SF&F Picture 8 out of 9 by Jay Avery.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Winged man

There is quite alengthy story behind this picture. I'll try to keep it short. I had heard once that if man was to truly fly under his own power, like the birds, he would need a breast bone about six feet long to accomidate the muscles needed to flap the wings. If you look carefully you can see I've given this guy an artificial breast bone, I call a breast keel. It's that thing sticking out from his chest. Inside it is a fly wheel and gears which make the flapping of the wings easier on him. There is a whle world based on this guy, in my head.
