She&#8217;s obviously stylized because wings that small could in no way bear her aloft. However, I wanted her physicality to be convincing, so I scaled her down to 85% of a default V4 and gave her a lean, musclebound frame. Her face is a relatively flat plane so as to reduce drag, while her large eyes give her keen predatorial vision. Her top knot functions practically as a way to keep her hair from her eyes, and it&#8217;s messy because she doesn&#8217;t worry about style when riding the gale. Her extra large hands help her grab dinner, while her drawn countenance, with bags under her eyes, suggests a hard life on the wing.<\/p>\n<p>Bebe likes dancing!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/miscdaz\/bebe\/bebe01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/miscdaz\/bebe\/bebe02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Credits: Victoria 4 base model with Morphs ++ for the body and Morphs ++ plus Capsces&#8217; Morphia morphs for head.
