Carbon Costume

…sn’t mean she doesn’t have her breaking point or that she doesn’t feel deeply for her people, and for Korra most of all. Asami is fashion-forward and has several looks throughout the series. But her formal look is one of her most striking and it is one that can be replicated with just a little DIY. A high-collared sleeveless red gown can be altered with just a few snips at the neckline to create the keyhole in the chest and the curved angle of col…

…the right track, though you can opt for face paint if the mask will be too warm. A shoulder cowl, a pair of scissors – to cut off the hood and create the V at the bottom – , some fabric glue, and orange fabric paint creates the iconic top detailing. It’s a bit of a DIY project but it layers easily over a versatile black long-sleeve pullover sweatshirt. Finish off with a pair of jeans, some shoe covers in the style of brown boots, and a farming ho…

…) is probably one of the best-named characters in the world of Mario. A rabbit who nabs things, Nabbit slips into Toad houses and makes off with their things, though his heavy bag usually gets in his way. He might not be the nicest guy but he’s still a fun playable character in certain games and he makes for a great costume. Creating a Nabbit cosplay takes a little bit of DIY. The first step is to glue two white felt circles to the front edge of t…

…on Ranger’s bow! Cosplaying Zarya takes a little bit of patience and a fairly steady painting hand. Her blue hair can be copied with a wig while boot toppers and gauntlet gloves come close to her look. To get her top, however, you’ll need a light blue shirt as well as dark blue, white, and gold fabric paint. The paint serves to add in the various designs of her shirt as well as the main portion of her belt. The same paint decorates dark blue leggi…

…ll at Once. Deirdre is a bit of a stick in the mud and puts pressure on Evelyn and Waymond Wang when she audits their laundromat. Deirdre becomes an enemy of Evelyn when another version from a different universe who is loyal to Jobu Tupaki jumps into her consciousness. Deirdre has a blunt haircut and wears a gold turtleneck and grey trousers with a yellow vest over top. To get the colors to match more closely, you can cut the arms off a yellow cro…

…iam is a caring and loyal friend with a laidback attitude. Along with Abby Park and Priya Mangal, Miriam helps Mei navigate her newly upturned life after she begins transforming into a red panda. Miriam is a bit of a tomboy and wears clothes that would make any skater feel comfortable. She dons shades of green in nearly every aspect of her clothing, from her beanie to her flannel and accessories….

…wise, if you’d like to create extra arms–Ranni has four–you can follow a tutorial like this one if you’re feeling a bit crafty….

…ki, to varying degrees of love for each. Haru has split toned hair, naturally occurring, with the under layer being black and the top a shaggy white, and his eyes are a soft golden-brown, almost orange, color. We see this outfit when he’s out biking, it’s a bit more covered than some of his others. It consists of his usual piercings, a metal feather necklace, a black turtleneck, black pants, black biking boots, thigh straps, a greyish belt, and an…

…greater physical strength. He trained throughout his childhood and eventually participated in the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Kazuya’s general appearance has remained mostly unchanged throughout the series. He wears white martial arts pants, and red martial arts gloves and shoes. If you want the silver studs to be part of your costume, you can cut the fingertips off a pair of motorcycle gloves instead of using a fingerless sparring set. In later…

…on’t be a large feature of character backstory for this article, as I’ve only played the first one and the sequel is available on consoles not available in my region. Will update later once I’m able to acquire a copy! Going on to the actual cosplay though: Ashley has short white hair, and her eyes are a bit of a difficult color to pin down due to the sprite work, but I put in a dark grey that should work. She wears a red-orange baseball style crop…
