…like Pris, Zhora, and Rachael. Unfortunately for him, soldier replicants only have a four-year lifespan. It is this injustice that brings him back to Earth and pushes him to try any means necessary to extend his life. He’s one of sci-fi’s most enduring antiheroes and is almost more a fan favorite than the the movie’s hero, Deckard. Roy’s costume is simple but pulling it off takes a little bit of work. There are two iconic parts to his look: his wh…

…Then things get a little messy. Copying Greef Karga’s look takes a little bit of work. Most Star Wars costumes aren’t easy to recreate from your typical closet and Karga’s is no different. You can get close, though. Brown leather pants and a light brown undershirt set up your base layers. Over that you’ll want to add a brown leather vest and a brown leather tunic-style coat. Over the waist of your pants you’ll want to add brown fabric for a belt…

…really. He was Crossbones. Copying Crossbones’ look will require a little bit of DIY. This will mostly involve painting a black X onto the front of a chest protector and adding the skull details to a black hard mask. You will also need to add the ammunition to some should pads to recreate Crossbones’ armed-to-the-teeth look. Under it all you should wear a black compression shirt and utility pants as well as black combat boots. A thigh holster, co…

…In The Last of Us, Tess works with Joel to make a living as smugglers. They’re partners, and maybe a bit more. For this costume, you’ll have to cut the sleeves and distress the jeans yourself — but hopefully not by running from zombies….

…e that is bound to do the will of SCP-049. Although SCP-049 is itself largely unknowable – since getting too close can turn you into an undead puppet – dressing up as SCP-049 is relatively easy. All you need is a black hooded cloak or robe, a grey plague doctor mask, black boots, and black gloves. It helps if you make the sleeves of the robe a bit tattered and if you wear black clothing underneath so it seems as if there is nothing under the robe…

…stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels. If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights. Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo. Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye.

He owns and operates a pub as a cover for being the go-between for assassins and their hits, and is the one that provides Kazuki and Rei with their jobs. Kyutaro has a fairly unassuming appearance, with brown eyes and light mousey brown hair (the wig may need a bit of down-styling), and wears brown rectangle framed glasses. His usual outfit we s…

…gency, Akutagawa has been assigned to work with Atsushi under the title of Shin Soukoku (New Double Black). Neither of them are very happy with this, but they’re figuring it out. Much like Atsushi, Akutagawa has rough, choppy hair, though his is pure black with white tips at the ends of the front bits. His eyes are a cool grey. The outfit that he has is a bit special in terms of composition. While the base layer is a simple fancy ruffled shirt, bl…

…nd The Twins try to hunt down the person responsible to save their own limbs. Tangerine wears a blue pinstriped three-piece suit and plenty of gold jewelry, including a St. Christopher medal which he bestows on Lemon later in the film. His vintage Rolex is a bit steep in price, but a vintage-inspired rectangular-faced watch will do the trick. If you aren’t prepared to grow out a ‘stache of your own, a little spirit gum and the right fake one will…
