Wings are based on height and weight from what I've seen, so my 6'0", 240lbs person would need a wingspan of 24 feet to be able to support him. According to the response I got, the general rule of thumb is:

1 Wing = Character's Height x 2

Ooh I just saw this on what, the seventh page on the unread tab? anyways i'm just bored so i thought i'd pop in and ask you to tell me more about these things! that really fascinates me, one question i have is if a human were to have wings, and the bone structure aside, how big would those wings have to be for them to support the weight of a human?

That is correct, @Yamatsu ! Thank-you ^^ That wingspan formula is the one I personally use, and I'm very satisfied with the results it gives me. Since we're here, I will add that it's certainly not a perfect solution, and I encourage y'all to play around with it and see what seems most logical to you.
@izzyandviolins , if you have any more questions, just let me know! I'm always happy to help XD
