Comment on Pivoting Pinions V.1 by swandog
Thank you so, SO much for posting this--I've been looking for a feasible way to go about articulated wings for months. x_x I'll have to make a separate post to gush about your incredible gallery, but for now, I just wanted to thank you.
You're welcome! 
But this design is rather old and outdated. You should check into how Bushitaka and Sunnybrook1 make their wings (depending on if you want them on your back or on your arms). And also these wing-makers:

Also, check out the wings in this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkzxvT…
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkzxvT…HOSNAP, those are crazy (from the BMW commercial, right?).
One of the other dA people you linked me to actually reminded me a lot of that commercial, but he might actually have done a better job. XD Those things are insane.
You should know, though, that I am no engineer and I ended up mostly using your Pivoting Pinions and your mockup-thing for the shapes in my wings. Not that I didn't take all your suggestions into consideration (I'm incorporating little details from several of them), I've just sort of fallen in love with your work, and it ended up being my favorite overall 'look.'
I'm nowhere near done, but I'll be posting if they work out.
Thank you for everything!!

Aww, so very glad to help! <3 That's what I posted them and all the info in the desc for (and also why my friends Bushitaka and Sunnybrook1 post all their how-to stuff)...we all just really want to see people make their own articulated wings, no matter which design (or mix of designs) they use!
