[QUOTE="jaer, post: 3998606, member: 57861"] Awesome pics! Again I must say I am much more impressed with your sketches then the original piece (which might be better fleshed out in a MM, I'm still holding out hope). I also see the hunched-foward body as being both a way of lowering itself to reduce wind resistance and lower the center of gravity. And to me, being naturally forward-bent makes them look like the need to be running, not just that they happen to be gifted with great running speed. Their bodies seem like they are leaning into a perpetual wind. That was the impression I got when I saw the sketch - that they are meant to always have this rush of air coming at them. Which is another reason I dislike the original art...there is no sense of movement in the creature...it just looks uncomfortable and unnatural to be standing there. Pics and minis featuring the quickling should look more like Tray's first sketches above - they display the creatures speed. Well done! [/QUOTE]
