Hello friends,

I am in need of a Steampunk character to dress up as for a convention I am going to in the month of June. Seeing as I am new this, I have no idea who to go as. Does anyone have an ideas as to who I shall go as so I can start on making the costume? And any tips for me?

P.S. If this is the wrong forum I am sorry.

well, i think your taking an... interesting approach to this.

there arnt many "Steampunk" character out there to go as, but i dont see why you can't put together an outfit that is steampunk and go as your own persona. it is what most (if not all) the members of this fine guild do when we go out! XD

plus, making your own outfit is easy, creating an outfit which is a good resemblance of an existing character without paying out the nose for it, is hard... especially with such a limited choice of existing "characters" to begin with

Well there aren't any specificly steampunk characters out there. But it's quite common to take a favorite cartoon/comic/literary character and create a depiction of them as they'd look in a steampunk setting.

Can anyone remember which issue of steampunk magazine had all those character ideas in it? That was pretty useful, talking about all the different potential styles.
The adventurer! The inventor! The street tough!

In terms of steamy characters though, there's always Girl Genius? Or Mina Harker perhaps? Or... Lemme get back to you with that.
