Dragon wings model

Hey,
Maybe it will be a bit picky, since game is still in a development, but judging from official wiki page dragon model looks more or less define. So what do you guys think about model itself?
My suggestion is to make some changes to wings. More like it is in nature (bats for example). For now wings looks very unappealing to me, like they wouldn't work on a real creature. Like they don't have capacity to catch wind and lift that massive body.
I hope that model isn't final yet, but if it is, I leave my thoughts here

Now, on the contrary there is a named and normal dragon called the Elder Dragon on the wiki too that has the sort of wingspan that you're looking for.
So, that wing design is actually pretty realistic and makes sense when it comes to being able to mount them and ride around on their backs imo. Everything I've said could just be down to semantics in wording but there seems to be a pretty clear distinction for a reason, guess we'll find out!
It looks like Onyxia ate Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic 4 and gained elasticity powers.
And those wings are already a big complain in the community, they will probability upgrade them
Well I hope so ...
You guys should have studied Biology or Engineering before being able to say that wings are "realistic" or not because they are complex organs which were developed by one of the best engineers we have ever seen: Biological Selection.
Pterosaur isn't wyrmling And pointy wing isn't a problem, only membrane surface and overall scaling. Even on your pictures wing/body ratio is different and acceptable. Also Pterosaur has 2 legs and 2 wing-arms, while dragon got 4 legs and 2 wings. But in AoC it looks like a some kind of mix (by biological selection xD). Also Pterosaur stretch his whole body to make the surface even bigger (like flying squirrel). You cant attach same wings to different creature and call it a day.
bats got similar wing membrane but more dragony look, but still the aren't wyrmlings
The Wyrmling doesnt have 4 legs. He has 2 small hindlegs and uses his wings as forelimbs.
Imagine it as a fiery, oversized lizard pterosaur. Wyrmling =/= Dragon.
There are many different kinds of "Dragons" in Ashes, with Wyrmlings being one of the most common as far as i know.
@Namil Already posted a picture of one of the "real" dragons in Ashes, whose claw is as tall as a player btw.
yeah and I replied that even on wiki they call "ugly one" either dragon or wyrmling which is confusing. The one from dungeon is just reskinned version from my first post and they call it dragon.
Whatever they call it I don't wanna argue in sake of arguing cause you are missing the point of this topic => wings looks ugly and unnatural on that thing which may be a dragon, but ofc this is only my opinion.
The "real dragon" looks cool though.
I will just wait for final release
I think that you have something mixed up....
The Dungeon endboss IS A WYRMLING. A so called Pyroclastic Wyrmling if i am not wrong. It is just a upscaled version of the standard wyrmlings with a different skin.
You really like to argue in sake of just arguing don't you?
according to internet wyrmling is a small dragon or wyrm. Since wyrm is wingless and limbless then I assume it's dragon.
I ask you straight forward => Do you like look of wyrmling wings?
Yes? cool. No? then we agree
Lets just stop this nonsense
I dont know if you want to be dense or not....
They named their creatures how they want to name them, not after how everyone else wants to call something.
A Wyrmling here is what a wyvern would be in our world.
And yes I do like the wing design, but my problem was not that you didnt like them (I dont care enough for the topic tbh), but that you said that they should "make them more realistic" even though they are already realistic...
I think he's getting confused over your earlier post
Since it is called a wyrmling and has hind and fore legs, and also uses its wings as psuedo limbs for support as it moves.
what you fail to prove, that's why I am still replying to you.
every time you quote me, you don't give any counter argument just switching the subject. We won't probably come to an agreement. So let it be.
Peace man
They’re all just subtypes of dragon, now can we please all agree that realistic or not, the current iteration looks like origami?
I don't care about realistic
Stable diffusion cab make all the dragons you want, even ones that are kinda fat from gorging on villagers
