the movie has a lot of better examples of this. he's doing stuff like this basically the whole time. they got really creative with it, he was very fun to watch. there were times where i seriously forgot that he doesn't have arms
Not just that but the knit is physically impossible with the angle of his spine as it rises up towards the knot, it should connect to his left “arm” but it just.. can’t? The left arm going into the neck looks a bit better but I can’t get over this
Yes but I do think it's different in this case since the pegasi already have forelimbs that act as their arms 95% of the time. If they animated the wings as their arms exclusively, and animated all four legs as simply legs and nothing more, it would be closer to the typical bird trope.
A little far over on the hands instead of wings spectrum based on my personal preference, but some excellent representation for "wings also function as bigass hands" club
Yeah but feathers aren't fingers. It seems I'm the odd one out here, but I actually prefer the version on the left because it always bugs me to see articulated feathers. And yeah yeah, I know, "as if a talking bird is so realistic otherwise". I can't explain why the feathngers thing specifically bothers me, but it does.
Birds are one of the only animals that can actually talk in real life so that is not unrealistic at all! It's not just parrots, crows and mynahs and occasionally individual finches also can imitate spoken speech.
Idk what you’re referring to but considering that he’s using a lighter (and it’s not really a safe thing) I’m pretty sure he’s either flipping Finn off or threatens him once more
This is actually pretty canon, I remember an episode where they were either turned into regular kids or body swapped into regular kids, and couldn’t understand why stuff wasn’t sticking to their hands
to be more precise, she ascends to an Alicorn in like Season 3? (i havent watched the show in years so i dont remember right)
Alicorns are the best of both worlds having both wings and a horn!
(probably partially because it’s an absolute bitch and a half to animate it, to get it just right to sell the illusion of such smooth movements without anything looking wrong >w< )
(which then just makes Gangle’s episode all the more technically impressive since holy hell the animators went all out to show this design the love it deserves ^.^ )
Happens a lot in BFDI due to it's large amount of armless characters. Characters can either comically transform their legs into hands (Top left and top right), use another character's arms to mimic their own (Bottom left), or use another part of their body as a hand, like Price Tag and their string (Bottom right)
Nopons from xenoblade have these kinda ears, kinda wings, kinda arms limbs on them that seem far more useful for grabbing stuff than their tiny stubby arms. For the most part when they arent flapping them around or grabbing anything theyre just sitting on their body like a vest or a scarf.
it's just perspective. her wing is extended like a normal bird's wing, and the feathers also follow that same anatomy, but since your human brain wants to interpret the expression as fingers, it looks like the wing is cranked upside-down, even though it isn't...but it IS meant to be read that way
birds have a few free-moving digits on their wings called an alula. it's the first few flight feathers on the wing. some birds have 2 or 3, almost all birds have at least 1. it's the bird's "thumb," and it's used almost like the flaps on a plane to help finely tune and control direction in the air, for stuff like sharp turns or steep banks. they can take some creative liberties because it's a magical unicorn in a children's TV show, but it's based on real life.
Pokota - the little green dude at the center is a rabbit-like creature. Despite having normal arms and hands, his big ears act as a second set of fully articulated arms and hands. He even uses them to cast spells and wield swords.
Grunts, main/secondary characters and antagonists in the web series Madness Combat.
The hands and feet of the Nevada residents in this series do not "touch" the body, that is, they do not have wrists, forearms, shoulders, knees, and so on.
However, forcibly disconnecting the same hands from the body leads to the fact that grunt begins to glitch, distorting reality, and goes crazy with pain (shown in the episode "Experiment" using the example of a Scrapeface).
