Step 6: To Add Arms or Not Add Arms

Now you must understand, at this point I hadn't fully decided what I wanted to do with this creature. Would he be covered in clothes? Will he break out of the ground? Will he eventually have a full body? I didn't know. These are all important details because it dictates if I need to make arms, hands, and detail his chest.

To be on the safe side, I decided to give him some basic arm structure that I could build on. All I used was cardboard rolled up and taped closed to create a rounder shape. I then covered them with plastic bags, taped them to the body, and covered them with tinfoil before starting the paper mache process.
