#lodgetembermodern

okay, starting off with location. the background is a screenshot off google maps of the street across from the hunterian museum, which I think is a massive visual reference for the society!

the prosthetic is modelled off the idea of hero arms which I came across at the young v&a a couple weeks back. the idea is of an interchangeable casing on the prosthetic, as well as a feature to lock the hand in position. It's also a perfect way for me to keep the steampunk feel of the original prosthetic while also using modern technology

the lanyard also has some easter eggs!!! not only is the picture on it from the comic, the barcode is almost exactly copied from the back of tgs volume one!

the clothes he's wearing are very much in the fashion of my own style, especially the shirt and jacket. the shirt is kind of in the style of run & fly, who I own many shirts by, and the jacket is also reminiscent of my own, though has less badges and patches.
