Since I pretty much tore the headcrab zombie mask down to just the base yesterday, I'm trying to figure out the best angle & pose for the new rigid forelimbs. I want them to look like they're jabbing into the host's chest while at rest and in an aggressive threat display when raised. I think I finally got it looking about how I want it, at least from the side profile-

#🎃 Cryptid Sighting #🎃 Photographic Evidence #Max Headcrab #Cosplay #Cosplay wip #The arms raise thanks to a simple lever mechanism that gets toggled when I open my jaw #The final mechanism will be hands-free. Just holding the interior jaw piece in place here to test out positioning #These have been the first couple days off in a while that I've mostly stayed home- it's been nice!#I’ve been going through my notes on this cosplay since it’s been so long since I started it. Lots I’d forgotten!#There's definitely a benefit to the hindsight you gain after detaching yourself from a project for this long #It's easier to pick & choose through all the ideas that had once ALL been beholden to me- & toss the mid ones #I'm still not confident that this will turn out as well as I had hoped #but I'll feel better to say I did the damn thing than if I forever waffle over the exact perfect way to do it #Gotta remind myself that I'm still a cosplay novice and that I've never made something like this. It's not going to be perfect & that's ok #*sounds of agony trying to beat the perfectionism down with a crowbar- but that bitch fights back*
