Shhhh don't sell yourself short! I think even the 'easy' way you ended up doing it is still super creative and unique!

Virtually none. I basically cheated. :P I started out trying to control every individual feather so they could fold up properly, but I couldn't get the hang of the rigging. So instead their shape is controlled by a bigger object that sort of envelops the wings and I move that around instead- this method is much much easier to control, but less flexible; I can't really move an individual feather for example, I can only move big portions of the wing at once, and they also don't "fold" shut so much as... "squish"? You can definitely see it when they're in motion if you're looking for it and the effect isn't quite as nice as I'd like, but it's not so noticeable as to be distracting I think, and that will have to do for now until I get better at rigging.

Oh my gosh the wings fold, the wings fold! I can't even fathom how much intricacy went into making them behave correctly!

that subtle iridescence is so appealing, also such a tease ahaha

I don't think it's a weird thing to say, the whole reason I'm here is to make things you guys want to see! :P
