Carbon Costume Cartoons
Stacy Stickler from Stickin’ Around
Stacy (Ashley Taylor) may seem a little bossy. But what is a girl to do when she knows what she wants and how to get things done? She really does love her friends and family and means well. But boy do they sometimes get on her nerves!
Stacy’s look makes for a great closet cosplay. An orange tank top, orange skirt, and yellow socks cuffed above pink shoes is an easy look using pieces that can transition to other cosplays or work with your daily wardrobe. The most intensive part of the cosplay is her hair which you can replicate with your own hair and some pomade if you are so inclined.
Hank J. Wimbleton from Madness Combat
Hank J. Wimbleton is the main fighter of the Madness Combat series. He has killed over 600 people in the series, and has died in nearly every episode, including three times by Tricky. Hank is excellent with hand-to-hand combat, and takes no greater pleasure than brutal combat.
Geoff from Total Drama Island
Geoff (voiced by Dan Petronijevic) is a camper on team Killer Bass in the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island. Along with fellow teammates Courtney, Duncan, Izzy, Sadie, Tyler, and the other members of Killer Bass, Geoff attempts to outsmart and outplay the other inhabitants of Total Drama Island in search of a $100,000 prize. Geoff wears a cowboy hat and blue shorts along with a bright pink button down shirt, left open. If you aren’t feeling confident enough to walk around with your torso showing, you could always snag a six-pack t-shirt to layer underneath.
Trent from Total Drama Island
Trent (voiced by Scott McCord) is a member of team Screaming Gophers in the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island. Some of Trent’s teammates include Gwen, Cody, Heather, Lindsay, and Owen. Trent is a relatively laidback contestant and a straight-A student who becomes close with Gwen early on in the competition. Trent’s costume includes black jeans, green sneakers, and a camouflage long sleeved shirt. To make the green t-shirt he layers on top, don’t be afraid to get a little messy and tap into your childhood artistry by painting your hand with black fabric paint and pressing the design onto your shirt. Just be sure to allow plenty of time for it dry before you have to wear it!
Sheen Estevez
Sheen Estevez is a character in the Nickelodeon show, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. He is the main character in his spin-off, Planet Sheen. His best friends are Jimmy Neutron and Carl Wheezer. Hyperactive and loud, Sheen is obsessed with the action hero, Ultra-Lord. Use the gel to spike your own hair or a dark brown wig.
Carl Wheezer
Carl Wheezer is a character in the Nickelodeon show, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Cautious and insecure, he has asthma and many allergies. His best friends are Jimmy Neutron and Sheen Estevez. Whereas Jimmy loves adventure, Carl fears just about everything. But the one thing Carl loves are llamas. The suspenders in this guide are optional, since they’re only seen in the movie and not the actual show.
Jimmy Neutron
Jimmy Neutron (short for James Isaac Neutron) is the protagonist of the Nickelodeon show, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. His two best friends are Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez, and he has a robot dog named Goddard. As the title suggests, Jimmy is impressively intelligent with an IQ of 210. When he’s in a crisis, he urges his brain by saying “Think, think, think!” and when he figures out a solution, he exclaims “Brain Blast!” While Jimmy is kind and caring, his knowledge can make him an arrogant know-it-all. However, he enjoys being the one to save the day. To him, there’s nothing whipping up a new invention or science experiment can’t fix.
Geri from Geri’s Game
Ger is the main character in the Pixar short “Geri’s Game” from 1997. It was released in theaters along with A Bug’s Life and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1998. Geri is an old man who plays chess against himself in a park as both Black and White.
Asami’s Formal Dress from Legend of Korra
Asami (voiced by Seychelle Gabriel) is probably the most mature and steady of Korra’s group. She carries herself with a sense of calm and collected poise that runs counter to the chaos the group so often experiences. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her breaking point or that she doesn’t feel deeply for her people, and for Korra most of all.
Asami is fashion-forward and has several looks throughout the series. But her formal look is one of her most striking and it is one that can be replicated with just a little DIY. A high-collared sleeveless red gown can be altered with just a few snips at the neckline to create the keyhole in the chest and the curved angle of collar similar to Asami’s gown. Fabric Fusion will glue the seams down from the cut edges, creating a smooth finish in the area and preventing any runs or fraying. And it can be used to glue on a bow made of burgundy cord.
With that bit of DIY done, all you need is a long brown wig, gold decorative hair clips, stacked gold bracelets, and vintage-style black heels.
Risty Wilde from X-Men: Evolution
Risty Wilde (voiced by Nicole Oliver) drove fans wild when she first showed up in X-Men: Evolution. With her British accent and punk hair, fans were sure Risty would eventually become Psylocke or was at least fashioned after her. They were shocked to find out she was actually Mystique trying to stay close to Rogue using a fake identity the way only Mystique can.
Unlike Mystique’s usual blue appearance, Risty’s look will rely less on body paint and more in hairstyle. A black bob with purple streaks clipped in, to be specific. For her usual outfit, all you need is a beige long sleeve shirt, dark red pants, and blank ankle booties. They’re pieces that can fit into your usual wardrobe or easily transition to other cosplays, making this not only a great cosplay by itself but also a great option for people traveling to a convention or with limited space to store their cosplays
