Carbon Costume

Rex Salazar (voiced by Daryl Sabara) is the main character of the TV series Generator Rex. Rex is a teenager with the ability to grow machines and weapons from his body at will because of the nanites in his body. Rex is an Exponentially Variegated Organism (EVO), and has the power to heal other EVOs when they are injured. Rex’s outfit consists of a red and gold moto jacket, and black pants with blue geometric details that glow blue-white when he uses his powers. To replicate this effect, you could use glow in the dark fabric paint to create the designs, so they will stand out in the dark. Likewise, a red and gold moto jacket may be difficult come by, but you could experiment with some gold leather paint on a red and white jacket if you’re feeling crafty.

John Paul Mercer (voiced by Michael Croner) – known as J.P. to his friends – is the oldest kid on the show Craig of the Creek. But being the oldest doesn’t make him the leader. In fact J.P. seems happiest going with the flow that his friends set. He’s loyal and kind-hearted, always quick to help those in need and capable of easily make friends.

Cosplaying as J.P. requires a little bit of DIY. His signature orange hair can be recreated with a wig but his hockey jersey is a different story. To replicate it you will need to buy a plain orange hockey jersey and then use white fabric to add the band around the abdomen and the smaller bands around the arms.

J.P.’s tan jeans will also require a little bit of DIY since his rough and tumblr brand of fun has worn a hole in the right knee and left them a bit dirty. Once that hole is in place, though, your outfit just needs a pair of black sneakers to be complete!

Kelsey Pokoly (voiced first by Georgina Cordova and then later by Noel Wells) is the smallest and possibly youngest member of the main gang on Craig of the Creek. She is a very dramatic child with a love of books and a wild imagination that fuels her adventures.

Kelsey’s cosplay requires just a little bit of DIY but is fairly straight-forward. Pink shorts, blue rain boots, a dark blue cape, and a pet budgie are the easy-to-gather parts of the costume. A red wig will replicate her hair but it will have to be styled in a bun that sits at the back of the head.

Her shirt is where the DIY really comes in though. The chest of Kelsey’s shirt is taken up by a large, pale heart. This can be recreated on a light blue or light teal shirt with a bleach pen. Once that’s done, the costume is ready to go!

Izzy (voiced by Katie Crown) is one of the more dynamic members of the Total Drama Island cast. She is high-strung and kind-hearted with a trusting and competitive nature.

She’s also very in tune with nature so her costume reflects that. She keeps her hair loose and wild. A green crop top, green shorts, and light green wrap make up most of her outfit. She also wears green slip-on shoes and a green wrap bracelet on one wrist.

Elroy Jetson (voiced by Daws Butler) is the youngest member of The Jetsons family.  He is the brother of Judy, and the son of Jane and George.  Elroy wears a green baseball cap and green overalls, with an oversized red collar.

On The Jetsons, Jane Jetson (voiced by Penny Singleton) is the wife of George, and the wife of Judy and Elroy.  However, Rosie the Robot performs most of the household duties, which frees Jane’s time up and allows her to focus on her love of fashion and gadgetry.  Jane wears a futuristic purple dress with pearl earrings.

Sierra (voiced by Annick Obonsawin) is the biggest Total Drama fan of all time. She runs blogs for each of the contestants and knows everything there is to know about each of them. So when she gets an opportunity to be on the show she jumps at the chance.

Her costume is pretty static throughout the show. It consists of purple hair, a green choker with a gold pendant, a yellow tube top, light jeans, a white belt, and green ballet flats with ankle ribbons. Her trusty cell phone is also never far away she can blog all of her adventures!

In the anime Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Ami Onuki (voiced by Janice Kawaye) is the brighter and more optimistic half of pop duo Puffy AmiYumi, along with Yumi Yoshimura. A lover of all things girly including rainbows, bunnies, and sparkles, Ami is also a talented drummer. To get the details right, you could use pink iron on patches to create the colorblock effect of Ami’s yellow dress, and don’t forget to style your wig with her signature space buns.
