A few pictures from Providence Anime Conference!

Here's a few shots of the cosplay I debuted at PAC - my first steampunk design! I was inspired a by sm_matrix's steampunk mechanical doll and this steampunk aviator fairy from Dragon*Con that I saw last month, so, working off my Lolita Launchpad McQuack costume, I put together a clockwork fairy. I've just decided to name the persona "Cottingley," after the town in England where two teen girls, Frances and Elsie, took 5 photographs in the early 1900s that seemed to prove the existence of fairies. They insisted the photographs were not fakes, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, experts, and others agreed. The two cousins admitted, much later in life, that 4 of the photos were not as authentic as they had originally appeared, but were card cut-outs mounted on hat pins; however, they maintained that the 5th photograph, and the fairies themselves, were real.







It's going to have some upgrades, additions, and fixes, but by and large, I'm very please with the first trial run. I can't touch ANYTHING without the makeup flaking everywhere, but it looked alright. I'd like it to be a little smoother, though, I think.
