Cosplay Progress: Steampunk Nightwing and Riddler
One of the cosplays I'm working on for this year is a Steampunk version of Nightwing alongside my Dad who wants to do a Steampunk Riddler. This idea came about after NYCC 2013 when my Dad was incredibly interested in the idea of steampunk so much that he wanted to create a costume. The Riddler was the first thing that came to his mind. At RI Comic Con last year we told this idea to Jessica Nigri who not only loved the idea but then suggested to me that I try my hand at a Steampunk version of Nightwing to go along with it, and thus the whole plan was set!
At this moment our weapons/props are done and Dad has a fancy Hat he ordered online from one of the vendors he saw last year. Below are all the progress pictures I've posted on Twitter and my cosplay page so I hope you guys enjoy them! What's left for me is the goggles, a leather aviator hat which I picked out and need to buy and cufflinks to make. The rest I can do with clothes at my house! Dad has a whip being made alongside his cane and he also needs to create gears for the outfit as well as a vest and matching pants/shoes.
