DAMN! WTF! Iggy and Fang are taken? No faiiiiir. I love Maximum Ride like I love ice cream! (If you know me, I go absolutely nuts for ice cream.)

Could I possibly join as a winged Ari?

@Rav - Iggy might not be... depends on if Alex can or not.

But winged Ari sounds pretty awesome!

Btw, concerning wings - it'd be best to make folding ones, I think, for sake of transport and mobility in crowds.
Also, being the maths freak that I am, I figured out several years ago that James Patterson's wing designs are not physically accurate. 14ft wings would not fold in accurate accordion against anyone's spine. They'd have to stick out at the top, above the shoulders, and go to at least the butt.
But yeah.

It actually took him quite a while to properly state that they were retractable. Up until then, I'd been thinking HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THESE GIANT FEATHERED MUTATIONS YOU CRAZY HUMANS!? So I've really just taken it into my stride. Perhaps in Patterson's head they really do somehow fit "snugly" into their backs. [/off topic]

If they fold, they will have to lock in place (unless they fold backwards) otherwise the weight will eventually break our hard work. T_T

This person has the right idea for wings:

It's a sketch, admittedly, but the concept is what I'm trying to get at

The fourteen feet wings are Fangs.

Spoiler:

They do actually pop up over his shoulders and Come down quite far when folded.

Though tbh, I think using the manga reference for how far the come above/below the characters head/spine, then scaling it to ones own body would eb the most accurate way.

I play on making Folding ones, as I Already have buttloads of reference and tutorials (which I'd gladly share, if you guys wanted it, and could wait until I compiled it).

Each Characters wings are different sizes in comparison to heights. if everyone posted their height, I'm sure RJayne or myself could scale them using the original wingspans and heights?

Also; Posted wing info in the new thread ~ https://cosplaynewzealand.forumotion.com/auckgeddon-f7/maximum-ride-flock-comp-11-looking-for-nudge-t8608.htm

I can most certainly co-ordinate wings to people's heights.
It'd almost be fun!
I'll set up a ratio tonight!

(Though I'm going to do 13ft or so, as that's Max's official length, even though my actual height would require a 14ft wingspan lol)
