Raven from the Crossbreed Series
By Dannika Dark
Considering my level of fangirling where this series is concerned, putting together a Raven costume would only need a leather jacket, combat boots and a push dagger that can be hidden in my belt.
A trainee from the Black Dagger Legacy SeriesBy J. R. Ward
It's a new group of characters so being a generic trainee would be relatively simple. You'd need to dress all in black, wear heavy sh*t kickers (as the author likes to refer to them), pop in a pair of vampire fangs (optional) and if you aren't naturally defined or muscular some strategic contouring can go a long way. You could also add a detail here and there if you're looking to resemble a specific main character.
Kat from the Night Huntress SeriesBy Jeaniene Frost
This will depend on what era of Kat you'll want to represent. I personally find the first era (when Bone's trains her to scope out vampires in bars) easier to recreate. Find some really high kick*ss heels (think pole dancer inspired shoes) with either a short dress or tight-fitting jeans and cleavage enhancing top. Remember to have strategically hidden stakes throughout the outfit because it needs to be functional while still getting the job done *wink wink*.
Sabina from the Sabina Kane Series
By Jaye Wells
The most important feature you'd need to find or fabricate would be a wig that's black and has a lot of neon red highlights. The rest would be simple: combat boots, black clothing, and a gun. If you're looking to be super realistic having a Ducati bike will complete the look.
Mercy from the Mercy Thompson SeriesBy Patricia Briggs
You'll need temporary tattoos (if you've got real tattoos that's even better), a basic tank top, jeans that have been worn well (she's a mechanic so if they're stained that's even better) and regular shoes. Depending on which book you're going off of you can also fabricate a walking stick of some kind (check the book for a detailed description). It's been a while since I've read this series so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think her dark hair is usually in a long braid down her back.

Such a fun twist on this week's topic! I really need to give the Mercy Thompson series a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That'd be awesome! :)
DeleteI've only read Mercy Thompson of these but yeah her look wouldn't be TOO hard to recreate, I think. And I love the all black, the boots, haha. Fangs sound pretty good too for Halloween! A leather jacket would be perfect, maybe the black hair with neon highlights...kind of a mash up. :)
ReplyDeleteThese would be great for a last minute thing on Halloween! I too adore all black outfits, so I subconsciously projected it on all the heroines in the novels I've mentioned... oops? Neon Highlights sounds like a great idea! :)
DeleteAll these costume posts are great! I like how you went for looks that wouldn't be too intense to recreate.
ReplyDeleteIntense costumes are not meant to be created/put together a few days before Halloween! Also most of the books I read have pretty subtle and nondescript main characters (with a few exceptions) which helps these situations along :)
