Cool Idea and i like the way the three grafics look (white borders around picture cut outs, pastel backgrounds, minimalist design in strong colors), but what happened there with Treville's .... wings?
That looks more like this viking torture and execution method, how did they call it? The spreadeagle? Yeah sounds abuot right, the one where they open your chest cavity and spread the broken ribs out to look wing-ish, just like these blood-red stripes there :P)
That's just because they're red... I'm so bad at drawin with either mourse or pad so I can't manage anything more obviously wing-like. But It should be clear enough what with the halo. (Look, the halo even is two-coloured to simulate depth. I'm a genius! XD)
nah, they simply go in the wrong direction... as you've drawn it he basically has decorative feathers like i don't know... a peacock's wheel... wings... just look at your icon... wings have at the upper side a pair of arms to move the feathers and all feathers then spread out to the ground/feet/arse side of the figure they're attached to.
Or look at money, the "Bundesadler" are always nicely symbolic and simplified, again a soft bow at the top and the feathers going downwards from there not upwards from the eagle's back.
But yeah, i like the Halo (now in 3D :P) and his look too... "Who are you calling a cute little birdie, dude?" XD
You're being anal. They are feathers. I was after the effect of the "feathers" curving towards the halo, like this, but without anything but the outer feathers, because everything else would have been too much compared to the minimalist approach of the other two graphics. No bones anywhere, because the curved hand part isn't visible. If you must know, there is actually a rounded thumb on each "wing" but they're behind the character, because they're not supposed to be attached to it, just like the other character isn't wearing the crown. It looks nicer than the feathers pointing towards the bottom which would look awful and draw the eye outside of the image. And now you're making me bullshitting explanations I didn't even waste thought on while making the damn thing. You're looking for anatomical correctness, where there isn't supposed to be any.
OMG, I love those 3 banners. They are absolutely gorgeous. Especially the one with Treville... really awesome job. ♥ Really enjoying looking at them :D
Thank you! I'm thinking of using at least one of them as an icon, because I still don't really feel inspired to make a whole set of new icons and I currently don't have any Musketeers icons active apart from the Shipping one. Which is not good.

Whatever it is, wing's it ain't.
