Steampunk ideas from Balticon

Posted May 28, 2012 by Laurel Wanrow in Conferences, Writing / 0 Comments

I attended the Balticon Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention this weekend. Among the various workshops was one on accessorizing your steampunk costume. I got a few new ideas for describing characters’ outfits, though these are a little much for my rural folks.

This airpirate’s pistol excited me the most.

It is outfitted with aether canisters, exactly what I was thinking of when I designed my fungus gun in my WIP The Farm. In my case, the larger canisters hold distilled mycelium. However, I forgot the tubes to feed it into the barrel like you see here. Edits are needed, but you can read the excerpt on my page titled The Farm.
