Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch impressionist painter, and is probably one of the most famous artists of all time. His style emphasized vibrant colors and brushwork. His most famous works include his multitude of self portraits, and of course, Starry Night. Although his popularity came after his death, and while alive, Van Gogh was struggled with both poverty and mental illness. Tony Curran played the artist in an episode of Doctor Who titled “Vincent and The Doctor.”
Two-Bit Matthews from The Outsiders
Goofy, lighthearted Two-Bit (brought to life onscreen by Emilio Estavez) is the ray of sunshine in the lives of Ponyboy Curtis and his friends, the titular Outsiders in S.E. Hinton’s breakthrough novel. When you’re constantly marginalized by the upper-crust Socs (pronounced so-sihez) on the other side of the tracks, sometimes a little humor is just what’s needed to get through a bad situation. Two-Bit is every bit as Greaser as the rest of his friends (although one might argue that Dallas outdoes the lot of them), but he lends a whimisical touch to his “tuff” getup with a Mickey Mouse T-shirt.
Inosuke Hashibira from Demon Slayer
Inosuke Hashibira is a main character in the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. He is another member of the Demon Slayer Corps who accompanies Tanjiro and Zenitsu on their journey. Despite his impressive fighting abilities, he has a short temper. He is extremely aggressive, constantly instigating fights with everyone. Sometimes he overestimates his fighting abilities, which gets him into trouble. Under his boar mask, he has a very pretty and feminine face.
Houtarou from Hyouka
Houtarou Oreki is a student at Kamiyama High School, and doesn’t like to waste energy. If he doesn’t have to do something, he won’t. If he does have to do something, he’ll make it quick. That could be one reason why his deduction skills are so great. The most energy Houtarou spends these days is participating in Classic Literature Club as he helps his curious classmate Eru. Houtarou helps uncover Eru’s curiousities in Hyouka.
Germany from Hetalia
Ludwig Beilschmidt, also known as Germany, is a main character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. He is the leader of the Axis Powers, thus commanding Italy and Japan. He is a no-nonsense individual who always abides by the rules. He constantly yells at Italy for wandering off, but he does care about him. His brother is Prussia. Use the hair gel in this guide to slick back the wig.
Callum from The Dragon Prince
Thoughtful and earnest, Callum (Jack De Sena) is the older half-brother of Katolis’s crowned prince Ezran. Despite implicitly troublesome early years, Callum lives a comfortable life in the castle of his step-father, the king, and hones his skills as an artist (or lack thereof) and a swordsman. For centuries, Katolis has warred with the neighboring kingdom of Xadia, which is ruled by dragons. When Callum and Ezran accidentally discover the unhatched egg of Xadia’s Dragon Prince, they embark together on a peacekeeping mission to return the baby dragon to its mother.
Throughout the series, he becomes the first human to ever wield primal magic on his own. He is in a relationship with Rayla. Jack De Sena voices this character. You may recognize him as the voice of Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Rudy from Papa Louie
Depending on which game you play, Rudy is either a Closer or a chef in Papa Louie’s kitchen. Outside of work he likes to rock hard and satisfy his sweet tooth.
Rudy’s outfit outside of work really reflects his preference for rock music. A bald cap and fake mohawk give you his hair style while white sunglasses and a black belt are his only accessories. His black overshirt has jagged edges where the sleeves have been ripped at the elbow and blue spades on either upper arm that can be added with dark blue felt cut into shape and either pinned or glued in place. His undershirt is dark blue with a black spade on the chest that you can apply with fabric paint. Finally white jeans and black converse with blue laces round out the outfit.
For added accessories you can always grab a bass guitar (if you have one) or a bear claw from the nearest bakery. They are his favorites, after all!
Marcus from Deadly Class
Marcus Lopez Arguello, played by Benjamin Wadsworth, is living on the streets until he is recruited into the elite academy called King’s Dominion. Master Lin didn’t convince him to enroll at first, but Marcus eventually gives the academy a chance. Now, his classmates are the children of the world’s top criminals, assassins, and spies. Marcus has a dark past filled with grief, and learned to survive on his own. In the academy, he discovers people are not much different from his previous experiences. Marcus learns to help himself, and stand up for others like him, in Deadly Class.
Petyr from What We Do in the Shadows
Petyr (Ben Fransham) is a main character in What We Do in the Shadows, a horror mockumentary about the lives of four vampires. According to Viago, he is 8000 years old. He resembles Nosferatu, making him the most terrifying out of the group. He sleeps downstairs in a stone coffin, and he hates to be disturbed. He turned Deacon into a vampire, and in the movie, he turns Nick into a vampire. Petyr prefers remains silent, but he is definitely judging you. Use black eyeshadow around your eyes and on your cheeks for the perfect gaunt look. For added detail, you can use a darker gray or blue to make the veins on his head.
