I found a site somewhere with free art-based anatomy images so I finally used a reference (I rarely do and it shows).

I got a bit carried away with this but I like it. The model was very well built but had stretch marks and some extra tummy skin which makes me think he wasn't always well built. Needless to say I choose him because he seemed the most "real". That and I have a fascination with various physical imperfections.
