Carbon Costume

Ada Wong (voiced by Courtenay Taylor in RE6) has gone through several different iterations (and outfits) since she was introduced to the Resident Evil franchise.  In RE6, she’s back with a slightly more practical look for her chosen profession.  To recreate her appearance in this version, you’ll need black leather gloves, pants, and stiletto boots, as well as a red button-down shirt left open, with the sleeves rolled and the collar popped.  A real crossbow is likely outside the budget for a costume, so stick with the pistol worn in her shoulder harness, or opt for a smaller, more toy-like version instead.

Grog Strongjaw is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Travis Willingham. He is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Grog is a goliath barbarian/fighter party member of Vox Machina. In his youth, Grog was exiled from the Herd of Storms for taking pity on a helpless old gnome the tribe was attacking. That same gnome took Grog in and raised him alongside his great-great-granddaughter, Pike Trickfoot. While adventuring with Vox Machina, he wielded the legendary Titanstone Knuckles to fight the Chroma Conclave. He forged the Prime Trammels and used the Sword of Kas in the fight against Vecna. Use the light blue paint on your face and body and the black paint stick to draw his markings. Use the white craft fur in the gauntlets and belt. Add some fake blood for effect.

Sara (voiced by Emily Brundige) appears in episodes nine and ten of Over the Garden Wall.  Sara is a classmate of Wirt.  She serves as her school mascot and both Wirt and Jason have a crush on her.  Sara’s Halloween costume is an interesting mash-up.  She wears a Nasa bomber jacket over a clown jumpsuit and her face is painted to resemble a skull.  To recreate her look, you may need to get a little creative, as an exact replica of her jumpsuit is difficult to find.  If you’re willing to be flexible, a sleeveless jumpsuit might stand in place with the jacket and collar over it to disguise the change.  Otherwise, a dark-colored onesie might work instead, or you can DIY it a little with fabric paint and a plain, light-colored jumpsuit. If you don’t want to paint your face, a skull mask can work as well.  Many of the Nasa jackets available for purchase are much more flashy than Sara’s, so a plain jacket and a few patches may be a better fit for her look.  The patches can be attached by sewing, gluing, or even using double-sided wall tape.

Crimson Countess (played by Laurie Holden) was a member of the superhero group Payback on the Amazon series The Boys.  Also a singer, Crimson Countess’ superpower is Explosive Fireball Generation and her catchphrase is “she’s the countess you can count on.”  To recreate the Countess’ look, you’ll want to focus on darker tones of red than you normally see in superhero costumes.  While full cosplay sets do exist, they can be very pricey, so if you’re willing to put in a little more effort, you can certainly get close to her onscreen look with a few simple pieces layered together.  A burgundy bodysuit is your base, over which you’ll want to layer a body harness, forearm sleeves, and high boots.  Top off the look with a red wig, shiny mask, and a cape.

In Brawl Stars, Gus is a boy who passes time in an abandoned train ride, with his balloons as his only companions. He uses them in battle too, tossing them at enemies to do damage.

Scanlan Shorthalt is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Sam Riegel. He is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Scanlan is a gnome bard party member of Vox Machina. To support his mother, he spent time travelling with a troupe of performers. In these travels, he had an unknown daughter. When he joined Vox Machina, he came to possess Mythcarver, a legendary sword that helped the group fight the Chroma Conclave. Upon meeting his daughter, he left the party. Scanlan returned later on, earning the blessing of Ioun to become its champion. Scanlan is known for his poorly timed, inappropriate remarks and songs.

This secondary version of Kite shows up later in the Hunter x Hunter series, and is voiced in Japanese by Uki Satake, and in English by Laura Stahl.

They are a reborn version of the hunter named Kite, and proceeded to continue going by that name, even in a new form. Due to how they were born in this form, they are technically the younger twin of the King of the Chimera Ants, Meruem.

Kite has very long wine red hair that hangs in their face, a large spread of freckles, and identical vibrant pinkish-purple eyes that match their older brother’s. The outfit that they wear is very simple, similar in style rather than color to what Kite wore as a human, and is just a plain black turtle neck, black pants, and brown nondescript shoes.

In the adventure game Stray, Momo is a Companion Robot and a member of the Outsiders. Momo resides in an apartment in the Slums, where he’s lonely and depressed, only a TV with poor signal to keep him company. His long Hawaiian shirt may be a reference to Max Payne, who often wore tropical shirts even in the snow.

Koku (voiced in Japanese by Yuki Kaji and in English by Kyle McCarley) is one of the main protagonists of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.

He is a very multifaceted character, starting off the series as a very quiet person, as we learn more about him and the lengths he’ll go to to reunite with Yuna, his quiet and personable demeanor falls away to reveal his murderous tendencies and god abilities.

His appearance does change a fair amount throughout the series, but this specific one I’ve focused on his how he looks later into season one, with messy blackish-blue hair, and two toned eyes, one greyish brown, the other a vibrant slitted blue, and impressive black wings sprouting from his back.

Koku’s outfit in this form is a bit simple, and also damaged, he has a low neck dark blue shirt, blue jeans, a pair of black boots, a brown belt, and a black jacket with front pockets.

Leslie Withers (voiced in Japanese by Kengo Kawanishi and in English by Aaron Landon) is one of the secondary yet key characters in the horror game The Evil Within/Psycho Break.

He is a trauma patient at Beacon Mental Hospital, and is the only person out of the group that gets dragged into STEM that is compatible with Ruvik’s mental transference studies enough to potentially be his new vessel.

Leslie is very pale, possibly due to albinism, and as such has nearly colorless eyes, as well as pale platinum blonde hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. He’s covered in a variety of wounds and skin irritations, some of which could be self-inflicted, or part of the abuse he went through at the hands of the doctors he was in the care of.

The outfit he wears throughout the game is the standard Beacon patient wear, with a greyish white long sleeved straightjacket type shirt that has the Beacon logo on the chest, as well as matching strapped pants. They are both excessively dirty, possibly with a combination of dirt and blood.
