[QUOTE="Sidhanei, post: 8897051, member: 6840374"] I lean slightly more ‘realistic’ with mine—realistic not in terms of lore/mythology but muscle and bone structure. My first encounter with them was THE LAST MYTHAL trilogy, so they tend to be half-elves (fey’ri and deamonfey in FR), and that shaped it alot. Wings are important, lol…even if mechanically they aren’t usable or even there. Horns tend to vary. My favorite are 4 horns for the aesthetic mixing nice with pointed ears. Don’t do many with hooves, but they’re harder to be expressive visually with and I draw my characters alot. When I started working on my own fantasy comic, I developed a fiendish/angellic trimorphic subspecies of Fae/elves. This encouraged me to take a deeper look and how such creatures would work, and now informs how I represent tieflings since the legwork is done. Some things are small, like the pinky being more of a qausi-second thumb for extra grip/item stability in flight and somantic-magical control. But the wings and tail are the big ones. The body is more hourglass shape because of the extra muscles needed, such as around the hip for the tail. A second set of shoulder blades rests near the bottom of the rib cage on the back—so just above the center of the back. I’ve also developed a liking for a more subtle keel structure, namely a pair of floating bones that rest on front of the ribcage. Kinda / \ shaped, with an extra layer of muscles forming around the torso to connect them with the extra shoulder blades on the back. The setup also makes it easy for a tiefling to fold up their wings like a sleeveless cloak and operate more like general humanoids in activities like rising a horse or disguising themselves. [/QUOTE]
