Well in reality I don’t think Melody’s or the sculpture wings would support a horse for flying. First of all horses don’t have hollow bones like brids so they are much heavier proportion wise just because of bone density. Even if their bones were hollow they might not be strong enough to support so much muscle that horses have to have for movement on the ground (galloping, jumping etc). But huge wings on a piece of art that may be anatomically correct might just look weird. Who wants to live in reality land anyways?
You’re taking it way too literal. I was speaking in that Melody’s wings actually have the anatomy that birds would have in their wings. The thick base and all. The sculptures wings are all thin at the base, that could never generate any lift.
Uhhh… I think she was replying to Kitsunelady’s post.. XD She actually asked this, specifically:
kitsunelady wrote:Yeah, the wings are the most similar bit. >.> Pointy-like. I definitely like the tail on Melody’s better…the feathers are a nice touch.
I wonder how big wings would actually have to be to hold a horse up? Or even get it off the ground? I guess he could jump off a cliff or something…

My art: featherdust.comIn the reality of this earth, with the conditions we currently experience here on earth, a horse as it is could never fly, even with huuuge wings.
That’s why fantasy art is so fun. We get to try and make the impossible look possible.Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comSo true, Jen! That and it’s fun to imagine such similar creatures and places might exist on other planets in our vast universe!
I just hope I win its auction!
Yup Yup that’s the post I was replying to. If you get it machineguts you have to show us pics after you paint it!!!
If you get her, MG, this will be something to look forward to when she’s done. I’m waiting for that Avatar head you got to be finished!

it is just coincidence. The sculpture has none of my glaring anatomical mistakes in it.
Thanks so much Kitsune, and me too LadyFirebird! I can’t wait until he arrives.
And what anatomical mistakes, Melody? I’m blinded by awesomeness. 8)

Actually, I think Melody’s wings are more “potentially realistic” than the wings on the sculpture. (Lovely as the sculpted horse is.)

I agree with you there.

Melody stop lowering your work. :spank:
Each artists is different in their own way and artists are their own worse critics.
Your work is fantastic and unique to you. NicoleH wrote:Yup Yup that’s the post I was replying to. If you get it machineguts you have to show us pics after you paint it!!!
Ah, I see. Because you didn’t use the quote button, I thought you were replying to me. Confused :p
