Men's Classic Steampunk gloves can take two colors.

Men's Classic Steampunk Boots can only be colored one color.

This makes no sense. You can't even match the color schemes between the two supposedly matching costume pieces.

I'm not 100% on the legs/boots but I love the top half of this costume:

It seems trivial to create a character who shoots fire or freezes things in ice or whatever by use of SCIENCE! In a thread in the art/screen shots forum, someone made a SS scrapper who uses steam powered metal arms to pummel things. I went and, in playing around, made this sonic blaster:

Playing around, making an explorer/space airship sort of guy...



Trying to go for a closed helmet look gave me this rather menacing character...



I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of the steampunk guns since they just seem pointless. They already had working guns in that era, after all. Hopefully they'll eventually make them tintable since, ironically, they'd make better pulp 50's Sci-Fi blasters than they do steampunk firearms if only you could color them something besides gray and brown.

I might have found a fire blaster I like in Prairie Blaze.



Sadly, we have no bonnets or straw hats.

I have no idea what the technology/technique was to do the Organic faces or the Clockwork faces but both seem to look superior to the Steampunk faces. If I was able to use Organic without the "organic" bits or if the basic clockwork face was available as a flesh option, I would use them all the time.



The only alterations I made on these was to add lipstick to the female clockwork. But there's a night and day difference between the organic/clockwork faces and the steampunk ones and I far prefer the look of the former.

Three more and you have a barbershop quartet. As it is, he's more of a one man band...



Edit: Doh! Forgot his bow tie!

Thanks for the feedback, Z.

To consolidate my feedback in rough order of personal opinion (most-least):

(1) Jackets should follow the "Jacket - Chest/Shirt - Tie" method all the other jackets use. We already have tie options for wide ties and for bow ties so there's no good reason to force them on us if we don't want to use a tie.

(2) All parts should be tintable whenever possible without a base color heavily limiting the color options. Some baked in shading is fine (like the already in game Steampunk armor) but forced colors (steampunk backpack) are not. If I hit white, it should at least be in the spectrum of white. Pieces like the guns should be tinatable beyond the tiny bit of handle

(3) Jackets should all have sleeveless options

Actually, I'd be happy with just that. I do like the concept of the pack and the artwork, it's just the limitations that arise as you play with it that seem as though they could have been done a little differently from the start that take the shine off the pack.

Pirate costume is awesome.

Also, from the Test Server forum's thread...

I'm not entirely sure where I was going with this but this is where I ended up
