Old Coot from The Old Coot Show
Old Coot (voiced by Ryan Miller) is the main character in The Old Coot Show, a YouTube show that follows Old Coot and his son on a series of brief wacky adventures. To recreate this simple look, you’ll want to flesh-colored zentai suit to evoke the eyeless design of the character, as well as a grey beard to wear over that. You can forgo the cross and rope accessories that come with the brown monk’s robe, leaving you with just the hooded cloak necessary for the costume.
Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon
Makoto Kino (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Amanda Céline Miller) is a Sailor Guardian in the anime and manga series Sailor Moon. Known as Sailor Jupiter when in her Sailor form, Makoto is an orphan, having lost her parents in a plane crash. She is tomboyish and loves cooking. Makoto has long brown hair that she wears in a ponytail. Her school uniform consists of a khaki skirt and matching blouse. Finding an exact match can be tough, but you can recreate the look with a similarly colored sailor sweatshirt (though you may want to pin the rabbit ears on the hood out of sight). When fighting evil by moonlight with Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardians, Sailor Jupiter’s costume is dark green with matching boots. In both her civilian and Sailor forms, she wears pink rosebud earrings and a green hair tie in her hair.
Female V from Cyberpunk 2077
V (voiced by Cherami Li when female) is the main character in the RPG game Cyberpunk 2077. V is a fully customizable character and the decisions you make about V’s appearance and other attributes can all impact the story. The female V has an asymmetrical haircut and wears a bomber jacket with moto-inspired pants. If you don’t want to shell out for a replica jacket, you can recreate the look with a brown bomber jacket by adding light strips to the inside of the collar.
Adrian Shephard from Half-Life: Opposing Force
Colonel Adrian Shephard is the main protagonist of the video game Half-Life: Opposing Force. Colonel Shephard is a member of the United States Marine Corps sent to Black Mesa Research Facility to help eliminate alien invaders. Shephard wears white camo with a green tactical vest, camouflage helmet, and a gas mask. To recreate his mask, you can use some window tint film to update a cosplay mask with clear lenses, which is much easier to find.
Weird Girl from Frankenweenie
Weird Girl (voiced by Catherine O’Hara) is a character in Tim Burton’s stop-animation film Frankenweenie. Weird Girl is a classmate of Victor Frankenstein. Weird Girl has long hair with bangs and wears a floral-printed dress. To recreate her costume, you can use either a white or grey dress, depending on your preference, and add the black flowers with fabric paint. Some light grey body paint can help give you a ghoulish appearance to match.
Numbuh 362 from Codename: Kids Next Door
Rachel T. McKenzie (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane), better known as Numbuh 362 is a recurring character on the Cartoon Network series Codename: Kids Next Door. As the Supreme Leader of the KND organization, Numbuh 362 is serious but fair, always concerned for the well-being of the operatives under her command before she retires and Numbuh 5 takes over at Supreme Leader. Numbuh 362 has blonde hair and wears a colander with two blue sabers and an orange decal with her designated number on it as a hat. Her uniform consists of a teal jumpsuit and orange sweater, with grey sandals. To recreate Numbuh 362’s hat, cut craft foam pieces to look like her number plate and sabers before gluing them to a grey colander. A tiger stripe sweatshirt or plain orange pullover can help evoke her costume look depending on your preference.
Gus Porter from The Owl House
Augustus Porter (voiced by Isaac Ryan Brown) is a witch on the Disney Channel series The Owl House. He is close friends with Luz Noceda and Willow Park. Gus has a dramatic flair, which serves his track as an illusionist. He is excitable and enthusiastic. When recreating Gus’ look, you’ll want to focus on either his more casual appearance or his Hexside uniform, though both rely on layering different pieces with a medieval feel to them.
Abby Park from Turning Red
Abby Park (voiced by Hyein Park) is the shortest, feistiest member of the friend group at the heart of Disney-Pixar’s Turning Red. As one of four best friends, Abby spends much of her time with Mei Lee, Miriam Mendelsohn, and Priya Mangal. Abby truly wants to help Mei, but can sometimes misremember crucial information. She’s a big fan of Mei’s red panda form, though, and is very supportive. Abby wears purple overalls layered over a sweater. To make your overalls look more like hers, you can add iron-on flower patches.
