Unfinished steampunk (again)



I am following the directions of spirithime with posting this in other communities, but if it shows up on your page more than once, i'm terribly sorry. just scroll over it :D
These are really dark, but I don't have the photoshop skillz or the patience to do anything about it. :/



These were taken at Anime Central (yes a convention)... and before we had even gotten there, I had already broken down in frustration


I even called up Josh(right) and told him I wasn't bringing the costumes because they were unfinished.


But good old Dad convinced me to bring them. (lol at crooked goggles)


So bleh. I think my next upgrade will be a little more "mechanical" and polished looking. I had a lot of cogs and gears to work with, but just didn't have the damn time to finish my ideas.


I was disappointed that I left myself 1-2 hours to put the hair together. But now with highschool completely over, I won't have so much time constraint in college... i think. But about the "hair," if you're thinking "anachronaut" you're correct. the only thing is, that he never replied to my e-mails *because he has a life and is crazy busy like the rest of us*, so i just went ahead and made my own out of window insulation and ripped up cords. (old wires from my job at the shooting range) they're 'ehh'

Josh wasn't just wearing slacks btw. I wish we had a full length photo :/ I will also have to say that my shoe selection sucked, but whatever. I was just happy that I had gotten through AP Finals AND got a chance to go to ACen XD

These photos are curteousy of Amy and her new camera :D

by the way, dirt and ashes are intentional all over our faces and clothing.hah.

x-posted? to egl & anachrotech...

Bravo! Very very very nice "steam" dreads. What was the corset made of?

denim, synthetic boning, and pinstripe patterned synthetic material of some sort. i hope that may have answered your query? :D

The entire look is gorgeous. Did you sew the hair to a foundation that covered all of your head? Started staring at my pile of bungee cords that have cool patterns.

Wow! This outfit is amazing!!! I love the idea that it's all made from other bits of clothing and is that a bit of hoop skirt I see?

haha! thank you :D this is what it has become so far. and yeah, that is a bit of a cage skirt. which was a pain to make, but turned out nicely. the photos don't do much justice sadly :/

I like a lot! Why can't people around here dress like this!
Oh, and by the way...college, unless you're taking easy classes, might be just a little bit more hectic than high school...at least it was for me.

Sure, it is from a Japanese anime OVA movie called Dead Leaves. It is really great stuff! The character's name is Pandy.

Your awesomely trashy I wish I had them costumes.

Eh, that community isn't that great. But I'm sure if you start posting pictures, at least people will have something to look forward to besides sales
