My challenge is for you incredibly talented people to make it look REAL Wel, erm, uhm, there's this little problem called the square-cube ratio... unless it'sa teensy faerie it can't look real without unaesthetically large wings. Additionally, those unaesthetically large wings would require a second, upper set of absurdly large pectoral muscles, which would, of course, place Vicki's boobs somewhere under her arms or between them and the wing bases. Then you have the wing attachment problem. The typical angel or bat wings added onto a humanoid (or goddess forbit a Pegasus or Alicorn) are attached at a ridiculously small point and do not connect to the sides of the body (to make better room for the arms, if nothing else). Actually making a figure with this would be virtually impossible as you have the poser non-parent weeld problem. Totally unfeasible using Poser, actually. So it would take me at least a week. Without it welded there's too big of a gap between the body and wing undersurface to maintain lift -- all that high-pressure air leaks right out where the wing doesn't attach to the humanoid 'fuselage'. (Yes, I know many bugs are built sort of this way, but bugs are little and beat their wings really fast and the combination allows a bubble of air surface tension right there from what I understand.)
