#aviananatomy #wings #furcula #wishbone
So to finish this sequence there's a recap of diagrams showing why you need to think about avian anatomy when creating fantasy characters
ONE the major wing muscles attach to the keel and furcula
TWO this why birds have a pectoral girdle and narrow hips
THREE so if you were drawing a say cockatoo humanoid hybrid biped where would you place both wings and EXTRA collar bone or how would you change it ?
FOUR or if you modelled your winged biped on say a crane (photo above) with a longer narrower torso note how the long legs and neck probably counterbalance each other in flight and are not just so the crane can wade through wetlands ?
Your choice you can go on using the "but wah its MY fantasy !" excuse or you can create a way to have anatomically correct believable characters who could still be "cute" ?
