the poly plane thing I think is essentially how we did the hippogriff here at work (I didn't work on it so I'm not 100% on it) but I know it used a LOT of planes with textures on
But it is looking great! I would definatley say you should pursue the feathers idea because if you're going for closeups you're going to need them
