Carbon Costume

Melvin Sneedly (voiced by Jorge Diaz in the TV show and by Jordan Peele in the movie) is the central antagonist of the Captain Underpants series.  Melvin is incredibly smart, but is also a tattletale, which often puts him at odds with his fellow classmates, including Harold Hutchins.  There is some variation in Melvin’s costume, depending on which version you choose, but he always wears oversized glasses and a bow tie.

Snurfkin likes to wander around, and plays harmonica. He is a minimalist, preferring to value memories more than objects of memories. His easy going and warm personality is admired by the smaller, shy inhabitants of Moominvalley. Snurfkin enjoys the adventures of his life as a vagabond in Moominvalley.

In the anime and light novel series Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World, Subaru Natsuki (voiced by Koboyashi Yuusuke or Sean Chiplock) is the main protagonist.  Subaru is transported from a convenience store in Japan to a fantasy world where he becomes a knight to the half-elf Emilia.  Subaru typically wears the tracksuit he had on when he was brought to this new world, however he also has a butler’s uniform he wears while serving at the Roswaal mansion.  A standard butler’s costume will help to achieve this look, especially if you take the time to carefully outline the lapels with some standard grey fabric paint.  If you don’t like the look of a multi-striped bow tie, you could also use a plain blue one and paint a single stripe across it once it is tied.

Gowther is a character in the anime Seven Deadly Sins. Revealed to be a doll created by the Grand Wizard as well as a former member of the Ten Commandments, he is the Goat’s sin of Lust. His main power is Invasion and his main weapon is the Twin Bow. Alongside his androgynous appearance, Gowther prefers wearing women’s clothes. This outfit will require some handicrafts. First, cut a scoop neck from the t-shirt so it hangs off your shoulders. You might want to order the shirt a size up so it slouches down, and you’ll  see the straps of the black tank top underneath. Use the silver fabric paint for the design around the new neckline, as well as around the four black buttons, which you should place down the white shirt. Another option could be using black fabric paint to make the buttons as oppose to using the actual buttons in this guide. Regarding the lavender shirt, use the dark purple marker to draw vertical lines down the sleeves.

The Prince of Emishi Village, Ashitaka is a kind and peaceful man afflicted by a demon curse in the Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke.  After his town is attacked by a demon, whom he kills, Ashitaka is tasked with discovering why the boar was so afflicted.  Ashitaka joins forces with San after they meet when she attacks Irontown, leaving him with a cut on his cheek.

Gabby Gabby, voiced by Christina Hendricks, is a new character in Toy Story 4. She lives in Second Chance Antiques with three ventriloquist dolls as her personal bodyguards. Made in the 1950s, Gabby Gabby is a defective doll, as her voicebox is broken. Her scheme to then steal Woody’s voicebox makes her the antagonist of the film. Her goal is to win the affections of a kid named Harmony, but even with her new voice, Harmony rejects her. Now showing sympathy, Woody  plans to bring Gabby Gabby to Bonnie. Upon spotting a lost girl crying at the carnival, Gabby Gabby goes to her instead, doing the most noble thing a toy can do. Style the wig into two pig tails, and secure with hairspray and elastics, then fasten on the bow clips. Use the brow pencil to draw on fake freckles.

On Disney’s cartoon series The Weekenders, Lor McQuarrie (voiced by Grey Griffin) is considered the jock of her friend group. Lor is best friends with Trish Katsufrakis.  Lor is an athlete who excels at soccer and basketball. In keeping with her active life, Lor is often seen wearing loose-fitting jeans and t-shirts with sneakers.

John Paul Mercer (voiced by Michael Croner) – known as J.P. to his friends – is the oldest kid on the show Craig of the Creek. But being the oldest doesn’t make him the leader. In fact J.P. seems happiest going with the flow that his friends set. He’s loyal and kind-hearted, always quick to help those in need and capable of easily make friends.

Cosplaying as J.P. requires a little bit of DIY. His signature orange hair can be recreated with a wig but his hockey jersey is a different story. To replicate it you will need to buy a plain orange hockey jersey and then use white fabric to add the band around the abdomen and the smaller bands around the arms.

J.P.’s tan jeans will also require a little bit of DIY since his rough and tumblr brand of fun has worn a hole in the right knee and left them a bit dirty. Once that hole is in place, though, your outfit just needs a pair of black sneakers to be complete!
