Update on Vulture

Some things I need to redo: wings.

V-V-Vulture!


These things are HUGE. I bet some have grown big enough to be mistaken for the Thunderbird. Seeing turkey vultures up close and hearing their wings flap at take-off (and from quite a distance), I can understand why. It's frightening, bizarre, and amazing at the same time.

Also, talons belonging to big birds like these vultures and bigger owls can pierce right through your hand. Just one of those things I don't think about first. I should keep this in mind if I come across a turkey vulture again.


P.S. This is work in progress. I want the feathers to be individual meshes as well, so they can stick off the body and wings. This will bring the wings to their full, proper size.
