Elegant Wing
🕑 Added 2016-03-13 17:07:21 +0000 UTC Redesigned the wings of the nearest creature, as well as a new color scheme, which I shall now apply to the main birdlien. Getting close now!

In this case the wings are equivalent to the wing-like flaps the birrin have on the upper surface of their bodies, evidence of their quadrilaterian ancestry
I think giving them little butterfly scales was a really nice touch. One thing I would find interesting is to know what limbs of the birrin the wings of the colibris correspond to. I'm a sucker for comparative anatomy :)

It seems that it might be for this niche, since hummingbirds and hummingbird hawk moths are almost identical!

Thank you! I hope to bump up the attractiveness over the next few days.

It's a real talent, to make something alien look so plausible and so attractive.
Very professional illustration. Makes me wonder if ET life will be alien, but strikingly familiar in morphology and the filling of environmental niches. Good job!
