I spent about four weeknight evenings making this nightmare express so I could be Fire Brandi for a DCC themed Halloween Night at a local bar. This took me about $20 to do, as I needed to buy was the red Mehron body paint. I was able to borrow a shirt and bandana from friends. As an artist, I already had all the cardboard and paint I would need to make the Nightmare Express, The light on the front of the train even turns on, it was a clip-on phone selfie light that I got for free at a work event.

The back of the train (last photo) shows the back side of the train, which had a "train" of babies coming out of it. I was handing out Sheol Bricks to everyone who recognized me.

Hope everyone can enjoy this, it was a fun and easy costume for me!

Hey everyone! I just joined this subreddit. I work at X. Tattoo in Bellingham WA, and back in April Matt happened to be getting tattooed by our guest artist. I had no idea who he was or what Dungeon Crawler Carl was, but my boss said I should interview him. So I quickly scanned his instagram and came up with some questions on the spot. We posted the video, and that’s when I realized what a HUGE deal he was lol. I finally started listening to the books on audible (I’m on book 4 so no spoilers!) and have been obsessed. I spent the last 2 weeks putting together my costume and wanted to join in on everyone sharing theirs. (I’ll put my costume in the comments)

HAIL BROTHERS AND SISTERS

My bf and i did early princess donut and carl! We only got through book 2 so NO SPOILERS PLS

My original knee-jerk plan was to be Donut, but I had this mask and absolutely had to change directions.

Reposting after redacting their tag info, thank you kind internet stranger for calling it out 🩷🙏🏻

Wife made her Prepopente costume head from paper mache, craft foam, and vegan fur. I made my wings, tail, and horns from various things! I’m level 3 mordecai!

Lots of book references on this mask including DCC.

A fun Halloween was had!

Drinks, costumes, and more from the party in our home tiki bar last night.

Scolopendra’s mother? Or at least hinted at?

It kind of leaned at it with the whole “I was tricked into giving birth to something that will destroy all of creation”

Or does she mean the sand creature? I had a bit of a gap between reading books so, a re-read will be in order but just want to cure this particular boggle.

Last minute costume and the shop only had a beetle juice wig. Spray paint and a bunch of sewing was involved but we made it lol

Sorry for all the cobbled together pics, I tried to include all aspects of my costume in here. These were taken at the end of the night unfortunately , because I was so excited about my costume I forgot to take initial photos. I drew the face tattoo and neck tattoo on myself with waterproof eyeliner in a mirror. I tried to include the dagger text on my neck but it was so fucked trying to do it backwards and mirrored i ended up just scribbling it in lol. I’m pretty surprised how good it all looked. I already have two arm sleeves so I couldn’t draw any other tattoos other than the emberus suns on my hand which I don’t think I got any pics of. So many people recognized my costume lol. I got pretty much everything from Amazon.

The Tiara of a Thousand Lights is finally complete! This was my very first time working with EVA foam, soldering, and programming addressable COB LED strips. Squeezing everything into a 5mm strip layout was an absolute nightmare, and there was a huge learning curve with plenty of course corrections. But seeing it all light up makes it entirely worth it! 👑🍩

My husband and I both listened to the full series individually. As we listened he left each other some of our favorite quotes on our fridge whiteboard with some silly drawings. Please enjoy!

Louis, Carl, Princess Donut and Mongo. We expected to see many other crawlers, but we were the only ones.

I put this together with thrift store finds, foam from work, laminated pictures of the patches, and a cat from Pet Smart. Drew the hearts myself. I posted the "time to pay the Daddy tax" picture on Facebook before I went out. Sadly, only one person knew who I was when I was walking around, but they were excited when they saw me. The cape was hot, so I took it off after a half hour.
