Echos Right Arm

Echo‘s Right Arm…

…can‘t have a defined biceps or triceps.

Hyperspecific nerd post under the cut 🤓

I LOVE disability representation and can’t be normal about all the amazing artists that draw Echo‘s nub now and then 🥰 And I will continue to love these pictures whether they show him with or without a pronounced biceps and triceps, that’s for sure, so this is just for the people who love hyperspecific details:

Echo‘s right arm cannot have a pronounced biceps and triceps!

Echo had a transhumeral (i.e. above-elbow) amputation. Biceps and triceps are used to move the forearm - you train them by doing something like biceps curls and triceps dips. Echo, however, has no part of the forearm left and moves the scomp arm with a disc-shaped actuator of his prosthesis. His biceps and triceps are without function and thus cannot be trained anymore.

If you want to give him some definition at his right arm, give him a kicker deltoid! It won’t only look good and be in line with canon (see the picture above) but also makes sense: the body of an amputee doesn’t recognize a prosthesis as a part of itself which aggravates the perception of its weight. An amputee once described it to me as being similar to the difference between gaining weight and carrying the same weight in a backpack.

So wearing the scomp arm all day is like a very long workout. 🦾

I just love to play with this warm hue for autumn!

I like to draw mini backgrounds rather than one background that fills the whole canvas <3

Because why not.
