hey guys/gals!

i know its been a while, but with a VERY busy life atm (doing two years of college in one year + Uni applications and projects + personal projects + my job) ive had little time for gaia.

However, i felt i should tell you lot about a project i started a while back and am now working on again. I want to stand out among Steampunks, and ive designed and created part of my steampunk outfit now. its a customised waistcoat, which i have cut in half, and attached a pair of belts to (this is however just a mockup i made a few months back) to make it. i am debating whether to dub it the Half-Waistcoat or the Semivest...

The final version will be made with a higher quality waistcoat (not a cheapo one that i got two years back like this one haha) and will have the straps and buckles rivetted in, as well as being stitched up at the back where i cut it to make it, and will also feature an extra pocket/pouch and a leather and elastic strap for keeping phials and potions in, on the breast, and will hopefully look something like this (a design for a character im working on for a Games Design side project im working on at the moment in my rare moments of free time) i also plan to make the shirt too! ^_^

also, while wandering round the Banbury Market earlier today, i found this; a DieCast Capgun Revolver, for a fiver, which is made of good quality metal and feels good and solid biggrin

the same stall had a high-quality leather belt and holster which im going to buy next week to modify like this belt by Marcus Stratus on DeviantART.

so what do you fine ladies and mentlegen think? any comments/criticisms are appreciated smile

MUST. HAVE. THAT. BELT!!!

-scrabbles at computer screen-

And a gun would be nice. I wish stuff like that would just fall out of the sky for me, too. I could use an AK-47 for my Hellsing cosplay...

-looks up expectantly-

And I like your idea. Should look cool with rivets and such. Never too many rivets. If I had a motto, that probably wouldn't be it, but it would be something I say a lot.

-uses too many dashed actions-

Master Ulthar
words (and a lot of dashed actions)

on my concept ive only put 1 rivet on each belt (plus another on each at the back) but i think ill probs use two, each above or alongside eachother.

ill probs only use LOTS of rivets on the belt, but like Marcus Stratus's belt ill probably place them carefully so it looks busy without looking cluttered
