Using GiMP (a free alternative to Adobe’s Photoshop), I produced this image to…

…tfit and go: “I have to cosplay that.” Picture me on my couch watching The Umbrella Academy Season 2, seeing Klaus, screaming at my television and immediately Googling reference pictures. Fans of the Hargreeves siblings can agree that Klaus’ cult outfit was a LOOK. Usually, I have an idea of how to construct a cosplay in my head, but I had no idea what to do about that coat. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Netflix design team or a magic wand to make…

This version of The Seance opts for more comfortable, albeit still eccentric, costume and opts for no shoes to enhance his necromancer abilities….
