Hey, I need help figuring out how tundra's work... I'm mostly having issues with the Wings and toes. I offered to draw some art for @HouseStark and they asked me to draw their Tundra, Skittles(Pic below) and her owlcat(not included here). I always sketch traditionally, so I grabbed the iPad and I traced the Tundra image. Then I can draw a skeletal structure on it and figure out how they move to accurately shift the pose and such.
And some things on the Tundra just don't add up right. I understand it is a fictional pixel dragon, but most of the ones on this site have an animal of reference(i.e. Spirals and snakes) But I can't figure out how the toes on the front feet or the wings work for the life of me.
When you look Closely at the toes, there is no real number or order to which goes to which foot/leg. The toes with the yellow dot go to the back, and the ones with the black dot go to the front, but then there's the toe pointed at with the Red arrow. Which foot does it belong to? It looks like it should be the front but that wouldn't work skeletally?
I THINK That each foot has four toes, and that the fourth on the back foot is out of perspective. That means that the Fourth toe on the front foot should be where the pink line is, or back a bit farther like the last toe on the back foot?
If the front foot is right then the back foot is all wrong and vice versa. Plus if you look at Crim she has three "fingers" and a "thumb," there is no evidence of this on other Tundra? Furthermore, The back foot looks like a Paw, which is formatted With two short toes on the outside and two level longer toes on the inside, meaning a thumb would work great. The front foot not only shows no evidence of this format, it looks like a human foot Longest/"Big toe" to shortest/"Pinky toe," which leaves no room for a thumb. Did the Tundras forget how to foot?
And another is that the toes on the back look like they arch up, but the front ones look like they arch down. If the back toes arch down, that means the palm is likely against the ground, but if they arch down, they walk on their toes, much like cats and dogs. How do Tundra feet work?
And then there's the wings. From the look of things, they are Jointed, like fingers and bat wings. But the obvious joints(marked with white dots) Do not match in number. The front most finger looks like it has THREE joints, but then the one right behind it looks like it has FOUR. The one behind that looks like it goes back to three, and the last one looks like it might have two or three. The Pink dots are where I presume joints would be on the wings to make them make sense. But that makes for FOUR joints per finger. Most animals I know of only have three. The big dot is the "wrist," so should the four "fingers" should only have three joints or should I go with four?
Does anyone know?
