Carbon Costume

Tiny Tina (voiced by Ashley Burch) is an NPC from the Broderlands game franchise who’s received her own game in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.  Tiny Tina is a teenage explosives expert with an eccentric look to match.  To recreate her costume, you’ll need a little patience and plenty of layering.  Starting with your main outfit, you’ll want to put a brown tank top and skirt over your pink counterparts.  Don’t be afraid to distress the brown skirt a little to get closer to her look.  She also wears a pair of asymmetrical brown knickers and mismatched shoes.  To match the look of her lower body, wear a baggy white sock on one foot and put two pink legwarmers on the other side to make it appear thicker.  Tiny Tina also wears an arm sleeve on her right side and an orange bandana around her neck, as well as plenty of sloppily placed bandages.  Top the look off with a pink wizard hat and bunny ears.  Though they won’t completely match the creepy rabbit head she wears in the game, you can cut slits into the hat for the ears so they stand to their fullest height.

Handsome Jack (voiced by Dameon Clarke) is one of the antagonists in Gearbox Software’s hit franchise Borderlands. He is charasmatic, engaging, and thoroughly evil. Of course everyone loves a good villain and Handsome Jack is no exception. Of course it helps that he is modeled after two other fan favorite characters: Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Mal from Firefly. Neither man would get along with Handsome Jack, unless of course we’re talking about their style.

There are two keys to getting Handsome Jack’s look: His mask and his layers.

You can buy a premade mask on Etsy. Or, if you want something more pliable, you can use face paint to recreate the look of his mask.

His layers are a little bit easier. Start with a long-sleeve yellow shirt and add a long white collared overshirt on top. Then put on a brown leather vest and finally a short blue coat. Once all that is in place you can finish off the clothes with black jeans and a brown belt with a large buckle, brown sneakers, and a large digital watch. The finishing touch, a brown wig, will have you set to hatch your own schemes in no time.
