Steampunk Fashion - An Description Of Steam Punk
Steampunk is a culture dedicated to a revamp of the Victorian Age. This classical age is mixed up with fantasy, typically filled with massive steam-powered mechs, and extravagant dirigibles. Steampunk genre is depicted in various different forms, including clothing, music, art, and literature.
Steampunk can be found even in the fashion industry, and it's becoming a major hit. There's lots of classic steampunk designs that integrate cogs and gears into the clothing lines of various designers. More specifically, the cosplay scene has been taking in the steampunk trend and helping it grow! There are many groups of steampunk cosplayers out there who design clothing that include modified victorian antiques. They sometimes portray themselves as victorian socialites, but more often as adventurers, pirates, or explorers. These cosplay outfits include steampunk goggles, decorated coats, and top hats, sometimes even ray guns! Steampunk is highly supported by the do-it-yourself community since most steampunk accessories are hand made. The rayguns are very popular because they are made from simple Nerf or Airsoft guns. There are a few steampunks out there who have the skill to make things out of wood and metal, without modifying things that already exist. Check out http://steampunkguides.com for more information on this.
Steampunk elements within the music genre aren’t as popular as other styles; however it does encompasses all different styles of music, including rock, rap, . Steampunk rock has a particular sound to it, the beats are dark, and gritty, are mixed with a presence of folk, and can often have a shanty sound to them. Abney Park is an aptly named Steampunk band that is not only influenced by it in there music, but also in the instruments and personas they carry with them on stage Other, rap and hip-hop influenced music usually has a dark up-beat bass, with lyrics depicting a post-apocalyptic world, or even that of a mad scientists workshop. Dr. Steel is an example of this. His beats are catchy and heavy hitting, but his character resembles that of a mad scientist.
Steampunk has been picked up by the art culture surprisingly fast. You can easily find paintings of dirigibles and other flying machines traversing grey skies above vast, desolate landscapes. Such art can be found online, at your local art shows, and in galleries. While the purpose and perspective of such paintings is unlike anything else, the art styles can be very similar to other styles you have seen. While being dark and dreary, the artwork often depicts a violent sea, a dungeon-like-lab, or a deadend world, sometimes Frankenstein-esque. It is easy to point out anything steampunk inspired because the style is particularly unique compared to others.
Literature has made breakthroughs with the Steampunk culture. The birth of this trend can actually be linked back to H.G. Wells, and Jules Verne. Without there knowledge, the inventions, and worlds that these two writers depicted became the base of what we see in today’s Steampunk community. The idea of a massive submarine, such as the one in “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, and a brass time machine in “The Time Machine” set up the idea of futuristic, yet what we would call retro nowadays, machines that seem so out of place in there given time periods. This idea was the very basis of Steampunk, and has been the driving force for many fanatics and hardcore fans.

I know the drawing is pretty bad and the characters has no eyes (can not draw) but what do you think of the costume design itself?

Answer:
I really like it myself! 
I like the switchblade though! You should put some gears on it (maybe you just didn't want to draw them but, they'd look good!)
Also, a pair of goggle would be cool (either on, on his head, or around his neck!)
I really like the belt!!!!
