Carbon Costume

Kenneth Chase was an athletic young man whose fascination for birds led to him drugging and killing them for their feathers. Once his obsession carried over to humans and after fleeing the police in his hometown, he joined the circus under the alias Jeffrey Hawk, using the cover of a friendly clown to hide his dark nature. This allowed him to kill many victims, keeping a finger from each. The Clown now drugs and sacrifices countless survivors as one of the killers in the game Dead by Daylight. The Clown’s costume can be recreated a few ways, depending on your personal tastes. You can use a latex mask, or recreate his clown makeup by hand, and a colorful clown costume could be made to look dingy, or a more subtly colored one could be substituted in its stead.

Ken Masters is a playable character in the classic video game Street Fighter. Born and raised in the USA, Ken is an aggressive and unpredictable opponent. Like his best friend and rival Ryu, he aims to test his abilities against different fighters, yet he holds more restraint due to his family values. Use the fabric scissors to cut the sleeves off the red gi.

Beat (ビート, Biito) is the game’s mascot and the main playable character in the Sega series Jet Set Radio. He’s a teenager who, together with his gang GG, enjoys skating around Tokyo, marking his territory with graffiti, and causing mischief that sets off the police captain and SWAT team.

Oz is the yellow playable character in the visual novel game Monster Prom.  Oz is established as non-binary with masculine pronouns by default (though these pronouns can be changed in-game).  Oz is made entirely of fear, which accounts for his appearance as being made of dark matter.  His school clothes include a golden yellow cardigan and dark grey pants, with a gold watch.  To create Oz’s look, you can use a black body suit and add his white eyes and eyebrows with fabric pens.  If you’re feeling particularly creative, you could craft the small black creatures (who represent individual phobias) that attach to him by using black felt, a little stuffing, and the same white fabric pens.

Ring Fit Trainee is the main character in Ring Fit Adventure, a young woman with workout clothes and orange hair that resembles a flame. Along with Ring, a fiery golden ring, the trainer is on a mission to take down Dragaux. Ring Fit Trainee is the Nintendo Switch’s spiritual successor to Wii Fit Trainer, who also whips gamers into shape. Ring Fit Trainee cameos as an unlockable spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Trucy Wright (Kira Buckland / Chieko Higuchi) is Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright‘s adoptive daughter, biologically descended from a long line of talented magicians, the Gramarye family. When she’s not making mischief, doing magic tricks, or a bit of both, she moonlights as an investigative partner for Phoenix’s law agency.

Trucy’s magician roots are evident in the way she dresses herself. This tutorial covers the basic items that make up her costume, but for a more detailed cape with a broach and the playing card-inspired trim, I recommend following this tutorial.

Kicks is one of the wandering merchants that show up on your island at random in the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He sets himself up in the town square when he arrives and stays until late that night. Kicks is a skunk, but don’t let that put you off. Because if there is one thing about him that doesn’t stink, it’s his sense of fashion! Whether it’s shoes, socks, handbags, or accessories, he’s always got the latest and greatest!

The challenge with Animal Crossing characters is deciding how much of their animal nature to include. You can copy Kicks’ look by just copying his clothes or you can use black body paint and white body paint to achieve his classic skunk markings. You will also need peach body paint to create his nose.

In both cases you will want a white wig and pomade for styling as well as a yellow driver’s cap. A cream button down shirt, tan suspenders, yellow knee pants, brown boots, and white gloves make up the rest of his outfit. If you decide to go for the animal-accurate look you will also want black ears and a skunk tail in addition to your body paint.

Doctor Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik is the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog and the main villain of the series. He’s a mad scientist with a rotund build and bald head, both reminiscent of an egg.
