Please note: This guide focuses exclusively on the muscle suit creation process and does not cover techniques for mask-making or other elements featured in my cosplays.

Legacy Edition: This guide captures some of my early days in costume creation, including steps from my "Bolvar Fordragon" project, with photos taken during an earlier phase of my career. While a small proportion of the images may be of lower quality, they still perfectly illustrate the techniques and steps needed to craft your own muscle suit.
