(i know i am a chauvinist...)

Yes, you are. Makes me wonder how goodlooking you might be... just kidding. I like steampunk, but for "inspiring" cosplay girls I prefer other settings. Steampunk is about whiskers and tophats and I like my women without whiskers.

i am with you on the whiskers issue...and as i am a guy the good lookingness of my mug i think is not up for discussion^^ per se...^^

as i have also played LARP in the past i say there is a good deal too chubby (using this word loosly here) girls in that genre too^^...and don´t get me wrong... i like my girls with a bit of meat on the rack too... no skinny ones for me^^but all in good measures^^

Maybe we shouldn't go there. Let's not derail unnecessarily.

Steampunk is about Victorian/Edwardian futurism, it is exactly what people want/make it to be, since no one today can ever actually BE a 19th century person. Most importantly it is about the aesthetics, and girls are allowed to play too

...It is a time and place long gone, and it is attractive to all kinds of people for all kinds of different reasons, some are disenchanted with our modern, unsustainable lifestyle, some see it as a way to recycle and repurpose, others like the escapism..it is no one thing or another, it is al labout the makers, and artists, and authors, and even the hobbyists.

Blabla, it's what I want it to be, all about tophats and whiskers.

...no love

with us here americans all they need is 3 things... (__Y__) , the ablitity to cook, and a hole of some sort

Speak for yourself, I need (_Y_), Plays video games, and loves to cuddle.

^be more specific with the video games! plus i'd prefer her not to cook, but also have some tattoos

In most cases (__Y__) beats most other... talents

actually the lot of you could call me a pervert of a special sort... but if a girl has not the right eyes then i am off...regardless how cool her (___Y___) might look... don´t get me wrong it is not the color...tho green eyes are my favorite but it is the look... i want to see that there is plenty of life behind those eyes... a certain spirit... it´s one of these things you have to see in vis a vis... but i met many beutiful girls that lacked for sure in that department... dead eyes are not something i like...(yeah haha...place your Z joke here...) also for that matter...the eyebrows are very important to me too.... there are oh so many that shave them off and redo them with makeup...*shudders* marlene dietrich is long gone...

Like this?

I'd put up with those eyes for the rest of her. Just so long as she doesn't like to watch me sleep

I'm with you there, Vik, though I'd extend the rule to the whole face. I don't care how flatchested a girl might be, it's face and attitude that make the decision.

Yes! Replace cuddling with tattoos and piercings.

GOOD video games.

Jokes aside, a good woman should be a good friend in the first place. Anything else is just a nice bonus.

vik i agree completly for me face is more important than body (not to say that isnt important ) ^ but what ishkatar says i agree with as well

Ya, cause I don't care how good she looks, if all we do is fight then nothig is worth it.

well... i sure do want a buddy as a wife...got it already too^^ and tho it is nice to say i want her for her inner talents the eye issue is really for others the boob thing... really some women have eyes that you just want to marry...and other not...

as the eyes IH showed are not reeeally seen i couldn´t say for sure... by the way... even only body shots in nekked flicks wont do for me until i have seen the face... sounds dumb? well a (not too good) friend of mine used to say... put a flag over her face and get it on...but i am not a man of that (ruined) character like him...


by the way... flatchested women have one major thing going on for them... if you are not into saggy bags () then this is the best strategy to keep body mass in shape... no shape stays no shape better than maximum shape through the years to come^^...


and back to the eye issue... eyes stay longer fresh and sexy than bewbs by the way

Esspcially if they are deep and full of color.

^good point vik, eyes dont get saggy with age

Anybody noticed how Jake hasn't said a thing for quite a while and how this turned into a "let's discuss what turns us on" thing? Just saying...

LOL!

Ya, Baiyuan has a point

well it is still a riveteer thread... that happens after a certain time of the absence of the OP...

jake? you all right ?

Well, it is the weekend....I rarely have time to get online on the weekends.

This weekend I actually did pop on a couple of times just to see where the (...Y...) issue was going since it is of particular interest to me. I like the "normal woman's eye" pic, but I am dissapointed that there were not more pics of scantily clad women showing ample amounts of cleavage. Just for purely research related reasons of course....I do have at least 3 projects in the works that are females...I'm just saying. I don't want this thread to become the a "Look at this hot chick thread" of Dakka, but a few here and there can't hurt.

Also, I like what you are all saying about eyes and such. But even a woman with amazing eyes, lovely lips, a nice butt (this for me is like eyes for Vik), great legs, flat tummy, and a nice rack...if she has a bad temperment, or is bitchy....or if she can't hold a decent conversation...the deal is off for me.

Nothing much to show update wise, we had nice weather this weekend, so my wife kept me out of the house for most of it.

Women are a distraction... the true master should feel no need for these mere creatures! Repent, I say! Restrain your poor flesh! Seclude yourself and carve your masterpieces!

Now shooo with you all, go model or something =)

I had actually been thinking of trying to find some local women who would want to model for me, you know for inspiration and whatnot....I probably shouldn't have run the idea by my wife. She got mad! Go figure.

Oh! I did get the other arm on the pirate! I am almost done with the collar, and lapels of the coat, then I'll take some more pics. I still need to give him hands, or hooks, or whatever, and weapons....and details... but he's coming along!

Also, my attempts to temporarily attach the arms to the Heresy investigator are not working...but I don't want to use glue, so I am still working on that.

Despite the fact that your divorce would give you a lot more time to sculpt, I offer this to provide both posing and relative marital bliss:

http://www.posemaniacs.com/

Also, if your email at work can handle it, I have like 10GB of "research" I could send you. Just make sure your supervisor isn't looking :-P

Posemaniacs isn't bad though, if a little creepy for work (the 3d models usually don't have skin.) They have 3d models of people in various poses that can be rotated for reference, and I think you can even make your own poses somehow or another.

Plus, I don't know about your wife in particular, but I don't think anyone could confuse this as fetish fuel

Yep, that is creepy! But thank you! I will use that!

As for the "research"...you know my email!
