I’d just like to say I hate gym.

We brought home a new housemate.

At the moment I can’t decide if I want to call him Headless George or ‘Armless.

Just for the record he is so I can build my muscle suit with better ease plus airbrushing will be less difficult...

My lace front wig I purchased from Arda Wigs. Also purchased a long weft and a number of colour samples to shape the front and make the bangs for Cu's hair.

Planning to go for a more realistic view of his hair rather then outright replicating the spikes since they are very not logical. Huff.

Mostly just a reference for myself. Will need this later in the year, and for anyone else thinking of making a muscle suit. I spent about 8 hours in the last two days looking for good ways of making a reasonably realistic looking muscle suit and this is definitely my favourite.
