The Hag from Dead by Daylight
As a young girl, Lisa Sherwood was kidnapped by a village of cannibals. After being chained to a wall and slowly eaten for weeks, she broke free and ate her former captors alive. As the Hag, she sacrifices survivors to the Entity in the game Dead by Daylight, though she also occasionally eats them. The Hag’s costume is simple, but some patience will be required in order to apply the body paint necessary to achieve the finished look.
Chuck Greene from Dead Rising 2
Chuck Greene (voiced by Peter Flemming) is a former motocross champion, a widower, and a father that will do whatever it takes to protect his daughter. Sometimes that involves fighting off the undead. Sometimes it involves things a little crazier. Chuck has the skills to handle it, though. And for as long as he can, he’s going to keep his daughter safe.
Chuck Greene is a great cosplay for those who want to be comfortable. He wears black boots, blue jeans, and a motocross jacket in yellow and black. His weapon of choice is the Paddlesaw (when he can’t ride a Slicecycle) but those aren’t exactly easy to make. A kayak paddle is a good start to one, though!
Milkman Karlson
In the eponymous video game created by YouTuber Dani, Milkman Karlson must make his way to the store to buy milk. However, this is no ordinary milk run, with enemies appearing in his path to slow him down. Milkman Karlson must use his weapons to dispatch of these enemies and he can earn money by not only killing his enemies, but by doing “epic” tricks and flips. To dress as Milkman Karlson, you’ll need a black shirt, yellow pants, and blue overshirt. For a little extra pizzazz, you can also opt for a pair of googly eye glasses and bright green socks to pull it all together.
Belle from Brawl Stars
What she lacks in health stats, she makes up for in power. And as leader of the Goldarm gang, Belle knows power.
Her confidence shows in the regal colors she uses in her costume. Purple gloves and a purple scarf draped as a cape complement her purple vest and green pants. Black boots, a black belt, and yellow shirt round out her outfit while black glasses and a white wig finish off the whole costume.
Nick Ramos from Dead Rising 3
With no memory of his past and few clues to go on, Nick (voiced by Andrew Lawrence) is one of the youngest and the most mysterious protagonists in the Dead Rising series. He also makes for a great cosplay with the exception of his weapon, the sledge saw, which takes a build all its own to replicate.
Sledge saw aside, a Nick Ramos cosplay is great for people who want something with reusable pieces. A set of coveralls with the sleeves torn off, workboots, and a patch is all you really need for the clothing. A tattoo pen lets you copy the “12” tattoo on his neck, finishing off the whole look.
Julian Devorak from The Arcana: A Mystic Romance – Love Story
Julian Devorak is a fugitive doctor and one of the six available love interests in the mobile game The Arcana: A Mystic Romance – Love Story. Julian, also known as Ilya, is both charismatic and theatrical, with a flair for drama. His patron arcana is The Hanged Man, which gave Julian the power to heal in exchange for unwanted memories. Julian is tall and gangly, with messy auburn hair and an eye patch that covers the damaged sclera of his right eye, he also often wears a red-lined trench coat draped casually over his shoulders. Though this exact item can be difficult to find, a more common red-lined cape or cloak can help achieve a similar look.
Brittany from Pikmin 3
Brittany is one of the three playable characters in the Nintendo video game Pikmin 3. She works as the botanist for the crew and records notes about the fruits found on PNF-404. Her home planet is Koppai. While strong-willed, Brittany overindulges in juice, often taking more than her fair share. Craft an antenna headband and apply pink blush to complete this look.
Nea Karlsson from Dead by Daylight
Nea Karlsson is an urban artist from Sweden who, upon tagging the Crotus Prenn Asylum, found herself transported to the realm of the Entity. Nea was always a rebellious person, finding her place in the skate parks and urban scene of her hometown. With cat-like reflexes and streetwise skills, she is good at both hiding and surviving in Dead by Daylight.
Princess Pride from Mega Man Battle Network
Although she takes a brief turn as a villain, Princess Pride is a passionate and kind ruler over Creamland. Voiced by Jillian Michaels in the anime, she is better suited to the role of hero and she wears the mantle well.
Princess Pride has two main costume. One is the white dress and crown from the game Mega Man Battle Network 2 and the other is the brown and cream coordinated outfit from both MMBN 5 and the anime.
For the white dress you’ll want something long with short puffed sleeves and a mermaid cut. That is a very specific cut, however, so any white mermaid cut dress and a white shrug can sub in. You’ll also need long white gloves, white tights, and white heels as well as a blonde wig and a silver crown. Jewel on her gown is best recreated with a cosmetic button and some fabric glue though you can use a pin brooch as well if you want to reuse the dress for other cosplays.
For the brown and cream look you can use the same blonde wig while swapping your crown for a brown newsboy cap. A white shirt, brown vest, white thigh highs, and dark brown boots round out most of the clothes while short white gloves act as the only accessories and body tape helps keep the socks in place. The tricky part is her shorts. They are an uncommon style but you can recreate something close to it by blousing the legs of the pants pictured above.
Penelope McQueen from Rock Band 2
Penelope McQueen is a character from the Rock Band video game series. She appears as a playable session musician in both Lego Rock Band and Rock Band 2. In the second installment of the series, Penelope wears a dark newsboy cap, black puffy-sleeved blouse, oversized tie, and thigh high boots. To truly achieve her rocker style, don’t be shy with the dark lipstick and heavy eye shadow.
