nimona

Nimona from Nimona (2023)

Nimona (voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz) is the titular young sidekick of the Netflix adaptation of ND Stevenson’s comic of the same name.  Nimona is a shapeshifter and sidekick to Ballister Boldheart, who is framed for Queen Valerin’s murder.  Nimona can take the form of many animals, but she most often appears as a young human girl.  As a human, Nimona wears brown boots and silver armor beneath a red vest, skirt, and belt.  To recreate her armored shorts, cut a pair of shiny silver leggings to fit.  Then, layer a burgundy skirt and brown belt overtop.  For the rest of her costume, use a brown short-sleeved turtleneck, layer a red tunic over it, and add dragon-scale epaulets to emulate her armor.  You’ll also need to style a short ginger wig and use brown wrappings around your forearms and hands.

spot from across the spider-verse

Spot from Across the Spider-Verse

Spot (voiced by Jason Schwartzman) is the primary antagonist of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.  Once a scientist at Alchemax named Dr. Johnathan Ohnn, Spot’s mutated appearance is the result of Spider-Man destroying Kingpin‘s Super-Collider in the first film of the series.  Spot begins as a comedic villain, but eventually, his determination to destroy Miles’ life turns him into something much more sinister.  To recreate Spot’s villainous appearance, you’ll need to start with a full white bodysuit and matching shoes.  Then, add splotches of black to the costume using fabric paint.  You can paint them on with brushes and/or add them with a dimensional paint using the plastic tip, depending on your preference.  Make sure you leave plenty of time for the paint to dry before you intend to wear your costume.

Posey from Living Dead Dolls

Posey is from the first run of Living Dead Dolls, and is labeled as a ‘buried alive’ character.

She has extremely long golden-auburn hair worn in a mid-part, fully whited out eyes with blue ringing them and matching lipstick, and a wound over her eye. Her outfit is similar to an old styled nightgown, but weathered in a way that looks like it was saturated in mud. Her doll accessory is a single white rose.

Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist

Riza (voiced in Japanese by Michiko Neya [2003] and Fumiko Orikasa [2009], and in English by Colleen Clinkenbeard [Funimation Dub] and Muriel Hofmann [Animax Dub]) is a major character in the Fullmetal Alchemist series.

She is Roy Mustang’s closest confidant and personal bodyguard, as well as the military’s best sharpshooter specialist, in addition to her rank as Lieutenant. She also has a pet dog named Black Hayate that she acquired after he was brought in by Fuery, being the only one suitable in the crew for taking care of him.

Riza has long, golden hair, usually worn up in the back with a flat brown clip, and her eyes are a deep chocolatey brown. She also wears silver stud earrings. The main outfit we see her in is a rank-specific Amestrian military uniform, all in that shade of medium blue, with silver detailing everywhere. She also wears black, shin-high boots, and is generally seen carrying some sort of firearm (she has a few, up to you which one would work best for your cosplay purposes, please keep in mind that cons generally have peace-bonding restrictions on prop guns!).

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Homura (voiced in Japanese by Chiwa Saito and in English by Cristina Valenzuela) is one of the major main characters in the anime/manga series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

She is a very diversely written character, treading a fine line between being the protagonist and technically being the villain, due to the constant wearing down on her mental state from every new time iteration she goes through to keep Madoka safe. For this one, I’ve chosen to do her main magical girl outfit.

Homura has very long black hair, that she wears a dark headband on, and greyish purple eyes. Her magical girl outfit consists of a white, grey, and black top with a purple ribbon on the neck, a grey and white skirt, and black tights with purple diamonds down the sides, which lead into a sort of high-heel end (I included some flats if you want it to blend in better with the tights, but high heels of choice are also an option). She also carries her reality warping shield while in combat.
