Carbon Costume

Gwen (voiced by Megan Fahlenbock) is one of the original contestants on Cartoon Network’s “reality show” Total Drama Island. She is, at first glance, the stereotype of an emo girl. But as the series progresses she sheds the stereotype and is show to be a much more fleshed-out character.

Gwen’s signature is her emo look. So dark hair with teal streaks and dark clothes are a must. She is usually shown wearing a black corset, black mini skirt with teal paneling to match her hair, black leggings, and tall black boots. She also wears a short-sleeve blue bolero shrug over longer green sleeves.

Finding a shrug like hers – or a skirt – is a little tricky. So green compression sleeves and a blue shrug can replicate her top while you might have to find fabric that matches your wig and add some fake panels onto your miniskirt to complete this look.

Nazz is the “it” girl on the Cul-de-Sac. She is the head cheerleader at Peach Creek Jr. High, and almost all the guys swoon over her. Nazz is sweet and kind, bringing a freshness to the neighborhood in Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy. Despite her sweetness, she can also be loud and speaks her mind.

Netflix has some pretty interesting cartoons but one of the most unusual is Dino Girl Gauko. It’s set in a world that is like ours yet utterly bizarre with aliens, sentient comets, robot teachers. And, of course, a middle schooler who turns into a dinosaur when she gets angry. And that’s part of what makes cosplaying Naoko/Gauko (voiced by Naoko Matui or Corina Boettger in Japanese and English respectively) so tricky.

Cosplayers can choose to be her human form which is a fairly simple and cute outfit. White Mary Jane flats, white cuffed socks, and a white Dickie collar accent a flared coral skirt and a yellow t-shirt. When Naoko becomes Gauko, however, she loses her socks and shoes though everything else about her costume stays the same including her curly brown hair with bangs.

Cosplaying Gauko on the other hand requires green opaque tights and long green gloves. Cosplayers can look up a tutorial on making invisible shoes to go with their costume or they can grab a pair of green flats since Gauko wears no shoes. Gauko’s head is the real challenge though. She has the face of a dinosaur which means either using a mask or using face paint. If cosplayers choose the mask, though, they need to make sure they can keep their wig in place!

Elmo Sputterspark develops the ability to manipulate electricity after being bullied as a young boy. Thus, the villain Megavolt was born. Megavolt is one of Darkwing Duck’s most notorious foes. Megavolt’s costume is brightly colored with a yellow jumpsuit and teal, blue, and red accents.
