Okay so I've been mulling over this potential closed species for 2 weeks now and only found the time to make a quick scribble. So basically this is like a cross between hummingbirds and bats; I've done some research on these two animals (like the anatomy, diet, behavior, etc.) and thought it was a cute concept--though I apologize if someone else had already done this already--if ever I'll try to tweak my own if that was the case.

Anywho--I'm very new to designing anthros (is this one even? x'D) so I'd like to know what you guys think and I'd appreciate any suggestions/ideas you may have (ESPECIALLY THE NAME LMFAO). For now I'm just calling these kiddos HummingBats cuz I'm so creative.

Anyway thanks for looking ;;; ;;;

Look at that butt cheek //clear no-- MASH THEM LATIN NAMES TOGETHER, SHIP IT LIKE AN OTP //hit

LMFAO clear why--just cos your shota senses tingled haha. And LMFAO LATIN--the greeks might smack me from the afterlife if i ship something strange haha

I can't help it! //cries- AHAH worth it though //no

/screams THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!! OOO: can't believe you have never designed anthros before. idtotallybuyonehnggg

WELL, as for the name... barbs. Bits. Hummingbats. /shot This is a stupid idea but... why not find a mix of avis/ales/volucris (birb in Latin) and vespertilio (bat in Latin)? You got all the freedom then. Avirtilio. Vespercris. Vesperales. Tiliocris. Whatever! :>

Ah gosh tysm for feeling that way ! T T
my only experience with anthro had always been those rare anthro comms that come and go. And lmfao your first suggestions I crie ahhaha. And goodness no your suggestion isn't stupid, latin always has this cool badass feel to it tho I'm concerned abt the meaning. I'll ponder on this a lot--ty again for the suggestions~

aaaaaaaaahh so cooooll loves the blu orbs they give an exotic peacock feel on the feathers *0* //tries to suggest a name ;; birbats batbirs bathummers //chokes

Ty! I saw similar marks on it from a hummingbird too and just added those orbs for color. And good lawd ur suggestions bahahaa//crying at hummers

this is beautiful for your first time designing an anthro. Hummingbats actually sounds pretty good, but maybe putting a little twist on the words would make it a bit more interesting! This species will go far for sure, kudos to you! c:

Waa I'm happy you feel that way! I was really worried since I don't have the aesthetic tastes of most anthro designers T T. I'm still pondering even now abt the name but we'll see where this will go haha. And thanks for the optimism, I very much appreciate it Q Q

That's a quick sketch?? Anyways, I totally love the idea!!

In a way since I barely shaded it. Anyway thank u!

Name suggestions...umm....Chirodae? Trochtera?

TY! And ohgosh chirodae sounds so cute tho its latin translation is killing me//died a bit. It would've been somewhere along the lines of "family of hands" //weeps at google

Even if you didn't use it for these that could certainly inspire you for something else XD
