Please change the design on the Dragons, who have already seen in the screenshots that run on the network make me think badly.
They do not seem wyverns dragons but have heavy limbs and stocky and short, stubby wings, and if your intention is to create breathtaking creatures, you should make with enormous wings (because more realistic) the beauty and majesty of a dragon not be judged by the size of fat body and muscular, but his wingspan is not wide-eyed leaving his quadricipidi.
Please Carofano Matthew least change the design of the wings, Akatosh in Oblivion looked like a cocatrix or a big rooster(in every sense :whistling:) you and your staff have an incredible creativity and a way of drawing lofty but please as skyrim is focusing on the dragons do not fulfill them as I see here

And I will stop here
I chose not to be those in the photos because the design seems more consistent with the TES logo
If you believe that I am raving do a survey and maybe you feel like-minded others

PS.
The staff of Skyrim Board to review the film Dragonslayer (1981) could be an inspiration.
Always consider the anatomy of the existing creture and return it to the screen, is a formula that always wins;)
Matthew I believe in you.
Sorry for my english.

Read what I said. Realism, is not the goal in design, it is a tool. Realism is competing with many other aspects that they have to keep in mind.

I'm sorry but tell me where the lore is realized that the dragons must have stubby wings?

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:King_Edward

Its close to the bottom of the page.

"Moraelyn asked with a smile, "All right then, I've always wanted to know this - considering the shape of your mouth and teeth,
how do dragons manage to speak the humanoid languages so clearly?"

Akatosh paused, and then carefully responded, "Why, in much the same way that we can fly, even though our wings are not
naturally strong enough to support such heavy torsos."

That doesn't say a thing about stubby wings. It says their wings aren't strong enough to support their huge torsos. It's like if birds didn't have pockets in their bones. They would weigh too much.

You are making the assumption that they must be totally natural, whereas the book made it pretty clear that they magic plays a big part with dragons. The question "How can you speak humanoid languages so clearly", despite shape of their mouth and teeth, and then the answer "the same way we fly", clearly implies magic, because the second answer corresponds to the first question. They must speak using magic (how else would they speak?), so they must also FLY with magic (at least partially).

Dragons ARE magical creatures. It could easily be a combination of magic and nature, considering their magical nature!

That is exactly the point I am trying to make. The design of THESE dragons, is NOT meant to be "sumptuous and elegant." I dare say, nothing in Skyrim is "elegant." Its nitty-gritty, everything is rough and uncivilized. Its raw nature in Skryim.

That is the design they are going for. The Art Direction(design) is paramount, and it can and should overrule realism when realism compromises the design. In a different game or movie, your "elegant" dragons may fit in perfectly, but that doesn't mean they should everywhere just because that is MOST realistic.

Now read what I'm saying: Bethesda has their dragons designed. See those screenshots you're complaining about? That's what you're going to be fighting in Skyrim. They're not going to push the game's release date back to design all new dragons because you don't like what they've already spent a a year and then some on. Enjoy

Obviously the lore didn't use the word stubby. That was the OP's own input.

But it does suggest that their wings are smaller than would logically allow them to fly. So, as you said, they would require magic.

Alduin must be twice as big as Deathwing.
'nuff said

Get over yourself, their not changing, its to far into developement.

The dragons look fine, and many people are satisfied.

It can just as easily suggest, exactly as Akatosh said, that their torsos are too large. Just because an automobile goes slowly doesn't mean its wheels are too small; its frame might be too heavy. It isn't that the dragon's wings are too small, its that their bodies are too heavy (no hollow bones, no hollow sacs full of light gases, and other such scientific explanations for such large creatures to be able to fly).
