Carbon Costume

David (voiced in Japanese by Katsuhisa Namase and in English by Ray Chase) is a secondary main character in the first My Hero Academia movie, Two Heroes.

He used to be All Might’s sidekick when they were younger as well as his costume designer, and since went on to being a professional support items scientist. His daughter Melissa is following in his footsteps and studying to be a support specialist for heroes as well.

David has short, semi-messy light brown hair and a matching goatee (I had some difficulties with the wig, hopefully this will be a good enough one to style like his hair), and his eyes are a tealish-aqua color, which he wears dark blue glasses over. His main outfit is a dark navy button-up shirt, light greyish-blue pants with a dark brown belt holding them up. His shoes are a pair of sneakers in red, white, and blueish-grey, and he also wears both a black wristwatch and a wedding ring on the same arm.

Captain Mack (portaryed by Bennett Thorpe) is a children’s television persona from British television.  Captain Mack and his monkey engineer Samson watch over Sunshine City from Sky Rocket Control.  Captain Mack wears a red jumpsuit with silver accessories including a helmet, belt, gloves, and boots.  Use silver tape to recreate the shoulder details on your own costume.

A new TV series has been going viral online for its spot-on live action adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. This series depicts the aftermath of The Great War of 2077, where survivors take refuge in fallout shelters or Vaults, which are actually all created as different experiments on the people who live in them. It follows a woman named Lucy who leaves Vault 33 to find her father in the dangerous wasteland of what is left of Los Angeles. She runs into a Ghoul bounty hunter, originally named Cooper Howard. In the series we also get to meet Cooper’s wife named Barb Howard, and learn more about their story as the series progresses.

To dress like Barb Howard, wear a 50s style peach or pink dress, a short deep brown curly wig, retro heels, and pearl jewelry.

You can also match as a couple or family following my guide for her husband Cooper Howard and daughter Janey Howard.

In My Life as a Teenage Robot, Tiffany “Tiff” Crust (voiced by Cree Summer) is the grungier half of the Crust Cousins. Alongside Brit Crust, she’s a highly fashionable and popular girl who bullies the students at Tremorton High School. Brit often clashes brashly with Jenny Wakeman and her friends.

Will Trent (played by Ramón Rodríguez) is the titular GBI agent from the series Will Trent, based on the series of books by Karin Slaughter.  Will grew up in the foster care system alongside off-and-on girlfriend Angie Polaski and solves crimes in Atlanta with his partner Faith Mitchell.  He has a penchant for three-piece suits, loves his adopted pup Betty, and always carries a handkerchief.  To build your costume, you’ll need a brown three-piece suit, button down shirt, dress shoes, and tie.  Top it off witha white handkerchief and a stuffed pup to stand in as your Betty.

Neo is a major antagonist in the online series RWBY, created by Rooster Teeth. While she doesn’t speak, she does technically have some small sounds that she makes, which are provided by Casey Lee Williams in English, and by Konomi Fujimura in Japanese.

She has the ability to change her appearance into whatever she wishes, due to her Semblance ‘Overactive Imagination’, and uses this for many infiltration purposes. During volume 3, she joins in with the rest of Cinder’s team to sneak into Beacon and take part in the Vytal Festival Tournament, though we only see her in this disguise in one very brief scene.

Neo’s normally tri-colored hair is changed to black for this disguise, and worn up in two long pigtails, tied with white bows. Her eyes are green upon first seeing her, but right at the moment of attack, she lets her heterochromia show, and you can see her pink and brown eyes again. Her shirt is a black, sleeveless crop stop with a high collar, tied with a black ribbon, and topped with white ruffle accents. The bottom half appears to be a black and white paneled skirt (the angle makes it very difficult to tell if they’re shorts or a skirt), with a white belt at the top and white ribbon detailing along the side. The outfit is finished off with elbow-length black gloves, white and black leg warmers, and black boots with her symbol on the bottom.

A new TV series has been going viral online for its spot-on live action adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. This series depicts the aftermath of The Great War of 2077, where survivors take refuge in fallout shelters or Vaults, which are actually all created as different experiments on the people who live in them. It follows a woman named Lucy who leaves Vault 33 to find her father in the dangerous wasteland of what is left of Los Angeles. She runs into a Ghoul bounty hunter, originally named Cooper Howard. He was a film actor before the war. In this guide I’ll be covering his daughter, Janey Howard’s cowboy costume in Episode 1, where she matches her dad.

Although this costume looks complicated to make, this guide is doable for an artist of any level. Starting with the iconic blue and gold western shirt, use a kids size blue western dress shirt, like the boys shirt linked below (which works for boys and girls) as the base to build off of. For the gold/ cream section on the top portion of the shirt and the sleeve cuffs, cut either a jacquard patterned or brushed twill fabric to the shape of the top of the shirt and either glue it down (the edges will be covered by the fringe trim but iron and fold edges for a cleaner look) or sew the fabric on top. If you’re skilled in sewing and want to take it even further, seam rip the top section from the collar and sleeves and use the removed blue piece as a pattern for the gold fabric, adding seam allowance to sew back in place. You can also add cream piping/ bias tape along the collar and front button panels.

Next, along the edge of the gold fabric you added, either sew or glue on gold fringe trim, following the edge across the front, over the shoulder, and to the back.

Now for the details on the gold fabric: if you choose a printed jacquard fabric, you can keep as is. It gives the same effect of having variety to the surface. However if you have more time to add detail, choose the solid brushed twill fabric and paint and/or embroider a similar pattern of line drawings of scorpions similar to the photos. Doing a combination of both flat painted and 3-D embroidered icons gives it the same variety as the one from the series. You can also paint or embroider (or both) the icons on the collar.

For the rest of the costume, wear brown pants (I’ve linked both girls and boys sizes). Bootcut works better to cover cowboy boots like the ones linked below. On top of those, wear a brown cowboy holster belt. More accessories to complete the look include a cream cowboy hat, a sheriff’s badge and a gold neck scarf. To be even more screen-accurate for the scarf, take a solid cream or white bandana, and tie-dye it yellow.

To go as a parent-kid duo just like in the first episode, follow my guide for Janey’s dad: Cooper Howard. Even further, I’ve also created one for Janey’s mother, and Cooper’s wife Barb Howard.

Saori Kido (voiced by Keiko Han) is the reincarnation of the goddess Athena in the anime and manga series Saint Sieya.  As the reincarnation of Athena, Saori is surrounded by Saints tasked with protecting her, including Seiya, the protagonist of the series.  Saori has long purple hair with bangs.  In her reincarnated form, she wears a long flowing white dress.  Her accessories include a gold hairpiece, gold arm band, a gold necklace, and gold corseted belt.  She carries a staff with a round gold topper.  If a replica of her staff is outside your price range, choose a gold one with a curved shape at the top.
