Carbon Costume

Dr. D. Light is a character from the horror game It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement.  Dr. D. Light tries to help Embry, who has told their friends and neighbors that their parents are very ill.  What he comes to discover, however, is a much darker secret involving a monster in Embry’s basement.  Dr. D. Light’s appearance is based heavily on those of a medieval plague doctor.  The simplest way to recreate his look is to purchase a plague doctor costume set, which will come with a hat, hood, gloves, and a long jacket with a cowl.  Replace the plague mask with a round white mask. With a little paint, some markers, and a dose of creativity, you can alter the mask to look more like the one from the game.  Lastly, use a sun-shaped charm and jewelry cord to make the Doctor’s necklace.

Sammy Lawrence (voiced by Aaron Landon) was a musician and composer for cartoons including those starring Bendy and Alice Angel who became addicted to ink bottles in Bendy and the Ink Machine.  Sammy becomes a monster dipped in ink, his mortal appearance lost to time and memory.  To recreate Sammy’s monstrous appearance, you’ll need a black body suit with a wet look and black boots layered under yellow pants and suspenders.  You can also add details to the pants with black fabric paint.  You may opt to wear a Bendy mask as well (maybe even distress it a little beforehand to make it a little creepier) or carry a foam axe with you as a prop.

Alice Angel (voiced in part by Alanna Linayre playing her original voice actress) is a character from Bendy and the Ink Machine.  The first female character created by her animation studio, Alice’s popularity was on par with other well-known characters including Bendy and Boris.  There are two ways to go about recreating Alice’s look, which will determine which supplies or accessories you may need.  If you choose to simply dress as her, you won’t have to worry about body paint and can choose a pair of sheer thigh-high stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels.  If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights.  Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo.  Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye.  For an extra bit of authenticity, a fabric marker can be used to add black circles to the palms of your gloves.

In the adventure game Stray, Momo is a Companion Robot and a member of the Outsiders. Momo resides in an apartment in the Slums, where he’s lonely and depressed, only a TV with poor signal to keep him company. His long Hawaiian shirt may be a reference to Max Payne, who often wore tropical shirts even in the snow.

Willow is one of the selectable characters in the survival horror game Don’t Starve/Don’t Starve Together, and was the second ever unlockable character in the base game.

It was originally thought that she was just an unconnected character, but during the latest lore update short, it was revealed that the Constant’s local arsonist had a lot more to do with the story than we previously were aware of. Willow is in her early 20’s, has a history of arson and pyromaniacal tendencies stemming from when she was in an orphanage as a child, and she can usually be found carrying both her lighter or some other type of flame device, as well as her old and damaged teddy, Bernie (Any bear plush works, I just thought that one would be very funny).

Willow has long black hair tied into two up-flipped pigtails, a white button up shirt, a red sweater, a black skirt, black tights, and black heeled shoes with pointed toe tips.
