Carbon Costume

Nobimaru (voiced in Japanese by Hiro Shimono and in English by Kevin K. Gomez) is a complex character from the anime Kemono Jihen, that tends to ping-pong between the main group and the kitsunes.

He is in the employ of Lady Inari, who Kon used to be a subordinate to, but also tends to show up around Kabane and his friends to give them dubious help on occasion because he rather dislikes Lady Inari despite working for her.

Nobimaru has another form that hasn’t been shown yet in the anime (manga only), as well as his fox form, but the main one we see him in is a thirteen year old boy with blonde hair and golden brown eyes. He does also have a fox tail and ears, but he hides them within his outfit, hence the ear covers.

His main outfit consists of a greenish-yellow button up shirt, a pale yellow tie, black short shorts and a matching suit jacket, long white socks held up by black sock garters, and then light brown loafers.

Vax’ildan or “Vax” is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Liam O’Brien. He is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Vax is a half-elf rogue/paladin/druid party member of Vox Machina. He is the twin brother of Vex’ahlia, born and raised in Byroden, then taken to live in the elven city of Syngorn. But neither of them were happy there, so they left together to adventure. Joining Vox Machina, he came to possess the legendary Deathwalker’s Ward and Whisper to fight the Chroma Conclave. He sacrificed his life to the Raven Queen to save his sister, but the patron brought back him life to defeat Vecna. He abandoned his mortal form to become Champion of the Raven Queen.

Alois Trancy (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is the partial main character of the second season of the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).

The second season of the anime switches around between Ciel and Alois being the primary main character, with them bouncing off each other in explosive ways. Alois also has a demon butler (Claude), but he also has an additional hand over Ciel with the entire rest of his staff also being demons.

While outwardly putting out a bratty and stubborn persona, Alois is, like Ciel, highly traumatized by the events of his past, and uses his bad behavior as a defense mechanism to protect himself.

Alois has light blonde hair about the same length as Ciel’s, light blue eyes, and one main outfit that he’s seen in throughout the series. He does have a few other costume outfits and situational ones, but this one is the one we mainly see.
He has a white button up with loose sleeves, a large decorative bow at the front, a long purple coat with a standup collar, a green vest with black detailing, a pair of black short shorts, thigh high stockings, and tall brown heeled boots with purple lacing topped with a large purple bow. Like Ciel, he also has a ring he wears, a gold one that looks like an eye, with an inset ruby.

Kon (voiced in Japanese by Yumiri Hanamori and in English by Brittany Lauda) is one of the antagonists turned mains in the anime Kemono Jihen.

She is a kitsune (fox) and used to be party of Lady Inari’s group, along with Nobimaru, but defected early on to go with Kabane and his friends, which was a much safer and happier option for her.

As a kitsune, she has some typical fox traits, including the light tan fluffy ears and tail that she hides in her hoodie, and small fangs. She has soft purple blue eyes and light blond hair tied in two low ponytails by her neck.

Her main outfit that she wears is a black striped white FOX brand hoodie with ear covers, hairclips on the edge of the hood, a black choker, black fingerless short gloves, black leggings with purple stripes crossing up them, and white sneakers with black side stripes.

Mihai Florescu (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Ono and in English by Matt Shipman) is a semi-main/semi-secondary character in the anime Kemono Jihen.

He lives in a side room at the Inugami Detective Agency, and works with the team there as the one in charge of all their tech connections and providing them with resources on the shadier side of the law. Due to being a vampire, he has had many long years studying and mastering a wide variety of skills, eventually got bored with them, and then became a game creator and tech expert because it was the one thing he could find that was always evolving and kept him entertained.

He has a very typical anime-vampire look, with chin length fluffy silvery-grey hair, pointed ears, and red eyes. The outfit he wears is extremely simple, it is just some of Inugami’s old grey sweats that he let him borrow, which ended up being just slightly too big for his frame.

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.
