Description
"The body of a preserved human-avian has been dissected, exposing it's inner-workings. The muscle is so red from the mitochondria in the muscle cells, ensuring plenty of energy for extensive activity. The intricate connections enable the whole use of the body during flight. The ligaments and muscle tissue stretch in a dramatic, still pose; a display of the finest work as if God Himself had formed it so....an angel in the flesh."-Dr. Viktor Maut (Ascending)
"Human-Avian Exposed" will be the title for the anatomy book, I'll be creating as part of the Ascending Trilogy. It will be a separate book from the Art and Illustrations book and the Character profiles.

Brilliant! To be honest, this is actually close to some of the sketches I've been working on regarding human-avian anatomy.
The pectoral muscles are smaller to accommodate the avian pectoralis and supracoracoideus.
One thing that catches me at times is the sternal keel, which, in human-avian terms, would call for a lengthened chest/torso.
This would cause the rib cage to be smaller because of the muscles, and the ribs would be overlapping to prevent them from collapsing to the strength of the wings.
These are just my thoughts, though, I could be wrong...
Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see more!

yes, i have a similar theory. the internal muscles have to be strong too. getting all the layers is quite the challenge.

Late comment is so late! @^@
The layers are definitely a challenge, my character has four wings; in order to make them actually realistic/functional is I've had to lengthen her chest and torso, shrink most of the internal organs except the heart to accommodate the air sacs and lungs, and figure out the keel so the two extra sets of the pectoralis and supracoracoideus can fit accordingly. There's more muscle in the chest than the back since the supra is under the pectoralis and wraps up around the shoulders.
It's the really hard part, she's like to be nearly 200 centimeters in height because of it.
One thing I still struggle with is how long to make the keel without sacrificing the flexibility of an avian-human, I've considered making the lower portion cartilaginous but I'm still uncertain...
Perhaps some of the pectoralis fuses with the abdominal muscles to provide extra support and strength?

I've found that simply explaining that they have extra mitochondria (energy maker in cells), this gives larger amount of energy to voluntary muscles that seem small. So larger heart, larger lunge, air sacs, lean but more nergized and stronger, flexible muscle. Plus if you look at people like Roy Elghanayan, he is small, but wicked strong and vicious. I'll be building the full skeleton hopefuly soon, maybe that will help with the keel. It's going to still be a modified keel, like the modified scapulae.
Yes, but it will interior connective muscle and tendons.

Very true, indeed. Avian species do have nucleated red blood cells, so with the extra mitochondria, it would seem a win-win situation without having
to add excessive bone or muscle which could compromise form overall.
I can't wait to view your design on the skeleton, a more modified keel would definitely be an interesting take on the hybrids.

i cant wait to finish it either, lol
