Description So, I've seen alot of steampunk designs for the European countries but I've never seen any for the Asian countries. I don't recall any anyways. So here's China with a steampunkish design. I'm sorry if it's not that steampunk, I can't design it that well, and I also wanted an Asian quality to it. (Though it does reminds me of Japan's uniform xDD) I think this is the first time I actually coloured China's eyes correctly. xDD

I finally finished this, after some months. Ha...ha. >_>

Oh, btw, I found out that textures can cover the crappiness of the colouring.

I hate it when people ignore the eastern nations. I myself an guilty of that sometimes, but after seeing the error of my ways I have decided to stop it.

Not many chines or japan theme steampunk. Their should be more either anime or game, gets tiring seeing europeon steampunk over and over again.

shadowzero20 In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-09-12 13:44:30 +0000 UTC]

yup, though i am curious what he looks as a human. so find good detailed human artist that doesn charge 120-200 bucks for a single pic. Dont really like artist that do that. Doesnt make a awhole lot of money.

dreaming-baka In reply to shadowzero20 [2010-09-12 19:08:31 +0000 UTC]

120-200? Wow...that's too much. o_o I mean, even 50 is alot to me. xDD;;

shadowzero20 In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-09-12 20:17:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah i hate that, you think with 120-200 might be several or more characters in the pic itself or a nice 5 page comic.

dreaming-baka In reply to shadowzero20 [2010-09-12 20:25:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah at least five characters or something. xD;; But alot of people overprice stuff anyways...

I have been looking for steampunk China ideas for a while and hadn't found any so I am totally excited to see this!
I reallllly like it! >w< Would you mind if I use it as a partial basis for a real costume? (I'm tying to make one xD)

Well particularly, it's for Fanimecon 2011. They chose Steampunk as their theme for next year, and I wanted to make a costume for it, and I love Hetalia so xD.

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-06 21:53:24 +0000 UTC]

Oh~ I see. ^^ Sounds like fun! Are you going to be making the buttons at the front? Cause it looks hard. o_o

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-08-06 23:12:25 +0000 UTC]

*Totally didn't think about the buttons*
Well, I'm not fully sure of my finished design yet, but if I can find enough of the right buttons, then sure I definitely want to try!
I'll have to finish my design and post it soon xD xP

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-06 23:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Hehe I see. ^^ there might be some ready made buttons, but I'm not sure where you can get them. It's probably online ordering. You can use string, but it would take alot of time I think.

Anyways, I hope you finish the design soon~

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-08-07 22:13:17 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh okay xP
Question: Is the brown supposed to be a layer beneath the red or are they on the same level?
I'm already a workin' on the design as you can see

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-07 23:28:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh I made it on the same level. ^^ But I think it'd be neat if it was underneath.

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-08-07 23:36:27 +0000 UTC]

Hmm okay xD I was pooling my resources Believe it or not, I have a red (Qipao? not sure of what it is really called.) and some brown material sitting around, so I was seeing if I needed more material or not. I'll have to see what I can do though, because my red (dress thing) doesn't have sleeves, and is a bit too bright in color. (I'm hoping I can alter it somehow... but the sleeves worry me more than anything xD)

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-08 00:03:49 +0000 UTC]

Ohh I see. Um um, I guess you can add sleeves onto the dress? Or maybe try to buy the guy shirts, since they are really loose and long anyways. xD There are also 'tong juans' which are like, guy versions of the qipao (well, something like that xDD)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-08-08 00:06:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I definitely need sleeves for the costume, my biggest problem is just getting the same stuff to make the sleeves xD. Thanks for the info on the "tong juans" and such-very cool! I will have to look and see if I can find something, and I'm still hoping I'll be able to safely alter the dress's color. In the end, if worse comes to worse, I can always buy fabric I guess xP.

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-08 00:26:39 +0000 UTC]

there should be that type of fabric at places like Fabricland (lol yes xD) but it might be expensive. ><

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-08-14 00:27:09 +0000 UTC]

True true x3 I got a hat now for it! I'm so excited xD
I'll hopefully be able to post some new design sketches soon xP It hasn't changed much though, I fell in love with you design xDDD
Oh and I thought about mixing the design with this fanfic (well basically basing some of it off of the fanfic GAH I don't know how to explain...) It's called "You Can't Take the Sky From Me" and it's mostly USUK but China is a general and what not in the World Aviation Force in there xP

Thanks~ I'm glad someone likes it so much~

Oh I've heard of that fic before, it's quite famous. xD China is a general? Sweet. xDDD

The hat sounds good btw. ^^

LATE AND LAME REPLY IS BOTH LATE AND LAME.
But yay~ At the moment I found the fabric in JoAnn's, and it's dye-ing fairly well I just have to get the perfect concoction so I can get the color I want-I'm getting there slowly I think . Right now I'm working with orange juice and blueberries xD

I think my major issue now is direction (and possibly time xD) because I need to find a pattern or something to go off of. and the shoulders of the dress thing are too tight, and I've ended up favoring the brown collar, so it should make things easier that way anyway xD.

And I'm not sure it's a qi pao after all, since in Taiwan's profile on the Wikia it mentioned that she was wearing a Qi Pao, and her outfit seems quite different from Wang's *shrugs*

dreaming-baka In reply to Amathera [2010-08-21 23:52:32 +0000 UTC]

Orange juice and blueberries to dye the fabric? That's so cool! xD

Taiwan's outfit isn't really a Qi pao...at least I don't think so.. Qi Pao should be a one piece, not a shirt and a dress kinda thing. So don't worry about it. ^^

Amathera In reply to dreaming-baka [2010-09-08 03:27:44 +0000 UTC]

FFFT REALLY LATE REPLY IS REALLY LATE.

Yeah, I tried lots of natural stuff and have a research list of things I can try, but I'm also looking into a few other dyes. (I have a friend who has some of my samples and some dye but hasn't gotten to try it yet.)
I've been super busy with classes and all so I've gotten so little time to work on the costume, but I'm still doing what I can! D:

Right now I'm working on a design for the "World Aviation Force" badge that will be on the hat, and thankfully I have a friend who can custom-cut it out for me. C:

xD Ha ha yup, the time-stealing school xD No worries, my final deadline is May 2011, so I should have plenty of time xD
I'd like to get it done MUCH earlier so I can wear it to more cons, but we'll have to see how that goes xP
