So I got my designs for Teslacon sketched up and scanned, which means of course I'm looking at them going 'AUGH ALL AWFUL' but I will post them anyway for outsider perspective because I know I can be hypercritical of my own work (and, well, these are sketches, and I am nooooot a 2D artist at all)

First off, door design. Cloth backing, brass furniture studs for rivets (I have a pile left from my armchair), clock frame for the porthole, ship name in weathered gilding. The airlock handle and the bit of piping to cover the actual door handle will take some engineering with PVC pipe but I think I can do it.

Day-wear for the naturalist adventurer. I'm waffling on patchwork for the vest or solid - if it was patchwork, it'd be different textures, too. I'll have a Welsh dragon on the back in red. Pants - grey tartan with cargo pockets, because POCKETS. Boots - insert cool knee-high brown boots here, I half-assed those in the sketch because I'm not quite sure what I want. Hat is my gray newsboy hat I own already, gloves will be half-fingered, heathered brown, with cabling.

Evening wear. Waistcoat is a royal blue brocade with silver swirls, black velvet shawl collar and pocket facings, skirt will either be periwinkle blue (sorta drawn there) or a darker navy, haven't decided. I like the idea of a nice full skirt but man hoopskirts :| So alternate skirt ideas welcome.

Two different ideas for the jacket - both in grey wool, but one is cropped close in front on the skirt, and the other has the curved front and tails of a morning jacket.

You can also tell from these sketches that I SUCK AT ACCESORIZING, which is a problem as like half of steampunk is accesorizing, so yes. Input there is welcome too.
