kestrellAt least, it is when your guy wears queen size pantyhose. And this is about the Guy Fawkes guy I am making. I'm using pantyhose for the arms and legs, but they just keep stretching and stretching.
I was aiming for a guy reminiscent of RiffRaff but, seriously, this is like the Lovecraftian squid-guy. I decided to hyphenate "squid-guy" because frankly, the sound my screen reader makes for "squidguy" is evocative of...something spongy and wet and menacing, maybe a squeegee after the sorcerer's apprentice turned it to the dark side, transforming it into a multi-armed sinister squeegee (isn't there a synonum for multi-armed that begins with s???).
