Have to note that the propatagium (the "extra" sail between the wrist and the shoulder) is /not/ optional. It serves to give the wing its aerodynamic shape, generates a lot of lift, and, at least in birds, houses the ligament that holds the wing fixed when it's fully open. cdn.tutsplus.com/vector/upload…

Yeah, this is a made up creature, it's not supposed to be realistic yada yada, but just FYI.

I love when I find a person with a similar dragon drawing style as me!! <3
(This was very helpful!! I was trying to find a new way to connect the wings and the body.)

This is a fantastic quick tutorial! Thank you! It makes me curious about how they'd work with horses (like demon pegasus)

NakaseArt In reply to Opearl [2013-09-16 21:03:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much

It would take some engineering because a horse body doesn't have a tail to steer it in the air realistically. I'd suggest thinking through some of Earth's flying or gliding creatures to figure out how it can be done.

Awesome Work on the tutorial. I hope ya don't mind I used the tutorial to help with a pose I was trying to achieve. I'm crediting the ref to this page.

heres the link if you wanna see. [link]

NakaseArt In reply to DeVoutNumelran [2012-02-03 17:31:02 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind at all ^^ It's why I made it.

Looking real nice Next thing I'd suggest is looking into the muscle groups of arms/legs. Lots of scale work takes patience, keep it up

Thanks for making this tut. I always have great ideas for wings, but, whenever I go to put them on paper it's like they don't come out right.. if you know what I mean! XD

NakaseArt In reply to Plastreaka [2011-06-16 00:36:31 +0000 UTC]

I do know what you mean, and looking off of birds and bat have really helped me out a lot. This is more of just my interpretation of nature ^^ Keep working at it and it'll turn out right.
