Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising.  SO EXCITED.  I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them.This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal bits), but I was just trying to bring in a few western/Victorian elements to traditional Indian clothing- legomuttoned sleeves, the double breasted, collared choli, and adapting the churidar into buttoned spats.…Also a sweet hat.-C

Did I mention I love this artist?

This is so incredibly sexy and elegant! <3

Steampunk meets Good Omens.  Because I love both.

The real challenge will be to do the Them in this style.

I lack words to describe how amazing this is, so I’ll just keep staring at both of them for the rest of the day.
