I really liked the whole tutorial! It was really helpful, and it was one that was actually the most helpful to myself. I immediately fell in love with these goggles. I have, unfortunately, yet to make them, but I believe that the ease of the tutorial will make the whole process rather smooth and stress free. I like how you leave enough leeway to allow many, if not uncounted changes to be made to suit a person's own preferences. I also am glad you were able to create these wonderful works of art with so few materials and money. I will definitely pass the word along. Long live the Streampunks...
I love it! It was soooo helpful with my costume project (steampunk) that i was making for an art project, and the costume i was wearing to the local (?) anime convention that was last month. I think you are really good on stuff like this, and i they looked at several of your other things and they are amazing! I love you all I Love Your Art Work. Especially your steam punk stuff. Lol now im basically just typing how much i like ur stuff to meet the minimum word count. lol. i think you should make more stuff like this
Thanks for the kind words. I did try to make this as accessible as possible. I think that if a beginning artist can't make it exactly, the design is flexible enough that one can improvise.
