Collectibles And Steampunk Fashions
First, I finally got around to making a new video showing off some of my toys: Here Be Dragons - And BusterMates You guys have probably already seen all of this through my pictures, but if you want to hear my prattlings, you're welcome to them. Also it's a chance to hear what my Tap & Roar Dragons sound like.
In other news, I've spent a little time over at the
steamfashion community today, and I've been thinking about Secundus again, and what the characters will be wearing. As I don't have much else to report on (besides starting another playthrough of American McGee's Alice), I'll babble on a bit about what the characters will be wearing here.
-->Doc's going to appear at least once in the suit he wore at the end of BTTF III. For more casual wear, I'm thinking maybe a variation of the suit he wears to the dance in III, and variations on his blacksmith clothes for the shop.
-->Marty's cowboy stuff will have to wait for the potential sequel. I'm probably going to do like I did in "Boy Genius" and Victorianize his 80s clothes. Dark blue suit, red vest, you know how it goes. Might look at some of his 50s stuff too (and if I can get away with it, his 2015 stuff.)
-->Victor I've pretty much got figured out. He starts off the story in the suit we all remember from the movie, then moves on to a "hero" outfit: Black goggles, black suit, white shirt, yellow vest, green tie, black tattered overcoat, black fingerless gloves. (Not a lot of color, I know, but I'm thinking black/dark grey/navy blue with pops of color probably looks best with that ultra-pale complexion of his.) Everything else he wears is a variation on the "hero" outfit.
-->Alice is a little more complex. She's got her iconic blue dress and apron, of course, but I want to put her in a purple dress at some point. She's also going to have a variety of belts and bandoleers for holding stuff. The simplest has a sheath for her knife and not much else; the most complicated holds all the weapons she owns. (Current count: Vorpal Blade, Razor Cards, Croquet Mallet, Jackbomb, Ice Wand. She may or may not get the Blunderbuss over the course of the story, and I'm figuring out the other weapons.)
-->The secondary characters appear in pretty much familiar outfits, Victorianized when necessary. For example -- Victoria Everglot will be in her red striped dress, while Flint Lockwood will have a Victorian suit covered by his favorite lab coat.
So yeah, I apparently care about clothing. But only when it's Victorian in nature. I'd say I was born into the wrong century fashion-wise, except I still prefer bras to corsets. (TMI?)

Considering one runs the risk of suffocating in one of those things (I'm thinking Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Carribean here), I'm with you. :p
