Steampunk Sea Mage (or something like that)

My sister, Bettcanard Design, made this incredible octopus for her Steampunk Veterinarian and animal trainer outfit. And since I already had an Octppus staff, she inspired me to put together a Steampunk Sea Mage, a little random cosplay. I wanted to match her cosplay, but as I went for more blue and red where as she went all brown and awesome, we didn't really match in the end. But I loved both of our outfits. She even won first place in the Style Competition at Banzaicon.

But back to my costume. As with many of my own designs, I like to reuse cosplay parts I already have laying around. So I had the staff from my Sea Goddess design. 

The corset I made for an ongoing Lady Sif project which I also used for my Qunari cosplay.

The pouf skirt I actually made in 2012 for my very first steampunk outfit, I think it gives me a really cool silhouette. The blue dress I had bought in Denmark for this one time i was going to a Michelin restaurant ;)

The wig is actually my sister's Sally wig, adorned with a pearl necklace I bought on sale ;)

And accessories were just scavenged from my jewelry box.
