Carbon Costume

Shovel Knight is a 2-D side-scrolling game.  In this game, Plague Knight is a member of the Order of No Quarter.  As a member of the Order and a master alchemist, Plague Knight serves the Enchantress.  The Plague Knight’s costume is very similar to the familiar plague doctor popular at Halloween and as part of the steampunk aesthetic.  However, to create his green mak, you will need to set aside a little DIY time to either create one yourself using green fabric and an online tutorial or to paint a white mask to match the color of your gloves and belt.

Max is the main character of one of Rockstar Games’ iconic games, Max Payne. Max had always been one of my favorite characters, and i am happy to share this cosplay with you guys, enjoy.

Sly Cooper (voiced by Kevin Miller) is a renowned thief. Which makes sense for a young man who comes from a long line of thieves. Whether he’s traveling through time, outwitting the authorities around the globe, or sneaking into places though too secure to rob, he’s the man with a plan. And the skills to pull it off!

Since Sly is a raccoon there are a few unique components to his costume. Grey ears, a grey tail, and grey SFX paint will mimic the raccoon look. Of course you can just opt for the tail and ears while skipping the body paint if you prefer!

His clothes are fairly straightforward. A blue cap and black eye mask really tip him off as a thief. A yellow bandana around the neck mimics his collar while a blue shirt, grey pants, and blue boots finish the main part of the outfit. Yellow fabric paint is handy for painting the cuffs of some blue gloves for an extra touch. And, of course, you’ll need his hooked staff.

Henry Stickmin (voice by Marcus Bromander) is the hero(?) of the Henry Stickmin series. He starts out as a petty thief. And then, whether or not he likes he, he gets swept up into espionage, grand theft, and the wider criminal underworld.

As complicated as his life is, however, his costume is very simple! A black body suit and brown shoes make up his “clothes”. A white bald cap and face makeup give you the final touches of a “stick figure” look. You can add to his basic cosplay by wearing a black top hat with a gold patch, a blue top hat with a gold H on it, a red bow tie and name tag, or a bullet belt and machete. It just depends on the ending!

Felix Richter is a visionary architect with a past that is shrouded by the Entity. Descended from members of an ancient society, Felix’s exploration of an old laboratory belonging to The Blight led to his parents’ disappearance and eventually his own. Now, he is trapped in a never ending game of life-and-death in the world of Dead by Daylight.

Hm, red is looking kind of sus. Among Us is a multiplayer game about teamwork and betrayal. Similar to “Mafia” or “Push the Button,” one of your fellow astronauts is an impostor. As crewmate, your is to complete all your tasks, but as the impostor, your goal is to sabotage and kill everyone. Made for both mobile and desktop, the game has amassed a huge following this year, with 300,000 players per day and #1 in Simulation on the App Store. This costume requires some DIY for painting the helmet and dyeing the suit. While yellow is featured in this guide, you can swap out for the color of your choice. If you want to be an impostor, you can brandish a bloody prop knife and splatter some fake blood on the costume.

Midas (voiced in-game by Matthew Mercer) is a Spy Boss for The Agency.  Midas’ look is crisp; a vest and tie with dress shirt and pants to match.  He is heavily tattooed, with a stylish pompadour haircut.  To really recreate this look, you’ll want to go over-the-top with gold accessories and weaponry where you can find it.  Some gold body paint and gloves can help achieve the transitional appearance seen here, without requiring you to paint your entire body in metallic gold.  Scar wax can be used to create the scar over Midas’ right eye.

While there are two versions of Roxy Lalonde we went with the post-scratch version. Prior to the scratch Roxy was an adult and the mother of another character named Rose. After the scratch she is effectively her daughter’s age and joins in the adventures more fully.

There are many fan versions of Roxy that change the hair colors and other small details. For this costume, however, we’re trying to stick close to what you see on the screen. This means you’ll want a short white wig and white body paint. Then, using pink fabric paint, recreate Roxy’s pink decal on a white t-shirt. Finish off her look with a white skirt, black leggings, and white sneakers.
