Carbon Costume

Shiki Tademaru (voiced in Japanese by Natsuki Hanae and in English by A.J. Beckles) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He is one of the employees of the supernatural agency that Inugami runs, and is also half-human, like Kabane. Shiki is part spider Kemono and has the ability to use spiderwebs.

He has short spikey greyish pink hair, pinkish-purple eyes, and his outfit is mildly spider themed to go with his powers. Shiki wears a grey t-shirt underneath his jacket, which is a muted magenta color decorated with a spider web, with black and white detailing along the sleeves and hems, grey pants, and black shoes with magenta soles.

Snake (voiced in Japanese by Takuma Terashima and in English by Spike Spencer) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

Originally one of the first-string members of the Noah’s Ark Circus with an act to match his name, Snake eventually ended up coming to work at the Phantomhive manor, after the horrific end of all of his friends. In current storyline, he is on a mission with Finny, at Ciel’s order.

He has pale grey hair, matching eyelashes/eyebrows, golden snake-like eyes, and scaled skin. Snake carries around several of his own snakes because he can speak with them coherently, so he’s never usually seen without one. His outfit is very monochromatic, with the main highlights of his shirt being stand-out thick white stripes, while the rest is black detailed, with black pants, and thigh high lace up black boots.

Beast (voiced in Japanese by Yuko Kaida and in English by Tia Ballard) is part of Noah’s Ark Circus in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler, in the Book of Circus episode set.

She is one of the main first-string members in the circus, and specializes in the animal taming portion of the show, along with her pet tiger, Betty. She’s known the rest of the members of the first-string since she was young and is very close with them.

Beast has black ringlet-curled bob cut hair, red eyes, and theatrical black and red makeup. The outfit we usually see her in is a performers suit, very black and shiny and strappy, with lots of red flowing accents, including a red hairband with a large floral detail on top. She also has mesh gloves and stockings, topped with a diamond pattern, and black shin-high stiletto boots.

Dagger (voiced in Japanese by Nobuhiko Okamoto and in English by Michael Sinterniklaas) is one of the secondary main characters in the Book of Circus arc in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

He is one of the first-string members of the Noah’s Ark Circus troupe, and their resident juggler and knife thrower. He tends to be a bit hot-headed when it comes to other people approaching Beast, but is generally rather friendly to others around him.

Dagger has light green eyes with purpley-red eyeshadow around them, red makeup dots on his cheeks, and blonde hair with black bangs (he had black hair as a child, it appears to be bleached). His outfit colors are similar to Snake’s, with a few more pops of colors. Dagger wears a red and black hat off-center on his head, a black and white striped shirt with a ruffled collar, a tan vest over top, black capri-style pants with a skirt piece over top, and black and white boots.

Kabane Kusaka (voiced in Japanese by Natsumi Fujiwara and in English by Madeleine Morris) is the main character of the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He starts off the series completely isolated from people that aren’t his abusive aunt and cousin until he’s rescued by Inugami and taken to join his supernatural agency, where he meets Akira and Shiki. Kabane is half-human and is using the aid of the agency to try and find his parents.

Kabane has short, messy spiked black hair and big red eyes with very light and large eyebrows over top. The outfit that he wears is a reluctant hand-me-down from Shiki because he needed new clothes. It’s a two piece black and red shirt and jacket set with white skeleton detailing on the top half, and he wears black and white sneakers with red gloves finishing off the look.

This is a follow-up article to the previous Doll one I did, but this one will be covering her performance outfit. If you would like to read up on how to make her Freckles look, it’s linked here!

I included the wig and scar makeup used in the prior tutorial, but you can’t see them past the headpiece usually, so that’s optional if you want to use them or not. This outfit is a lot more showy than her civilian outfit, mostly capitalizing on a rose motif. The dress is puffed up with a white rose petticoat trim, the headdress is comprised of white roses, and the rest of her accessories also mirror that theme. She emulates almost a ballet dancer stylized doll, while doing her tightrope balancing act.

For the parasol you may need to paint the handle if you want it to be completely accurate, and for the tights I was unable to find a pair split exactly in that style, so I included two pairs of long socks, please just use one from each to have the same effect.

Ichiyō Higuchi (voiced in Japanese by Asami Seto and in English by Carrie Keranen) is from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

She is a part of the Port Mafia, with her usual duties being Akutagawa‘s bodyguard and aid. While tending to get stressed out due to the strenuous nature of her job, Higuchi is also a dual-wielding sharp-shooter and rather good at holding her own in combat.

Higuchi has golden blonde hair that’s usually tied up in a bun with loose bangs and side pieces, and her eyes are reddish-brown. She wears a semi-formal outfit to aid in movement while working, including a white button up-shirt, a pair of black slacks with a matching suit jacket, sheer socks, and black loafers, with a pair of sunglasses.

Phinks Magcub (voiced in Japanese by Kenichirō Ōhashi and in English by David Vincent) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime/manga HunterxHunter.

He’s one of the strongest members of the troupe, with a nen ability centered around extremely strong punch throwing. Phinks is one of the original founding members of the troupe, having known Chrollo since they were kids.

He has dirty blonde hair, often worn pulled back tightly, and speck-like eyes. While he does have another outfit that he’s seen wearing, the one we mostly see him in is this tracksuit-like one. A matching emerald green tracksuit with white and red detailing, and grey-blue detailed sneakers to top it all off.
