Mythical May: Wingalings part 1

So, it's late. and instead of a sketch I'm just throwing in a bunch of old drawings from as far back as 6 years ago. It's all on my progressing knowledge of how Human wings should work. and the central star of this story is someone you've never heard of, Vic's brother David

David was the second person I created after Vic, and ironically is his older brother. Anyway I always had fun experimenting with this character, and one of the first things that stuck was his "Winged form."
But what I wanted to do with those wings was make them human wings. Not Gargoyle wings, or bat wings, or Demon wings, and especially not bird wings. I needed to figure out how that would work (and this early sketch was definitely not it).
Well starting with the classic Gargoyle/Demon is always a good start, but if you take away the webbing it's just two big claw things coming out of his back...
Well, if a human had wings, maybe they would look a little more like their own arms. so it should look like arms only with very long fingers and lots of webbing...
That's way too batlike though, Let's go with a little less webbing and keep with the second set of arms.
And now we have something really swell.

But we aren't done yet. After all, the body works as a whole. If you add wings, you have to make some changes here and there. We'll continue that one with Wingalings part 2 on Mythical May
