If my costume gets in by then, I'll be a ranger for Final Fantasy XI. Dunno if working at Pro-Reg will interfere with the gathering time though. :x

I sure hope you can make the FF ALL gathering @ 1:30 on Saturday. XI, Crystal Chronicles, and Tactics are the only FF not represented at this point.

Updating the list!

Steam punk huh?

I wonder if I can do a Russell Cosplay Variant in steam Punk.

I get to wear goggles! :D

[BrightHeart76]

hmm...I don't have anything that's actually Steam Punk.  However, If you think about it Howl's Moving Castle is fairly Victorian in style and the castle itself really lends itself that way.  Maybe I'll explore some alterations on my Sophie cosplay to include the Steam Punk theme.  Details to follow as I complete my thoughts.  lol.

OMG Jerry that would be awesome! 

Hmm, I seem to recall someone referring to Samurai 7 as steampunkish, so I think my Heihachi Hayashida cosplay might fit in.

[Kiara]

Hm.... you know what I'm wondering? Cid from Final Fantasy 7, would he count? The goggles and colors kind of make me think so... but I'm not exactly sure. Any opinions?

Most any character can be "steam punked" however I don't think a standard Cid Highwind from FFVII would be considered "steam punk" in style. The male characters in FFXII are closer to that. What you are looking for is more Victorian Era based clothing and as for props and accessories they to will be Victorian based. For instance take a modern guitar and imagine making it back in 1887 out of the materials available. You don't have to create the guitar, but you need to make it "Look" like it was.

Hope that helps. I did post a link on the 1st post with some great 411 on Steam Punk & photos of cosplay done steam punk style.

Would a wind up doll type cosplay work. It doesn't have to be super hardcore Victorian. From the article I read (thanks B!) I am understanding that your steampunk cosplay will work if you keep the Victorian technology, imagination, and general mind set. For example, my understanding as I just pust it, Dorothy of "Big O" would be steampunk because she is essentially a clockwork android.
So, do y'all think a wind up doll cosplay would fall under the category of steampunk?
