Musculature Reference Sheet of my Kestrel Dutch Angel Dragon, Sniper!

You can check out his skeletal study here! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18741726/

As the watermark suggests, I've been sitting on this one for a hot minute before posting it! I've been churning out so many new pieces during deployment, I'm still backlogged with posting earlier personal art, hehe!

This is the second part of the mini 'series' I did focusing on Sniper's anatomy! I go much more in-depth into his attributes and flight physiology on his Reference Sheet, ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17540335/ ) whereas this is the 'below skin deep' evolution showing just how specialized his muscle groups are! It also really emphasizes his lithe, Avian anatomy! From the longer torso to his s-shaped neck, physically longer than other Dutch ADs, but normally covered up with copious amounts of floof making the bird-like posture slightly less noticeable!

A huge aspect of his anatomy are his extra large pectorali and (not visible in this Reference) supracoracoideus muscles that permit flight! I like comparing how huge this muscle group in particular is in comparison to the actual 'wing arm' muscles, emphasizing that his power comes straight from the chest, with ample space placed aft of the forelimbs! These big muscles give him the strength to soar for days on end, and also the endurance to hover nearly solitary in place before diving on an unsuspecting foe - in true Kestrel fashion, of course!

Aaaahhhh, I love working on Refs like these! They are so cool and different. I definitely want to open Commissions for these when I get back stateside! :D
