Tag Proposal: Large Wings

So, for a rough ballpark of size needed for the tag, how about "more than twice the length of the arms"?

Meaning that if the character spread their arms to the sides, the wings would be able to match that?

The only problem with that definition is that it may not work well with non-humanoids or in cases where there are wings in place of arms.

On humanoid characters, yeah. Typically, artists will proportion the wings so that, when the wings are fully extended, the distance from the shoulder to the elbow of the wing is about the same as that on the arm, and the rest of the wing is roughly the same length (not counting the feathers).
More than that would be fairly big.

reese has a point about non-humanoid characters, though. Your point about the large surface area measurement is a good one as well.
