common kestrel has brown speckled wings and a blue uniform tail, as depicted on that horse :3
The female American has brown speckled wings aswell, but her tail is definitely brown and barred with thin streaks.

Carries bird nerdiness away

I love the hair and whiskers on this one. A dragon well done, in my opinion. ;3


Bah, the wings, the wings! <3


The color, the design and the lineart are just so gorgeous! And I love that the little tufts of hair on the front leg makes it look like a little wing. <3


Beyond my favorite of all the CNY dogs. The eyes are just so breathtaking and stunning! ;D

Yeah, I realized the difference when I checked an American Kestrel picture to attach it, I was just too lazy to fix it. XD

Well I'm still hoarding them in reverence of the wildlife rehab mascot I know, the noisy little bugger. :3

Arrrrh! Now that makes sense with the items!

It makes sense just as well with the other canines as well .. oô

I think you like blue....

I love the feather type things on the legs!! <3

This horse is absolutely stunning, I love how the birds colours/patterns are drawn on him - beautiful!


Heh - it does look like a monkey tail!

[KiwiKoala]

So. Much. Love. The way the concept of bird markings on horses has been carried out is... astonishing. The textures are beautiful, and it's wonderful to see such simple coloring look so professional. Favorite of the month. Definitely.

I love this guy. <3 And I agree, that horse is really amazing! Very well-made. I can't wait for my favorites to grow now. :3
