Carbon Costume

Painwheel (voiced by Izumi Kitta and Danielle McRae) is one of the eight original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  She was kidnapped and eventually transformed into her terrifying form by Valentine and Brain Drain.  Painwheel has brown hair that is mostly pulled back, though two pieces are left free to frame her face.  She also wears a creepy stitched mask with red eyes.  You can choose a full-face or half-face mask that is similar depending on your comfort level.  Painwheel’s clothing mostly consists of a high-neck sleeveless dress with thigh slits on both sides and cuffs around her wrists, ankles, and throat.  You can take a pair of scissors to your preferred dress to cut it to length.  A large part of Painwheel’s transformation is the weapon attached to her back, which resembles a large shuriken or a pinwheel, part of her namesake.  To recreate this aspect, you can purchase a replica oversized shuriken and attach it to your back or take a pair of costume wings and paint them metallic silver.  Lastly, paint your nails and draw dark veins using an eyeliner pencil.  You can also replicate the nails that stick out of her body using wooden golf tees and liquid latex to hold them in place.

Toadette is a recurring Toad character from the Super Mario Bros. franchise.  She is one of the playable characters in Super Mario Bros. Wonder alongside Mario, Luigi, and others.  Unlike other Toads, Toadette’s color scheme is almost entirely pink.  Her outfit consists of brown shoes, white pants, and a pink dress layered beneath a red and gold vest.  When deciding how to create your Toadette hat, you may want to purchase a pre-made crochet version.  Otherwise, you can use a pink mushroom beret and then add your own pom-poms by running a string of thread from the brim of your hat and through the pom-poms before tying it off at the end.

If you’ve ever wanted to date some of your horror favorites, then Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim is the game you’ve been waiting for.  It allows players to romance creepy killers including the Huntress, the Trapper, the Wraith, and the Spirit.  Dwight Fairfield and other survivors also make cameo appearances.  Dwight’s look in the dating sim spin-off is quite different from his original costume.  He still has his messy brown hair and square glasses, but he trades out blood stains for a green and white hibiscus shirt, tan shorts, and a yellow neckerchief.  Finish the beachy look with outdoor-friendly shoes and a grey watch.

Parasoul Renoir (voiced by Rie Tanaka and Erin Fitzgerald) is one of the original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  The princess of the Renoir family, Parasoul is also Umbrella‘s older sister.  Parasoul has red hair with bangs that she sweeps over her right eye.  She wears a black outfit with a high neck, long sleeves, and a mini skirt.  She pairs her clothes with black flats and a silver necklace with the cross of St. Peter, the same worn by her mother.  For her weaponry, Parasoul favors a Luger pistol and the Living Weapon Krieg, which looks like a large, black umbrella.

Maria (voiced by Amy O’Grady) is a character from the Silent Hill franchise who appears in Dead by Daylight as well.  In her original game, Maria looks nearly identical to James Sunderland‘s late wife. Maria has short blonde hair with pink tips and wears a pink animal print mini skirt, cropped sweater, and brown boots.  She also has a pink butterfly tattoo on her abdomen and accessorizes with a pink choker necklace, blue belt, and waist chain with gold medallions.  You can add pink highlights to a blonde wig with a chalk hair comb and use a temporary tattoo to emulate her look.  While you might not be able to find an exact match for her skirt or choker necklace, similar options exist, so choose whichever you like best.

Blood (voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi) is the Mad Hatter character in the Heart no Kuni no Alice/Alice in the Country of Hearts dating game series/movie.

He is the leader of the Mafia in Wonderland, and has an extensive knowledge of Wonderland as a whole. He’s also the younger brother of Vivaldi, that world’s Queen of Hearts character.

Blood has shaggy black hair and varied blue/green eyes depending on the artist. He wears a character-indicative black top hat with the 10/6 card stuck in it, decorated with red roses. His outfit consists of a white buttoned undershirt, a set of matching under-vest and outer jacket in white with gold detailing and cuffs, and formal white gloves. The jacket has a red inner lining and multicolored card suit buttons on one side. He wears black pants, and a weird set of tall white, gold-trimmed, boot looking things on his legs, that lead down into black shoes, with a red buckle strap, gold buckle, and yellow soles.

Helen Park (voiced by Lily Cowles) is a character in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.  She is an MI6 agent eventually recruited to join Russel Adler‘s team.  To recreate her costume, you’ll need a short black wig, brown shoes, and straight leg jeans to start.  Then, layer a bomber jacket over a chunky knit sweater and black turtleneck.  Helen also wears an army green utility belt, which you can customize with as many compartments as you need.

Boris (voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama) is the Cheshire Cat character in the Heart no Kuni no Alice/Alice in the Country of Hearts dating game series/movie.

He is one of the route options throughout the game series, and is an absolute menace to most of the other characters around him, particularly Alice and Pierce (the Dormouse). He’s very fond of riddles, and likes to work with machinery, crafting his own add-ons to weapons.

Boris has golden slitted cat eyes, and short and fluffy dark pink hair, with cat ears set to the sides. His outfit is color-matched to his hair, with a big pink striped boa, and pink zipper/border detailing on his black croptop and skirt/shorts combo, and a fluffy pink tail. He also has several gold jewelry accents, as well as black and pink gloves, matching striped socks, and white shoes with chunky black soles.
