How are yours positioned, normally?
I find it comfortable to just leave them relaxed and spread, but hanging down. Feels good compared to having them clenched tight to my back all the time.
I don't often see wings portrayed this way, though, the way I have mine. >.>; It's all either tight and retracted to the back or spread out widely, holding them up.

When I have wings (as shifter-kin, I do at times), I tend to do sort of the same thing. I keep them a little more up because it feels odd on the... joints, I suppose, to let them hang all the way down, but I've never held them superclose or up high all the time. Too much work. XP When I have arm-wings instead of back-wings, though, I tend to keep them close to my arms. Otherwise, they get in the way of everything. I just try to rest them open or on things whenever I can.
As for the way wings are usually depicted... Well yeah. Holding them up and out or in and close is more dramatic. It's art! 3nodding I tend to draw wings, when I draw them, in less "natural" positions than they'd actually be held, simply because it looks cooler. And, perhaps more importantly, they're hard to draw all relaxed! xd Lots of folds and such...

-shrug- Me too, I suppose. My wings are now huge again though, so I'm kinda afraid of how it would hurt if I relaxed them. >___. So... fail@me. <3 Rufu

Does position affect posture?

My wings actually feel relaxed when they're pulled in against my back, but most of the time they're semi-open, kind of hanging around my shoulders.
I don't mind the wings so much, but I hate this constant desire in the back of my head to use them. Drives me nuts.

Keito-san Does position affect posture?
When sitting, I feel most comfortable leaned forward with the back of the chair at either side no matter what position they're in. Sitting straight up, as what's preferred as far as posture, with a surface on the back is irritating to most.
Eh, and the thread just shows again how everyone's different while similar. Just curious. :3

This is just a random relevation to me, but I just realized that I don't think any *real* animals have back wings....

~Serra Angel~ This is just a random relevation to me, but I just realized that I don't think any *real* animals have back wings.... You're right. It's because a 6-limbed creature in this manner, while possible, hasn't evolved because it hasn't needed to. Winged humans are possible, but due to the way they'd fit together, we wouldn't have nearly as much pulling power as we do. Nor would we be able to lift our arms very high... Well, not the way I'm thinking. It'd also mess with our musculature a little bit... Anyway, you're right. And I prefer my arm-wings to back-wings, actually. Feels a little better for me. More natural, somehow...

Wings are designed to be longer than our arms- our skeletal structure would have to shift so our arms would fold properly, and they would point back at a sharp angle to properlyu flap. They'ed also probably be position in our lower back to properly distribute weight.

Nah, you could do it at the shoulderblades. The wings would have to be fricken HUGE, though, to support our weight. And muscley.
Also, I think they were asking about 6-limbed beings, 4 limbs with wings on their back. If they're talking about 4-limbed beings with wings... Well, uhh, birds? We could be build more like birls or pteridactyls and then we'd be able to fly.

Sort of. Or, if they were feathered, like birds. People forget that birds' wings are the equivalent of their arms pretty often, it seems. 'S weird.
But yeah, we could. The membrane would just have to connect all down our sides - probably to the hip at least - to get enough surface area to life off. Still... That'd be pretty cool!

But our bones are pretty heavy. And when we weren't flying, we'd have these huge flaps of skin just getting in the way. crying
