Carbon Costume

Aya is the main playable character of the 2012 RPGMaker pixel horror game, Mad Father.

She gets thrown headfirst into running from test subjects roaming around her family’s home, due to her father’s experiments, which leads her to meet Robin, starting her on the path to figuring out the truth about what’s been going on.

Aya has long black hair, worn in a hime cut, and tie back slightly with a large pink bow, and blue eyes. She wears a blue dress with a white collar and cuffs, and puffed sleeves, with a white apron over top and a fluffy white petticoat underneath. Her shoes are brown, lace up boots, and she wears a golden necklace.

Viola is the main playable character in the 2012 RPG Maker pixel horror game, The Witch’s House.

She is described as being very trusting, much to her downfall, as Ellen takes advantage of that to live a better life through her.

Viola has golden blonde hair, worn down in two loose braids, tied at the ends by red ribbons, and her eyes are a dull green. She wears a full-skirted blue dress with a red trim along the base, a white full coverage apron with a large white bow in the back, and brown open-top boots.

Clive (voiced in Japanese by Yuri Lowenthal and in English by Shun Oguri) is the main antagonist of the video game Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

He pretended to be a future version of Hershel Layton’s apprentice, Luke Triton, in order to make it seem like there really were time shenanigans going on, to trick them.

Due to his appearance faking, he mostly just looks like an older Luke, with similar light brown hair, and a blue newsboy cap. He wears a white button up shirt with a grey-brown vest and blue tie over top, a light blue suit jacket, brown shorts, dark blue tube socks, and brownish-black buckled shoes.

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.

Wilson Fisk, better known by his villain moniker Kingpin, has gone through many different iterations on both page and screen.  In the Marvel Puzzle Quest video game, Kingpin is the premier crime lord in New York City.  He has been the leader of both the Maggia and the Hand, and he has no qualms about sacrificing his subordinates if it means gaining the upper hand in a fight.  This version of Kingpin has him wearing a dapper-looking suit with a purple cravat and grey trench coat with matching purple lining.  His cane includes a diamond-like gem on the top.  When choosing a coat, you’ll likely want to focus on either the correct shade of light grey or the lining, as finding both in tandem can be difficult.  Either way, make sure if you aren’t ready to bic your head you take time to get your bald cap right to really pull off the look.

Bendy is the mascot of Joey Drew Studios. The studio is in fact real but a fictional version is the setting of the incredible horror-puzzle-action game Bendy and the Ink Machine. In his original form, Bendy is a classic-style cartoon with a white face and white gloves. His hair, body, and shoes are all black.

To get Bendy’s look, you only need a few select pieces. Black dress shoes with large buckles, a black bodysuit, and large white gloves make up the majority of the costume. You can get Bendy’s hair style by using a short black wig and some wig styling gel. Mime makeup will recreate the rest of his look. You can even replicate Bendy’s cartoon-style eyes by painting your eyelids with black with a white wedge so you’ll look just like Bendy when you close your eyes.

Before Luke Triton, Professor Hershel Layton had another assistant: Emmy Altava. This ambitious young woman accompanied the puzzle-solving gentleman during the events of prequel games set three years prior to Luke’s adventures with Layton. Although Emmy’s loyalty to the professor was tested during her final appearance in the series, she’s aided him many times with her martial arts prowess and investigative skills.
