They fly by magic, wings are just an outlet for said magic to manifest.

|| Even assuming literally weightless wings, to lift a pony of 100 kilograms (150-200 average, but let’s say hollow bones or whatever) you’d need an area of at very least 4 square meters for a wing loading of 25 kg/sqm (physical max until a bird cannot fly). That’s a wingspan of 8 meters length by 0.25 meters width. A big albatross is 3.4 by 0.16 for reference.
A falcon/hummingbird would need a way lower wing loading to be agile, thus easily getting carpet-sized wings on a dashie.
Either that or a much thicker atmosphere that increases buoyancy by a LOT.
So long big wings and albatross-styled ones would be the most realistic for a pegasus. ||

TL;DR, magic flight! Wings can be what you want!

Eh, long wings for more realism are fine, but I’d like to see them with more depth from front to back. She is the equivalent of a high performance fighter jet (breaking the long-distance record by the guy who framed her not withstanding), not a glider.

Or to put it in bird terms, she is a peregrin falcon plus humming bird (maneuverability), not an albatross.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I do see what you mean with the brush fire thing now that you mention it, what I was going for with the low clouds on the left and right was fog being burned away by the morning sun. Prompting for fog didn’t give me the effect I was wanting so I used clouds which I thought looked close enough. Def should get a second set of eyes on pics before I upload.

Ty for the compliments. I try hard to make my pics different than the usual AI stuff.

It looks good. An amazing pic. Should this be actually painted, it would have blow the minds of many in Derpibooru.

However, the closer clouds, particularly those on the left (maybe the ones you mentioned) look a bit off. They feel more like smoke from a ground fire rather than actual clouds.

But the piece is great, really. I love the feeling of freedom you gave it, and how graceful RD looks.

Just realized I missed a spot of inpainting on the left damn it.
