As of right now I’m making a 6 barrel revolver using copper, steel, wood, deer antler, and leather. My jeans have a tan cloth on the side. I’m going to make gators out of leather. Plague doctor mask will help as well.
This is really helpful and encouraging, thank you! Another easy way to accessorize is adding a leather-look belt or two. You can hang pouches or straps for other accessory pieces off it, or just add some shiny extra buckles or rings to it for flair. And if you want to be a bit more historical with your necktie, you can try a gauzy scarf or neckerchief.
I'm going for "Evie" the librarian from "The Mummy" I've got the Edwardian era clothing, (from thrift stores) down. To make it more steampunk, I add accessories like a belt buckle with an octopus, some vintage looking "adventure" gear, (like a fake antique pocketwatch, a compass, etc)
If you are already steampunk-ifying it, Much of Vampire fashion, especially in Victorian and Goth vampire fashion, will work for steampunk. If you are leaning more Steampunk and want a "Vampire" flare, I would suggest a cloak or cape, perhaps a hat older than industrial age, leaning on more of a sugarloaf or tricorn (IMO). And, of course, color tinted sunglasses. Gary Oldman's Dracula in London fits the stereotype in a real good way. Mainly you are leaning on the tropes of being well dressed, slightly fashionably out of date, and perhaps goth. Hope that helps, I know it is a late response.
I am a new person interested in steampunk idea costumes here should I have So far What do y’all think? Forgot can’t put pictures on here but what do you think of double goggles?
Sorry for the super late response. I usually don't give a lot of thought to footwere in my own steampunk stuff, but many people do. Usually, the go to would be "dress shoes" and avoid "sneakers". Many Steampunks I've known default to boots of various types. If you have the feet for them, many thrifted or historical options are a great choice. If you got the money to burn, you can find so many examples of "Steampunk boots" for both sexes. would be careful, though. Many of the famous "Steampunk Boots" with the buckles up the side are incredibly expensive. Many of those on offer around and under $115 (USD) are of a very poor quality and are known to fall apart and require repairs. The solid steampunk boots that both look great and last are rarely sold online, and I've seen vendors at event sell for $500 +. If you are going super high-end, many steampunk cosplayers end up making their own. However, most plain dress shoes or boots will do. Unless you are in a costume contest or getting action shots taken of your build... most people won't care what is on your feet. Especially if you are at a festival or outdoor event with lots of walking or standing around. Be comfortable, get some nice insoles. I wear bland, "traditional" looking work boots typically.
Absolutely. Especially if your costume utilizes a lot of color. Just keep in mind that swim goggles are shaped very differently and will look different. However, there isn't really a bad reason to use them.
ADD GEARS TO EVERYTHING, YOUR HAT, YOUR VEST. YOUR UNDERWEAR... EVERYTHING
Seems legit
A very accessible and uplifting video! Well done!
Great video!! Thanks for the tips.

Steampunk is the Victorian era.
@@annwilliams6575 only one year separates "Victorian" from "Edwardian"
so it's ok
Hello, I’m a newbie and I am trying to build a steam punk high class vampire. Does anyone have any tips?

For goggles - how about swim goggles fancied up.

Awesome, yeah that isn't a number to scoff at. But I bet it will look amazing at a con, meetup, or just for a Halloween event!
