Hippogryph Thoughts
14 years ago
Been browsing around and recently started thinking about hippogryphs. They're usually drawn or depicted with horse-like tails though I have seen a few with more avian like tails. I've always thought that the avian style of tail would make more sense and give more control in flight than a regular horse's tail would. While I've seen examples of both that I"ve really liked, I just wondered what other people thought about the concept. Course, that brings up other aspects of species design, like would the head be avian with some equine aspects, like ears or Equine with avian aspects like a beak? Just a random thought I had and was curious if anyone else thought much about stuff like this.
As for the tail both look good. It depends a lot on how much further you want to make it look like it could really fly. If you're already ok with standard pegasi then a hippogryph isn't that much different.
