Now, I like the idea of the goggles, but I've got two big problems. One, the goggle is floating above your head without actually making contact. Which gives an unpleasant visual effect of the goggles floating around your head, making it appear to be some kind of low hanging halo, and the grey thing (gears?) gives basically no additional flare.
The next thing is the legs. I get the belt is laying right on his hips, instead of his waist. It's a common thing, and in the last month or so, I realize I've done the same thing. Poor practice on two fronts. One, you don't wear a belt on your hips. You wear it on your gut, which, on model, is approximately lines 3 and 4 from the bottom of the torso section. I wouldn't bring it up, except that when the legs move, and if the body is view from any low angle, an unfortunate effect happens. The belt 'splits' and you can see the robes(?) between it. Now, if this is supposed to be a double belt, that'd be one thing, but that doesn't appear to be the intent here. My last problem, is that the vampire hunter looks less like a vampire hunter and more like a particularly religious handiman.
The thing is, when it comes right down to it, this is a perfectly good skin. It just doesn't look anything like what you're going for. I feel kinda bad, but that's my honest opinion, man. Like I said, great skin, but just... not what I'd call a Steampunk Vampire Hunter. Great idea, but not really executed. Not executed poorly, which would be one problem. But it's a good execution of something that just wasn't the initial idea.
