Artist's Comments

So, I'm putting together a Steampunk costume for the London October Expo, as part of the crew of the HMS Valkyrie, the tale of which you can read here! [link]

My character is Miss Amelia Evelyn Hawkesworth, an aristocratic lady who works for Her Majesty's Treasury, and is sent about the HMS Valkyrie to ensure that all its goods, cargo, loot and finances are kept in order! Easier said than done when half the crew are pirates!

Anyway, the costume is coming together slowly! It's not looking very Steampunky right now, but that's what the accessories, jewellery and other additions will be for ^_^ But for now here's some pictures of my costume in progress :-)

This photo has been flagging my attention ever since I added you on Facebook the other day and is unquestionably my favourite from the set of your verdant ventures in steampunk garb. I think what distinguishes this one from the others is the concealment of your full attire focuses one's attention on you personally rather than on the detail of the clothing. I like the way the margin of red velvet and your black hair frame and contrast the alabastrine hue of your skin, which in itself further evinces the stately appearance and decorum of the Victorian era the look is derived from. I've never really looked into steampunk myself, being more of a cyberpunk fan, but I can certainly appreciate it on an aesthetic level in lieu of a superbly made costume such as yours. I think I'm going to favourite this actually (this is a rare instance for me, lol).

Certain souls seem hard because they are capable of strong feelings, and they sometimes go to rather extreme lengths; their apparent unconcern and cruelty are but ways, known only to themselves, of feeling more strongly than others

A favourite! ^_^ Thank you so much, I know you don't do it often so I am extremely flattered and appreciative that it deserves such an honour as to join your page :blushes:

I also really enjoy the cyberpunk side of things, I think it's another incredibly interesting and exciting look :-) One I would like to be able to pull off myself, but lack the funds to do so mostly ^_^' Maybe one day though!

But for now I'm really happy that you like this photo so much, thank you :iconnewhugplz:
