Quote - His wrists looks a bit puny for such a well muscled guy, and there is something odd about the contour of his arm (upper arm) along the lateral border.  But on the whole he looks awesome and if he were foresale I am sure I would buy him when finished.

Love esther

Thank you Esther. I appreciate your continued interest :)

Do his wrists still look puny in default pose? 

Generally they are usually rather thin unless a guy is extremely muscled, body builders even tend to have thinner wrists since the muscles and tendons in that area all taper down into the hands. 

I think part of the percieved puniness might be due to the previous pose and how the wrist is currently bending in the rig, and I'm still working on the rig. There are no JCMs or capsule zones or anything at this point cause the goal is to get the base rig tuned as much as possible before adding on the rest. And, because the mesh is still a WIP, I'd have to keep redoing JCMs every time I change anything in the geometry. 

A base rig should bend fairly well without add-ons if the mesh is designed properly, so that's why I haven't done the JCMs or weights yet. 

Scaling morphs will also allow for thicker and thinner wrists, as its my intention to do full body scaling morphs for every body part, beyond the basic x-y-z scale dials.
