This was fun to do, although I wasn't planning to make both! The original project was to just Ed's leg, but I finished it months ahead of time. I mean really, how much of a glutton for punishment was I?...

....

... yeah, don't answer that. Fortunately, the amazing Amethyst Angel had the perfect tutorial. I really owe her a lot for making such a daunting project into something manageable! *doffs cap*
