Winged Scrab

I'm not sure where to put this thread, I wasn't sure between this section or the general oddworld discussion section. So I put it here to be on the safe side.

While reading Flying Scrab's signature description in his signature thread, I saw that he wanted a scrab with wings. Well, I thought this was impossible to do. Until I actually tried it myself and the outcome was pretty cool. It's pretty simple but cool all the same. Just think what kind of damage a scrab could do if it looked like this.

It's nice, but anatomically it wouldn't work. The wings aren't angled well to allow it to fly or even lift it off the ground, and the Scrab alone isn't an aerodynamic animal, and it would probably weigh too much to sustain flight.

My suggestions:
-Bigger wings (like, way bigger. Like, each wing is twice as big as the scrab itself)
-Put them right-side-up, or put the wings parallel to the ground.
- Give the wings a bone structure. Wing skin needs a frame to support it, even with insectoid wings.
-Maybe tweak the Scrab's anatomy a bit, since the species your using isn't aerodynamic at all.

I do like this idea, though. It's very interesting. If you'd like, I could draw what I mean in my points if you would like.

I hadn't actually thought about carrying this on. But I now that you've said that dipstikk, I will. If it's not too much trouble could you draw what you mean? I understand it but I might need something to go by as a starting point. Thanks.
