Steampunk Costume Test

This is a steampunk costume I created for a music video. www.youtube.com Making of pics here: www.thedarkpower.com www.thedarkpower.com The piece was displayed in The Greatest Steampunk Exhibition in Kew Steam Museum London. The mask includes a skull cap. The idea is that this is either an electro shock skull cap or maybe from an electric chair. The cables dangling down are intended to be from equipment that the skull cap was previously attached to and has since been wrenched free of. Perhaps it’s occupant escaped his treatment or death sentence. The idea is that the character has been disfigured by the electro shock therapy/execution attempt he’s received and that’s why he’s wearing the mask.

    @thedarkpower I”m thinking some kind of latex mold, where you’ve inlaid some wiring vertically from the chest to the head. Of course it would probably be a bit more difficult than what it is in my head.

    But thats not steampunk.
    more like industrial goth

  12. thedarkpower says:

    @novoneiro Please previous comments on the ‘is it steampunk’ debate. It’s more a variation on a theme I’d say.
