Carbon Costume

The Twins (voiced by Anita Pudikova) are ballerina robots created as bodyguards for Dmitry Sechenov in the video game Atomic Heart.  Known as only Left and Right, the humanoid Twins were created with the most advanced technology available, making them as deadly as they are lovely.  The twins have smooth silver faces and lithe bodies.  To recreate their look, you can start with a full head-to-toe metallic silver bodysuit and layer a black leotard overtop.  If you don’t have hair long enough to style as a braided crown, use a wig, but either way, you’ll want to go heavy on the gold hairspray to get as close to the static metal hair look as possible.  Depending on which Twin you choose to play, you may also need a gold cropped jacket.  Lastly, add a red star sticker to the center of your expressionless forehead and, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can also add gold details to your elbows, wrists, knees, and feet with some fabric paint.

Mother Miranda (voiced by Michelle Lukes) is the antagonist of Resident Evil Village.  Mother Miranda was once a biologist who became a cult leader after she is infected by the Mold following the death of her daughter.  Mother Miranda experimented on villagers in the hopes of reviving her daughter, including Alcina Dimitrescu.  Eventually, she kidnaps Rosemary Winters, which draws Rose’s father Ethan as well as Chris Redfield to the Village in an attempt to thwart her.  Mother Miranda’s most recognizable costume includes a gold headdress and ornate black wings. To recreate her look, you can start with a black and silver renaissance gown and fingerless gloves.  Add the wings and drape a folded scarf over your shoulders.  If your hair is too dark, you can don a blonde wig, though it will be covered with a head wrap.  Lastly, you’ll need your gold crown and face chain mask to complete the look.

Professor Turo is the husband of Professor Sada and the main antagonist of Pokémon Violet.  He is the primary professor at Uva Academy.  Unlike his wife, Professor Turo’s outfit is very futuristic-looking, which can cause a little bit of a challenge when recreating the costume, but also offers some chances to get creative.  Most importantly, Professor Turo wears a white lab coat with blue square buttons.  You can purchase a regular lab coat and add new buttons to it if you’re up for a little DIY.  His bodysuit is another story and you can achieve a similar appearance in a few different ways.  A wetsuit in similar colors will give you a very close match, but a set of compression wear may be the more comfortable choice.  Lastly, a pair of slip-on shoes and a beard complete the look.

Professor Sada is a character from the video game Pokémon Scarlet.  Alongside her husband Professor Turo, she serves as a main antagonist of the game.  She is the primary professor at Naranja Academy.  Professor Sada wears a fur-trimmed lab coat over a pair of orange shorts and a matching cropped tank top.  She also dons a pair of orange leg warmers and brown sandals.  To DIY her fringed attire, take a pair of scissors to an orange tank and shorts.  An orange necklace with a shark’s tooth or a multi-tooth necklace without orange may suit your needs, depending on your preference.  Likewise, Professor Sada’s belt can be achieved with two different waist chains, one in orange and one with dangling shells.  To cap off her accessories, add some orange to your hair and nails, as well as a bangle bracelet.  If you have a hot glue gun, you can add light pink fur to the collar of her coat.  Otherwise, some clever tucking of a faux fur scarf can achieve a similar look.

The Junker Queen (voiced by Leah De Niese) is a tank hero in the Overwatch game series.  She is a brawler who thrives in close combat situations.  The Junker Queen has a striking look, with a blue mohawk and a costume designed to show off her muscular physique.  To recreate her look, you won’t want to be to attached to any of the clothing used, as some of it may need to be tattered or altered to suit her style.  Start with a black sports bra and cut-off shorts. You’ll want to shred a graphic print top with a skull on it to be as itty bitty as possible, as well as cut one leg off a pair of leggings while tearing holes in the side you do where.  Then, you can add the red glove and epaulets to your left arm before adorning your shoulder armor.  A studded gladiator skirt, red sash, and thigh-high boots will help pull the look together, and if you’re looking to add some studs to the boots or other parts of your costume, a rivet set can help you customize your pieces.

Junpei (voiced in Japanese by Tatsuhisa Suzuki and in English by Evan Smith) is the main player character of the first game in the Zero Escape game series, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

He ends up getting dragged into the second Nonary Game by getting kidnapped and forced to play, and then ends up subsequently being dragged into all the following games that occur throughout the rest of the series. The main person he’s close to through during these following games is his childhood friend, Akane Kurashiki.

Junpei has shaggy brown hair and matching brown eyes, and dresses very comfortably. He has a red flannel button up shirt, with a white hooded vest worn over that, and a bright blue and red vest on top. His pants are dark blue loose capri pants, and his shoes are blue and red detailed sneakers.

Kiriko (voiced by Sally Amaki) is a support hero in the Overwatch game series.  Kiriko uses kunai as a weapon and has healing abilities, and is aided by a kitsune spirit, which heavily influences her design.  When searching for a costume, there are several full cosplay outfits available for purchase if you’re willing to shell out for the convenience of getting everything together at once.  Otherwise, you can save money if you’re willing to get a little creative by layering a skirt over leggings paired with a short-sleeved top.  (Cut the front panel of the skirt for an even closer match.)  You’ll also need a wig, kitsune-inspired headband, fingerless gloves, and red high tops to complete the look.

Clover Field (voiced in Japanese by Yukari Tamura and in English by Wendee Lee) is one of the semi-main characters in the first two games in the Zero Escape series. For this piece, I’m covering her look from the first game, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

Clover has the 4th watch during the second Nonary Game (the first being prior to the start of the series) and is the younger sister of one of the other players, Snake. While usually cute and bouncy, she’s also prone to extreme violence when people she cares about are hurt or killed.

She has extremely voluminous pinky-red pigtails and turquoise eyes, accentuated by little face gems underneath the left one, and she wears a pair of snow leopard printed earmuffs. The outfit that Clover wears is very akin to a schoolgirl type look, with a white shirt, a red and green plaid bow, and a matching skirt. She wears an oversized black jacket with hot pink detailing and puffs as the sweater pulls. Clover’s shoes are a pair of hot pink heels, worn over black socks, and she wears very fluffy legwarmers with pink puffs that match the sweater attached to them.
