I like how the practical, ventilation/filtration and eye protection, are worked into the aesthetic.

Plague masks?

#i have been thinking about doing this with spare goggles and ventilation PPE parts from the DIY store#its the cooling part the i get hung up on#respiration doesn't move enough air and i don't know electrical and haven't seen fans smaller than comp ones#although i haven't looked in a few years#cosplay might have gotten bigger enough i could just buy what used to have to be made

Yeah. The plague mask + steampunk aesthetic works really well together. I remember when steampunk was first getting big in the USA years ago, plague masks were a favorite addition to cosplay and costumes.

It's very reminiscent to the WWI gas masks in some ways, only with the beak rather than a ventilator or a hose connected to a ventilator.

You should do it if you have the opportunity. I would talk with more cosplayers to get some ideas, bc there's some really creative people in that space.
