Hey I know you've done a penguin pegasi before, as well several water fowl and sea birds. My question is are the ones based off of aquatic birds able to dive and swim like birds or horses? Or alternatively do they swim similarly to a moose would, just with added wings? This is just a fun brain teaser question, I love your art and can't wait to see more. <3
Hello!
Yeah so longwing pegasi do dive for fish and seaweed :) I picture them more like gannets jetting into the water, then they sort of "fly" through the water + paddle with their legs around under the surface. Granted, I haven't built in an under-water features into longwings like closing nostrils or transparent eyelids...so diving into the water can be risky for longwings. Longwing dives tend to be slower than gannet dives for that reason.
Thank you :) My new job has thrown my schedule for a loop but I hope to get back to posting regularly again soon!
