Carbon Costume

Trent (voiced by Scott McCord) is a member of team Screaming Gophers in the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island.  Some of Trent’s teammates include Gwen, Cody, Heather, Lindsay, and Owen.  Trent is a relatively laidback contestant and a straight-A student who becomes close with Gwen early on in the competition.  Trent’s costume includes black jeans, green sneakers, and a camouflage long sleeved shirt.  To make the green t-shirt he layers on top, don’t be afraid to get a little messy and tap into your childhood artistry by painting your hand with black fabric paint and pressing the design onto your shirt.  Just be sure to allow plenty of time for it dry before you have to wear it!

Hannah Marie is a character in the Scary Godmother books and movies. The children’s books were written and illustrated by Jill Thompson. Hannah is the protagonist of the series. On Halloween, her older cousin, Jimmy, takes her trick-or-treating. Yet Jimmy plays a mean prank and locks her in a haunted house. As Hannah begins to cry, Scary Godmother comes to comfort her. She invites Hannah to Frightside, an alternate dimension fueled by Halloween magic. At first, she’s scared of the monsters, but she quickly befriends them. Hannah becomes particularly close to Scary Godmother, Bugaboo, and Orson. While also sweet-natured and friendly, Hannah grows into a brave, assertive, and admirable character. This costume guide features her Fairy Princess/Queen costume seen in both movies.

Courtney isn’t what you probably think of when you imagine someone on a reality TV show. Voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow for most of the show (Rochelle Wilson voiced Courtney in two episodes), it quickly becomes clear that Courtney is in it to win it and that she has big plans for the prize money. Unfortunately that leaves her little room for patience with other contestants. Especially Duncan. Or so she claims.

Courtney’s style is thankfully not as high maintenance as she is and it makes for a great closet cosplay. A grey sweater matches grey gladiator sandals which coordinate with green capris and a white button down shirt worn under the grey sweater and cuffed at the elbows. A brown bobbed wig – or your own brown bob – finish off the look.

Orson is a character in the Scary Godmother books and movies. The children’s books were written and illustrated by Jill Thompson. As the son of vampire Count Max and Countess Ruby, he is the prince of the night. However, he’s often embarrassed by his parents’ outdated ways, and prefers modern culture. He’s nerdy and shy, but he also likes creepy things, as all vampires do. Orson is very curious about the human world, and would rather know more about them than drink their blood. For instance, he shows affection towards Hannah, his first human friend — and maybe his first crush.

Tyler (voiced by Peter Oldring) started out a member of the killer bass. Somehow both sporty and accident-prone, he’s quick to take on the physical challenges but isn’t quite up to the games Heather has running in the background of the competition.

Cosplaying as Tyler is both easy and comfortable. You can either use your own hair or grab a brown wig to copy his look before adding a red and white sweatband over whatever you choose. After that all you need is a red tracksuit and a pair of white sneakers and you’re all set!

Jimmy is a character in the Scary Godmother books and movies. The children’s books were written and illustrated by Jill Thompson. Jimmy is Hannah’s older cousin as well as the main antagonist of the series. His hobbies include making fun of Hannah and bossing his friends around. Because he doesn’t believe monsters exist, he insists he’s not afraid of them. Although he is very frightened of the monster underneath the bed named Bugaboo. In the sequel, Jimmy tries to get revenge by ruining Halloween. For instance he robs a store of candy and destroys the pumpkins in the patch. In the end, the two cousins make peace, and Hannah lets Jimmy to break open Scary Godmother’s pumpkin container.

Cody (voiced by Peter Oldring) likes to think of himself as a ladies man. The ladies on the island, however, beg to differ. Still Cody has his own kind of charm. Tech-savvy and eager to help his teammates, he is a great asset to the Screaming Gophers until he has to leave the island, not to return to the competition until Total Drama World Tour.

Cosplaying as Cody is a great opportunity to use stuff you might already have in your closet. And if you don’t have the items, you can easily transition your new purchases into other cosplays or your daily wardrobe. A short sleeve yellow polo, grey long sleeve shirt, cargo jeans, and a pair of brown sneakers make up Cody’s outfit. You can add the stripes on his shirt with fabric paint. And if you want to get his messy hairstyle, you can either opt for a wig or style your own in a similar fashion.

Omar (voiced by Zeno Robinson) is a character on the Cartoon Network animated series Craig of the Creek.  Once known as the Green Poncho, Omar protected the Overpass.  Eventually, he joined the Stump Kids.  Omar is friends with Craig Williams.  Omar’s Green Poncho costume consists of a large bow, sandals, and a green hooded jacket.
