Beginnings: Steampunk Embalmer

I originally toyed with the idea of a Steampunk embalmer outfit better than a year ago when I hashed out this drawing while in class.



This summer, my sister and I decided it was high time we had a pair of Steampunk outfits, so I refined my idea.


Due to time limitations, all I've done beyond this is the collecting of materials and starting into creating the shoes.
I wanted the shoes to be exceedingly pointed, making them refined, yet sinister. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything at any second hand store that was pointed enough, so I settled on getting two pairs of shoes and combining them.


I wanted to graft on the toes of the high heels and so hacked them up.


After cutting some of the leather from the high heels sole, I was able to get a feel for how the two shoes would look combined.


That's as far as I've gotten, but hopefully I will have them done by the end of the week.
