What wings? No disrespect to the artist, it's an amazing animation, but let's not pretend like our bro here has a second wing. It didn't show much in sketch, but with the render... I wasn't gonna say anything about it, but your comment made me chuckle because of this, so I couldn't resist 😁 Actually, I think I can see something looking like a poorly erased second wing in the beginning, so maybe it turned out looking too confusing and was scraped out.

It actually looks like a scientifically accurate dragon!

It does indeed

I have a massive special interest in birds and flying, I love this! I love the power that goes into it, the way it’s not a simple up and down motion. I’ve seen all too many animations where the creatures just seem to float along, the wings merely an accessory to the movement. But they feel more like the driving force of it here, as it actually is

Это зависит от способа полета. Здесь дракон машет крыльями, что бы удерживать в воздухе свою массу. А в случае левитации, когда вес за счет поля обращается в ноль, это именно, что и будет: загребанием в воздухе, что бы просто придавать себе двигательный момент. Эм, просто счаз фанфик графоманю, и там, допустим, люди летают за счет отвода с себя импульса гравитационного поля. То есть, они рили плавают в воздухе, и поэтому ходят в таких одежках, с длинными рукавами, как у кимонух; типа планировать на воздушных токах как-то им помогает.

The way it all clicked together when the wings came in :0

Looks insane, few critiques tho: I’d draw the right wing and leg, as even if they’re behind, you’d still be able to see the edges of them poking out a small bit also when doing the upstroke on the wings, I’d make the fingers fold down slightly, because it looks a bit too rigid tbh Other than that, looks amazing 👍

As a tip to a new animator, remember secondary motion. That's the concept where when one thing moves, it causes other things to move (for instance, fur or floppy ears will trail behind movement a small bit or a muscle will flex and look thicker/thinner- look at this animation, how there's almost a wave of motion that travels down the dragon) It's tough, but it adds life!

I love the fact that this dragon is called a wyvern , which is also a two-legged dragon. Plus I love the way you use Ibis paint as a genuine animation software that you used to animate this dragon. I also enjoyed on seeing you join circles in a way to assist the actual and realistic movement of the dragon as well as its keels. It gives the dragon a lot much more realistic character in terms of the way it flies.

Just a small detail I like is how the neck goes in and out to show force, very awesome animation!

Downbeat looks to be missing a step. Should be pushing the air down and also back. This usually gives the downbeat almost an S- or C-shape motion. Upbeating wings can also be pulled in slightly to reduce how much air is pushed up, since that would make staying in the air harder. :) Great animation! Just some things I noticed.

Not only does pointing the alula (thumb part) of the wing upwards help reduce air resistance, it also redirects air backwards and at the same time downwards, producing thrust and lift even on the upflap.

Just a critique: downbeats are usually longer than upbeats to increase lift. I noticed you have the upbeat almost twice as long. For reference: the heavier a bird is, they’ll have longer downbeats compared to their upbeat. Very small birds have about a 1:1 ratio, large birds usually glide most of the time, but when they do flap, downstroke is longer by about two times. Awesome animation though, I hope I’ll do something this good someday 😆👍

My comments are good for the algorythm tho, so be happy that I got so annoyed at the "this is a wyvern" comments and feel the need to correct them.😂

I'm confused. Why are the wings still fully extended on the upstroke? Wouldn't that create a force that pushes the dragon downwards? Don't birds bring their wings in on the upstroke and extend on the downstroke? Maybe I'm just misremembering how flying looks like. It is a cool animation, and I like how the whole body moves with the motion. Really makes it feel like there's power behind the wingbeats.

Dragons are their own separate mythical species because, as you said, dragons don’t need wings however wyverns do. In addition wyverns do not breath fire but usually have a venomous bite or breath acid. They are also smaller than dragons and have venomous/poisonous spikes all over their tail. I do see why you thought that wyverns are a type of dragon as they are very similar. Don’t worry to much though because many people don’t even know the word “wyvern” :3
