Description
Not as in-depth or detailed as the other three, but interesting in its own right.-----------------------------------------------
This is one of four anatomical studies I created for my Senior Art Exhibition, "Think∴Make". These studies are of the dragon species I have developed, the Romanian Three-Tail, and in this case, a female. General anatomy of the wing, including a cut-away revealing the Pneumatic Air Sac System in the propatagium (membrane connecting the 'wrist' with the shoulder), and a detail view of the tendons and muscles comprising the wing 'hand'.
For the species I've developed, I have looked into human, theropod dinosaur, avian, chiropteran (bat), large felid, and reptilian anatomy, and have applied a generic knowledge of biomechanics and physiology to map out potential ways for this animal to actually exist somewhere, if not on planet Earth. This creature has a lot of significance to me, and the strides I take to map out a feasible reality for said creature can be seen as an attempt to satiate my mind's desires for that very reality. Art, and science - who says they can't coexist?!?
All four drawings can be seen arranged together here: [link]
11 x 14 inches, .05 2B mechanical pencil on Bristol Vellum paper.

This is my favourite of your studies - I love the tendon detail for the wing hand, and you chose a great pose to display the wing with! The cut away is a really nice touch too c:

Awesome! I'm very happy that this image gets some attention - it certainly isn't as eye-catching as the other, more robust pieces, but there is certainly still some pertinent information in it. Much appreciated, and I'm happy that you enjoy it. : )

You're very welcome! Wings are one of those things I can find troublesome, so studies like this are educational as well as nice to look at! c:

I love it when people make plausible dragon designs (with a little tweaking to the environment around them). It makes me want to learn possible for such massive creatures to exist.
