Steampunk X-Men - Magik

A Christmas present in watercolour for my SO. We designed some steampunk-style costumes for a couple characters and the Illyana was the first one chosen for me to fully flesh out. We tried very hard to make sure we didn't just throw some gears and goggles on a brown outfit and call it a day. I tried to approach her armour as not JUST armour but also a connection to her magic powers. Hence, there are runes of power on her corset and there's storage for magic vials and material components and whatnot all over.
