Well, when I said "=/= old western" I could have been a little less sweeping in the comment. There -are- old western style steampunk too. The third link I posted in clothing is very clearly western inspired. Hell, "wild wild west" with will smith has plenty of steampunk in it. My intent, though I failed to word it…
My first suggestion is that Steampunk =/= old western. While they share some elements, I tend to see more civil-war era clothing than western. Guns: Your guns look like just plain ole revolvers. Steampunk guns are usually variants of 3 major designs. Steam-powered "rail guns", ray-guns, and unnecessarily mechanical kinetic…

Thanks for your suggestions and reference pics, I'm now starting to get the steampunk idea now. Though I'm still not very…
Little update. I finally thought of a way to attach the holster strap to the clothes (via a latch inside the corset). The reason why the update is so little is because I'm currently spending my time studying steampunk guns, and I'm trying to find the right balance (not making it too ridiculous or too clunky).
I know it's not a new concept, but I still like it. Anyway, here's the progress so far: I also added layers for her eyes closing and her mouth opening. They're not the best in the world, but it's not like I'm gonna use them as animation blendshapes anyway. This will be a second character I'll make. The first one wasn't so…
