+ Information

+This is the place to go for official constructive criticism and ruling over 'steampunk' or 'species guidelines' of your punk.

+If you have doubts as to if your punk is within the genre or guidelines, but don't really care for C&C, thats fine too, just pick the form below to suit your needs.

+If the thread is busy or has a lot of CC to be given, please do not submit the same punk more then twice. This should be enough to get the guidelines and rules down, and the main thread is still a good place for CC!

+If you are asking for help with a cosplay please tell us who it is along with the fandom it is from! That will make it easier for us to help in character-to-steampunk translation.

+Only Staff may assist here, that way no one gets accidentally misled. wink

If you added more 'seams' in the clothing, I think that would help add to the 'rugged' look. Also cords int he corset might do her nicely :3 But if you're working on a cosplay for someone it might help if you asked them for more reference images if you don't know much about the character? As she is I think she'd be accepted providing the colors are rather reserved.

Kamileunaire - Very true, the black sclera, as outlined by our front page is allowed only on the Balyk to whom it is natural.
Since he's Koshka, he'll need white sclera. But he's looking very good <3 and will look very handsome with that small correction. (err...post deleted while I was typing <3)

Saint Sergio - A simple steampunk tribute would be a pocket watch, he's looking very good as a WIP in my opinion :3 You might cap his boots with brass or bronze as well just to give him a little extra protection as that is a very popular theme in steam punk.
(As a general rule its as much if not more, the victorian theme clothes as the brass, gears and pocket watches.)

Also if you don't want brass toed boots, adding stitches around the seems would give them a very nice home cobbled feel when you color.

What I would like help with is:
Is this WIP punk enough? I tried to take some inspiration from Victorian military jackets. razz Any suggestions on how to improve the pic would be very appreciated!

Anything else?:
This is a cosplay of Raiden from MGS4. The reason for all the metal is that I'm trying to translate "cyborg ninja" to "steampunk", which has had... er, mixed results. XD;

To Be Shaded - That's Not The Question
Anything else?:
Okay, so she's an oculocutaneous albino, which means that her albinism effects her vision less than in a 'complete' albino. Since she's a white tiger, that fits--the regressive genes that produce that sort of albinism in humans are possibly the same sort that create 'white' (not true albino--still having markings) tigers. She's an OC of mine, and I did a lot of research to make sure I was clear on the origins of white tigers (since they are rare, and usually have to be specifically bred for, though there have been cases of isolated groups in the wild), to make sure her human (or in this case, Mensh-like) characteristics fit.

OKAY, SO HERE'S THE QUESTION. 8D

Is this alright? I plan on roleplaying her, so her albinism will be noted in her journal, and the fact that she dyes her hair (obviously XD). I just wasn't sure if it'd be okay, since there are a decent amount of people who think white tigers are 'unnatural'--even though there have been a couple cases in the wild, as I mentioned--and I didn't want to have that sort of thing come up later on, without being perfectly clear on getting the go ahead from you guys. <3

THANKS, AND SORRY FOR EATING SO MUCH TIME. XD

What I would like help with is:
My biggest worry is the gun, which is loosely based off of a colt, but is clearly not steam powered. Without coloring you can't tell, but I was thinking of using one of the Baylk power stones instead of a flint for it - hence the 'tube line' running through it. Would that work as a power source at all, or would it be better to just be a simple, standard gun design?

Also wondering what sort of larger weapon would be best for his back? I was looking at something like this, which would be cumbersome to lug around but gets the point across. I just wanted to make sure that it's 'punk enough.
Anything else?:
Any other suggestions - especially for the shoes - would be greatly appreciated. And thank you so much for the help ahead of time!
