I’d rather die; than grow old without the best of you.

Epic the Musical is a very odd little thing, with a very dedicated fanbase. Not quite the Odyssey, more pop than true musical, spanning countries for the cast, it walks a fine line of adaptation and recreation. I listened to it obsessively building Odysseus, and I desperately needed a burn out costume for a chill wind down. Thus, Penelope.

This is one of the simplest things I’ve ever made, and I think that is part of the success. She’s comfortable, easy, and the richness of the fabric goes a long way towards selling it. I want to make some upgrades, but she was exactly what I needed.
