Carbon Costume

Shovel Knight might not be the tallest fighter on the field. But if his enemies underestimate him, that’s their problem. Literally. Armed with his trusty shovel blade and guided by the code of Shovelry he is almost always the last one standing when the battle is over.

Taking on the Shovel Knight’s helm requires a little bit of DIY. You’ll need to get a set of costume armor, some spray paint, painter’s tape, super glue, and large fake horns.

Paint the armor blue then – when it’s fully cured – use the painter’s tape and whatever newspaper you have lying around to cover up the majority of the armor. Then use the yellow spray paint to put on the edging details. That includes a ring of yellow around the seal where you have glued the horns to your helmet after removing them from their original helmet.

Finally grab a trust shovel and head to battle! An actual shovel may violate the rules of some cons, however. In those cases you can follow a tutorial like this one to make one that is safe to take into the venue.

In Dark Souls, the Soul of Cinder is a being made up of all previous lords of Cinder. This not only makes it incredibly hard to beat but also terrifying to behold. Getting the exact look takes some painting skill and possibly wearable pyrotechnics (which we really don’t recommend).  But we’ve found pieces that will get you close!

To start you’ll want a black compression shirt and compression pants. They’re tight fitting and breathable so your clothes won’t get twisted up under your armor and you won’t overheat too quickly. On top of that you’ll want a set of knight’s armor, though we recommend plastic over metal for ease of movement. You’ll also need a set of swords to deal with the challengers you’re sure to encounter. If you’ve got a bit of extra money to spend you can get a Cinder replica helmet. They aren’t easily affordable, however, and with some paint a standard knight helmet should do the trick. And finally a can of chalky gray spray paint topped with an oxidizing effects paint kit should help give your armor the eternally burned look Soul of Cinder is known for.

King Arthur is the main character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a comedy spoof of the Arthurian legend acted out and written by the comedy troupe, Monty Python. The king, played by Graham Chapman and his squire, Patsy, travel throughout England searching for people to join the Knights of the Round Table. He recruits men such as Sir Bedevere the Wise and Sir Lancelot the Brave on his quest. Arthur intends to lead the men to Camelot, but after a musical number, he decides against it. Then he is visited by God, who gives him the task to find the Holy Grail.

In Disenchantment, Sir Pendergast is a Knight of the Zog Table. He seems to be their leader, carelessly sending other knights like Mortimer the Expendable to their deaths. Sir Pendergast has fulfilled quests for King Zog and Princess Bean, including retrieving Elfo’s fake girlfriend.
