Doodle 179 - Interactive Friday Costumes (Part 1)

I missed playing along with you guys, so much fun!

OK first, I doodled something on my own, some stuff passed across my pinterest feed and I just had to try it out:

The King's Dead, Long Live The Queen - blue mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 10 mins.

Now for the requests!

MichelleH requested a Victorian-type ice skating steampunk fairy, here is what I doodled so far, mostly victorian though:

Ice Skating Victorian Fairy - blue mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 15 mins.

Next, Rachel Ndeto (Hi Rachel! Welcome!), asked for: "...maybe for inspiration you can use dress from the 1910's. I've always admired the long, elegant gowns"

1910's inspired gown - blue mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 15 mins.

 Marebabe asked for: "I would like to see you draw a shy and demure young lady from Jane Austen's era, complete with a bonnet. (They really knew bonnets back then!)"

Demure - blue mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 15 mins.

And finally for today, a very quick sketch inspired by rhonda's request: "i'm going to my first "con" in March and have no idea what to wear. Pictures i've seen are steampunk, victorian and my favorite (i think)- ren faire-ish types outfits. How about something that's feasible for a girl to wear that can be put together rather cheaply?"

Steanpunk Style - blue mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 10 mins

I actually used pieces of clothing I already own to do this, a military style jacket similar to this one from Torrid.com:

Available at Torrid.com

And the hip bag is one I also own and bought at Etsy on this store:

Some olive pants, or even jeans, accessories and a corset to wear under the jacket and you could have a comfortable ensemble for a con that isn't too expensive to put together.
