Halloween 2012


Hey guys,
Halloween is coming up and I thought share some aquabats related costumes ideas.
Video HERE.

AQUABATS UNIFORM:
Most of the uniform pieces can be found on the Aquabats website.
Rashguard blue/purple

They don't sell the belts, but you can always make one. 
FEOD Power Belt Tutorial (Coming Soon)

You can also make a quick costume.
Goggles: "Tutorial"
Wristguards: Tutorial
Rashguard: Long sleeve shirt, paint on an A. Or Iron transfer it on.

For Uniform Recourses, Check out the Costume Help Thread on the Forum.

OTHER CHARACTERS:

Space Monster M:
Shave your head, or put on a bald cap.
Paint your head white.
Paint an M on your forehead.
Wear blackout contacts.
Wear all black clothing to simulate nothingness, and you'll look like a floating head(works best at night).

Floating Eye of Death: Noe Valladolid mad this fantastic costume for comic-con. (1)(2)
I talked to him briefly about how he made it, and heres what he told me:
The Eye was a 3' beach ball,
The tentacles were pool noodles(might be hard to find in off season),
The harness was elastic cord covered in pink duct tape.
The eyeball was help on with large velco strips.
Pink wire was used to hold all the arms together.

Eva Mudlark:
Her costume is pretty easy.
Arm Warmers
Belt(that she wears across chest)
Shorts, of the brown variety
Black and Blue "skinny" belts
Duct tape.
The tan tank top.
The black/grey shirt that's been cut into a tank top.
Glasses.
Boots
And badly apply makeup.

Optional:
Lab Coat
Orange Rubber Gloves

Large Yellow/Mustard Button-Up Shirt
Cheap Short Black Wig(badly put on)

I don't even know how to explain that donut store uniform...

RonMark:
DigiCamo Long Sleeve Shirt
"I AM AWESOME" Shirt used to be sold at H&M, but is no longer made. But you could always paint it one, iron on letters from a craft store, or get it made for you online or at one of those mall kiosks.
Ball Chain Necklace. My guess is around 3/8" diameter
Dog Tags His looked larger than normal one's, but I couldn't find it online.
Studded Bracelet
Jeans
I couldn't find his rings. He has two that are square, with black stars.

Martian Girl From Planet V: 
Paint your skin Green
Silver Underwear/bikini. I'm not going to link to this... you can google it. there are many options
Blue Wig

If you want to be a bit more modest, or just warmer, you could go as one of the "V Girls" from the "In Color!" Pilot.


So there are a few ideas of fun aquabats related costumes. Of course there are many many more characters you can go as, but now you have a few ideas to spark your imagination.

If you dress up as any of these costume ideas or any other Aquabats related costume, send me a picture and a short description along with your name to: FanMadeAquabats@gmail.com
And I will feature it on a future episode.

Stay Rad,
