The pants requires some DIY: sew or glue he black ribbon around either leg of the pants in a ‘V’ shape. Then paint red circles on the silver belt and black ribbon. Use the white liner to draw his scars from inner corner of your eye down your face on both sides.

Husk from Hazbin Hotel
In the YouTube series Hazbin Hotel, Husk (voiced by Mick Lauer) is a pansexual cat demon with a casino card theme. Husk is perpetually grumpy, a bit of an alcoholic, as well as a proficient gambler. Husk is friends with Charlie and Niffty, who he works with at the Happy Hotel. To create a Husk costume, you’ll first want to find a cat costume that you like and then add details do it. You can upgrade a simple cat onesie by tying or gluing red feathers to the end of the tail, as well as onto the eyebrows on the hood or on a separate mask if you’d prefer to cover your entire face.
Loners from S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Loners are the post-fallout survivors that don’t ascribe to any faction in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Set an an alternate history and taking place in the area around Chernobyl, each letter in the title stands for one faction of the society in The Zone. And of course Loners, well, work alone.
Loners have many different looks but they all follow a generally militaristic look. This means that most of the pieces for their costume are Army surplus. A tan tactical vest, tan tactical jacket, tan balaclava, camo pants, and tan combat boots make up the body of the costume. Many Loners also wear goggles and fingerless gloves. Accessories can include a gas mask and fake weapon, though be sure to check the costume weapon guidelines at any event you plan on attending!

Mickey’s clothing is often a little eccentric or over-the-top in either color or print, making him a fun character to emulate.
