Steampunk Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Penguin Walk Into a Bar [Cosplay]

by on June 3, 2013

What happens when three of Gotham’s villains hang out? They plot and plan devious acts, of course. This trio of steampunked Penguin, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn is striking – they’re lovely and scary all at the same time. The details are all there, and they’ve even managed to make the tiny hats look awesome (that doesn’t always happen in steampunk costumes).

Cosplayed by Sweets4aSweet (Penguin), Pretty Lush Cosplay (Poison Ivy), and Courtney Hanson (Harley Quinn). Photographed by Amanda “Elemental” Irwin.

Check out some pictures of the individual costumes after the break.

Figuring out the overall theme of your wedding has to be one of the most tricky parts of planning. You have to try to incorporate things both you and your partner like. Faith and Aaron managed to narrow their common interests down to steampunk and Muppets. Like you do.

The groomsmen dressed in a Western sci-fi theme, the bride’s bouquet was decorated with a clock and Muppets, there were goggles, flame powered centerpieces for the reception tables, fabulous steampunked heels, and a wicked bleeder pen. The also mixed in a little bit of Stephen Colbert. Inspired by “The Wørd,” the couple had the bridal party hold up cue cards while they exchanged vows privately. It looks like a fun and memorable time.

Wonderful Steampunk Lady Iron Man Costume

by on May 3, 2013

steampunk iron man 1

One of the most fun parts of going to conventions is suiting up, and Michelle of The Suitcase Studio really went the extra mile. She donned a fabulous and pretty much perfect steampunk Iron Man costume. It was designed by her husband and put together by her mother-in-law (too much talent in one family if you ask me), and this striking outfit is the result. I especially love the little things like the clasps on the jacket, the spats, and the pleating on the corset that looks like Tony Stark’s armor.

Take Legend of Zelda’s Link, add steampunk flair, and tada! You get this lovely costume. Agatha constructed the accessories and the goggles. She even included the nice touch of putting the Triforce symbol on the goggle covers. It’s the little things.

This is a one-of-a kind piece that is perfect for steampunk cosplayers. It was inspired by BioShock and has two interchangeable blades that swivel down so they can be tucked away. There’s also a spinning LED light that runs on a 9V battery with an adjustable speed dial and an on/off switch. The blades are made from aircraft grade aluminum and the leather is hand-dyed with eco-flo dyes and finishers and it looks fantastic!

Portlandia Visits a Steampunk Convention [Video]

by on February 20, 2013

In a hotel in anywhere USA – or in Portland – a group of steampunk enthusiasts gather to dress up, play with rayguns, and go on a mission to rescue one of their own. Yes, in the following clip, the cast of Portlandia goes to a steampunk convention and goes LARP’ing. It pokes fun at the genre but also hits some true and hilarious notes.

I especially love the guy who won’t stop firing his blaster and making noise. We all know a couple of those.

Check out the amusing skit after the break.

Seven Steampunk’d Superheroes [Featured]

by on February 13, 2013

Transforming everyday superhero costumes into steampunk designs is becoming more and more common. It’s not as simple as adding goggles and spats. It’s more about the aesthetic though, and some cosplayers do it really well. These are some of my favorites.
