Carbon Costume

Malaria (voiced by Jeannie Elias) is a gothic woman who fell in love with Grim on an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy before realizing he was the actual Grim Reaper and running away.  Malaria and Grim meet when he goes to the beach with Billy and Mandy.  Malaria wears black opera gloves and a long black strapless dress.  She uses an umbrella at the beach and wears purple eye shadow and red lipstick.

Voiced by Estelle, Garnet has been a Steven Universe staple from the show’s beginning. Now that Steven is grown in the Steven Universe series, she is still an important part of his life and the series at large.

It makes sense that cosplaying such a key character would take a little more DIY than most. In this case, getting Garnet’s specific look requires some fabric paint, a white blouse, and acrylic paint to add details to the shoes. The top requires a light pink, a bubblegum pink, a hot pink, and a bright purple for the upper portion and the sleeves. Dark blue and a darker purple are needed for the bottom of the shirt.

Dark blue pants and shoes knock out most of the rest of her outfit while dark pink acrylic paint adds the detail to the toe of the shoes. After that all you need is a black wig and a pair of Garnet glasses.

Chef Hatchet is a supporting character in the Total Drama series. He is the chef of the show, but he isn’t really known for his fine cuisine. Just like the show’s host, Chris McLean, he finds joy in tormenting the campers. Chef Hatchet will sometimes wear ridiculous costumes in accordance with the challenge or theme of the episode.

Mysterion (voiced by Matt Stone) is the secret vigilante identity of Kenny McCormick on the adult cartoon series South Park.  Recreating Mysterion’s look might take a little preparation and effort, but it will make for a kickass costume once complete.  First, you’ll need to find a question mark headband.  It’s difficult to find one in green, so get the lightest shade possible and paint over it instead.  Use the same paint to adorn the front of your light purple jumpsuit with a capital ‘M.’  Cut a hole large enough to fit the question mark through the top of your hood (since these headbands are sold in a two-pack, you can paint one and use the other to measure the hole).  Then, once the headband is dry, put on your black eye mask first, then the question mark headband, and carefully slip the hood over top.  After that, all that’s left is to layer the white briefs and belt over your jumpsuit, pull on your boots and gloves, and dash off to keep the citizens of South Park safe!

Chris McLean is a main character in the Cartoon Network series, Total Drama Island. He is the host of the show, where he puts campers to the test for a cash prize. An overwhelming narcissist, Chris only cares about himself, and harbors little concern for the safety of the contestants. He derives pleasure from the torment of the challenges, and he grows more sadistic with each season. And yet outfit remains the same, with a laidback, island feel. Use the brown eyeshadow to create his five-o’clock shadow.

Blackfire is a character in Teen Titans. Also known by her real name, Komand’r, she is the eldest princess and daughter of the King and Queen of Tamaran. Her younger siblings are Starfire and Wildfire. Unlike the bright and cheerful Starfire, she is secretly a villain. Cunning and remorseless, she fakes kindness to earn the trust and respect of the Teen Titans. In reality, she wants to exact revenge upon her little sister, thus becoming more powerful than her. Ultimately, Blackfire wants to rule as a tyrannical Empress of Tamaran.

In the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island, Beth (voiced by Sarah Gadon) is a member of the Screaming Gophers along with other contestants including Trent, Gwen, Justin, among others.  Beth was raised on a farm with mostly animals for company and as a result, she doesn’t have the best social skills.  She wears pink pants, a green shirt tied in a knot at one hip, and a vest with pins to decorate it.

Eva (voiced by Julia Chantrey) is a competitive character on the animated series Total Drama Island.  With her physical strength and aggressive attitude, she’s a fierce competitor on the Killer Bass team.  Though Eva originally has trouble reining in her temper, she eventually enrolls in anger management classes and becomes closer with Gwen.  Eva’s workout clothing leans into a blue color palette, and she wears her hair in a ponytail.  Don’t forget a little eyeliner to fill in your eyebrows and draw on Eva’s signature beauty mark.
