Carbon Costume

Eddie Blake is not what you would call a nice man. He’s done his fair share of hero work as The Comedian and the press loves his patriotic public persona. But behind closed doors he’s not what most people would call a hero. Jeffrey Dean Morgan manages to bring a certain charm to the character in Zack Snyder’s 2009 adaptation. But it’s up to the audience how long that charm holds out. Blake is a military man and a good portion of his costume is in…

…aks in his thick Scottish accent, he either delivers cryptic messages or suggests cannibalism. He can also name a thousand different sea creatures. He wears metal fangs during combat, and he’s seen his fair share of violence. Mr. Buttons can communicate with seagulls, and he is often seen with Karl the Seagull perched on his head. Use the opaque cap over the wig to mimic his balding hairstyle….

…try a thin layer of glow-in-the-dark paint. And don’t forget to bring some gummy worms to fill out your costume (and maybe share with friends)….

…e Comics. The source that started it all. Both big screen versions of Dr. Bruttenholm share a certain style. They both like three piece suits and close-cropped goatees. Because of this there are two suits listed above. One in tweed with a more classic look and another with a sleeker, more modern look. The cane is part of the earlier look while the accessories – a leatherbound book, a rosary, and of course the goatee – are shared between both looks…

…Brady. The matriarch of a large blended family that has more than its fair share of adventures, Carol is the cool and compassionate leader when things go astray. When, that is, her kids let her in on the mischief. After all it’s not easy keeping up with six kids with appetites for adventure like the Brady kids have! Carol’s look straddles the split between the ’60s and the ’70s. She wears her hair short and usually opts for dresses over pants, tho…

…Clint Barton, where the two of them are both Hawkeye. Not to mention they share the same sarcasm and ownership of Lucky the Pizza Dog. Like Clint, she is a master archer and melee fighter. She is a member of the Young Avengers as Hawkeye in the shared Marvel Universe, where she becomes the third character, yet the first female character, to take on the title. Independent and tough minded, Kate knows how to keep a level head in high pressure situa…

…Brittany is one of the three playable characters in the Nintendo video game Pikmin 3. She works as the botanist for the crew and records notes about the fruits found on PNF-404. Her home planet is Koppai. While strong-willed, Brittany overindulges in juice, often taking more than her fair share. Craft an antenna headband and apply pink blush to complete this look….

…mber’s Jedi Meditation Chamber. People had contributed to her site and it truly was a shared knowledge base. And we made awesome Jedi costumes using the tips and hints on Amber’s site. Speaking of “found items” we also made our own lightsabers by going to a hardware store and just fitting parts together. I remember people at the story trying to “help” us, because they were confused as to why we had random pieces from different departments in the s…

…’s shelf and WIP of their new desk. Parker explains: “This shelf is a real world example of assessing my needs and addressing them in the space accordingly. It’s made from an old scrap piece of wood and some tin cans because I needed more space for my sewing notions. The structure will live on until such time it can be upgraded or it no longer serves a purpose, and it didn’t cost me a dime.” Concerning the adjacent image, Parker plans to make it a…

…nist. Subaru is transported from a convenience store in Japan to a fantasy world where he becomes a knight to the half-elf Emilia. Subaru typically wears the tracksuit he had on when he was brought to this new world, however he also has a butler’s uniform he wears while serving at the Roswaal mansion. A standard butler’s costume will help to achieve this look, especially if you take the time to carefully outline the lapels with some standard grey…
