Carbon Costume

Queen Frostine is the benevolent queen of Candy Land.  She is the wife of King Fudge and the mother of Princess Lolly. And though her costume appears simple, it is unique enough that getting it just right will take a little bit of DIY to bring the right details to your basic blue ballgown.

If you can find a scalloped skirt or apron to wear over your ballgown, then you don’t need the scalloped fabric. For those using the fabric, however, a little bit of double-sided tape will keep the material in place during your event or while you add safety pins for extra stability. Then when you’re done, you can remove the material the ballgown is back to a solid basic garment you can use with other cosplays!

Albert Francis Simmons (played by Keith David) is the main protagonist of the series Spawn. During his mortal life, Al was most recently working for the secret service where he was an international assassin. He was frustrated with his work and continued butting heads with the director of the CIA John Wynn. Al planned on retiring to have a more domesticated life with his wife Wanda. However, during his final mission in Botswana, he was murdered by a fellow mercenary hired by John Wynn. Al was sent to Hell in the afterlife due to his many years spent as an assassin. In Hell, he made a deal with The Devil to become a Hellspawn in exchange to see his wife again, thus becoming Spawn.

This costume may take a bit of crafting in order to have a complete look. Other materials you may need are a flat paintbrush, a piece of cardboard, painter’s tape, scissors, an awl, a sewing kit, or a hot glue gun. Firstly look up a few resource images for the white lines on spawns suit. Place cardboard on the inside of the suit to keep the fabric paint from bleeding as well as allowing the suit to stretch for more accurate line work when complete. While the paint drys, you can poke a hole big enough on the side of the skull mask in order to fit the elastic band through. You will need to measure the elastic band to fit around your hips with and extra inch or two so you seal the elastic around the mask. Once the hole is prepared and you measured your elastic, slip about 1-2 inches through the back and once it is through you can choose to either sew or hot glue it together. Wrap the elastic around and repeat the process. You will need to create a small hole on your cape to apply the biker vest extenders. Note that you will need to buy two of the decoration chains. Once all is done you have a great DIY costume for any cosplay or Halloween event!

On the Nickelodeon show Abby Hatcher, Abby (voiced by Macy Drouin) is a precocious 7-year-old girl. She uses her Fuzzly Spotter to keep track of the Fuzzlies in her family’s hotel and help them when the need it. Her best friend is Bozzly, a rabbit Fuzzly who can make himself invisible and fly. Abby’s outfit consists of a black t-shirt with a pink heart, pink skirt, and lots of orange and purple details. If you don’t have a real Fuzzly Spotter, a purple or orange wristwatch would stand in pretty well.

Viago is a main character in What We Do In The Shadows, a horror mockumentary about the lives of four vampires. His full name is Viago Von Dorna Schmarten Scheden Heimburg (né von Blitzenberg) and he is 379 years old. As suggested by his clothes, he lived in the 18th century.

Clifford DeVoe (played by Neil Sandilands) was a professor and researcher who augmented himself with a device that increased his intelligence. While his intelligence increased, however, his body began to deteriorate. This ultimately put him in a wheelchair which he altered to be a sort of base for his power.

Altering a wheelchair – particularly a power chair as DeVoe uses when he is The Thinker – is a large undertaking. So too is making the specialty headgear that makes up his costume. An easier way to cosplay him is to dress as he did before becoming The Thinker and then use a few costume cybernetic pieces to show DeVoe’s transition into being The Thinker.

The piece pictured above is technically a piece for a Borg costume which means it can be reused in other costumes as well. Otherwise all you need are dress shoes, slacks, a button up, and a tie as well as a wheelchair if you choose to cosplay that point if DeVoe’s development.
