13 Cosplays of Halloween: Couples' Crypt - Ellie/Joel (The Last of Us)

Day 3! Another thing I'm gonna try on this year's CPoH is what I call 'Couples' Crypt.' Much like how I use the 'Uniforms of the Undead' on uniforms, I use 'Couples' Crypt' for costumes that can be used for couples or siblings. The characters I'll be using to start this off are Ellie and Joel from 'The Last of Us.'

Here's a picture of Ellie I found on deviantART. Many thanks to legendg85 of DA for letting me use this!

Here's a picture of Joel. Many thanks to the Last of Us Wiki for letting me this!

What's needed for Joel:

• A green plaid flannel shirt
• Black jeans (Excellent since it's getting colder! ^^)
• Black shoes or work boots
• Fake machete and guns

And for Ellie:

• A red or orange shirt
• A brown long-sleeved shirt
• Black or blue skinny jeans
• Black and white shoes (hi-tops work better, but tennis shoes work too)
• A small brown backpack
• Black and white work gloves

How to make both costumes:

1. Take some dirt and cover the clothes with it. Once you get your desired dirtiness, shake off any excess dirt and put them on. For Ellie, put on the brown shirt on first before the red shirt.
2. Now for the add-ons! For Joel, strap on some fake guns and a fake machete. For Ellie, get your hair in a ponytail and throw on the backpack and gloves.
3. For Joel's facial hair, you can do this by simply dabbing on some brown face paint with a sponge and then a brush. This will give the illusion of a real beard. You can also mix brown and gray paints to make the dirt patches on the hands and face.
4. Throw on some shoes and now you're done!

Hope you enjoyed the first trip to the 'Couples' Crypt!'

Next character: Frank West (Dead Rising)!
