CHARACTER - Krylos - Male
« on: August 15, 2004, 09:18:02 am »


Don\'t have much time now with my current project, but I did say I would attempt the Krylos.

Given the body size and that they are able to fly, I had to adjust the body structure and wing size. I would imagine the bone structure being very light / hollow of sorts. The rippled surface of the body is MASSIVE sized tendons that would surround the bones completly as well as give the ability to move the very large wings. Figure 4 to 5 times the height of the Krylos. The flaps under the arm and knees give it fine detailed manuvering during glide mode. The arms and legs are different as they are oval shaped down the shaft, little flatter inside the limb, when brought close together they have a similar structure to a plane, reduce drag a bit. The head and shoulders have a wedge shape so the body can cut into the air better. The hands ended up with five fingers but had a three finger version somewhere in my pile =/

Limited texture was applied, mainly at the head to give a genral idea of how the rest of the body would look like. Again sorry for not shading and texturing this. Just wish I had more time so I could get side tracked from my project.

I am sure someone is going to say ?Klyros can?t fly they can only jump high & no fall damage, the Klyros wings are to weak to fly?, but I think it is excellent!
It looks better like this...  :D

The head is different, but you could add fins/whatever later if you wanted to?
Once you?re finished, & I am not to busy with Guild/Other Models/school whatever I want to make a model of this Klyros!

Whoa nice version of the Krylos.
but imo, id think their legs (knees) are to thin to take the impact of landing hard .

Aye this is true, I should have redesigned the knees. Reversed knee caps, similar to birds, which reinforce the structure on landing impact. More muscle and enlarged tendons as well, would also increase grip power.

Actually should have clipped the wings completely with such a leg redesign. The reversed knee joint with additional muscle would allow it to leap large distances. Coupled with more flap under the arms would also allow it to glide. (a movie came to mind...can\'t remember the  title...Charlie Sheen and aliens he discovers that live among us... Not scary movie 3 either =p hehe) Some reason it seems more practicle for leap/distance travel.

The head makes it look like a Gungan from Star Wars. Savion likes the rest.

Certaily not me, as one can read from:

Includes my reasoning and some rule concepts.

From what I\'ve seen that doesn\'t look much like a Klyros, but it would make a good monster or maybe another race?
