Fan Creations

Costumes, props, art and everything in between, made by Dungeon Crawler Carl fans and credited to them.

New achievement available

Founding Chef

You spent forty hours on that build and the group chat said "nice." Show it to people who get why Carl isn't wearing pants.

  • A founding number, #001 to #010, for good
  • A gold edition recipe card to show off
  • Credit for your whole crew, and a link to your own post

Add yours

Anything DCC you made yourself counts:

Halloween costumesCon cosplayFan artProps and buildsPet costumesCrafts, minis and pumpkins

Takes about a minute: a photo (or a link to where you posted it) and the name you want on it. We do the rest, and take it down any time you ask.

Big photos are fine. We strip location data before anything goes up.

Photo on your phone? Open crawlerscookbook.com/add there.

Blank is fine: we will message the name you gave.

Tell us more (optional, it makes your page better)
What is it?
Who is it? (optional, pick any)

Costumes can spoil too: a later class, a new outfit, a missing limb. This keeps the gallery safe for readers behind you.

We credit everyone you name, once they have agreed.

The boring-but-important bit
  • I'm 18 or older.
  • I made it, or my crew said I could send it.
  • Everyone in the photo is an adult and OK with it being shared, and so is whoever took it.
  • People made it, not an AI image generator.
  • The Crawler's Cookbook can show it here with my credit. It's still mine.

Where else it can go (optional, tick any)

We publish what fits and is spoiler-free, in your words. Once it is up anyone can see it; change your mind and we take it down, any time.

How we store and delete submissions is on the privacy page.

Stuck for an idea?

A few things we would love to see. Just ideas: no prizes, no votes, no deadline.

House rules: what we feature, what we don't, and your rights

What we feature

  • Costumes: a finished Carl, Donut, Mongo or crew look, with what you bought, thrifted or made, and what survived the night.
  • Props and builds: gauntlets, pet costumes, painted minis, game-night tables, a floor map you built.
  • Art: drawings, paintings and crafts you made yourself. Fan interpretations, labelled as yours, never as how the books describe it.

We feature work made by people, not AI image generators. We do not sell prints, make merchandise, or use anyone's work in ads.

What we will not publish

Copies of official art or book pages; AI-generated images; anything sexual, gory or hateful; photos showing children; photos with a name badge, address, licence plate or anyone who did not agree to be in it; work we cannot confirm is yours; and anything selling something. For now we also hold back anything that spoils a book, because a picture can spoil before any label is read.

Your work stays yours

  • A person reads every entry. Nothing is published automatically.
  • We resize the photo, remove its location data, credit you by the name you choose, and link to your own post or profile.
  • We only ask permission to show it here; we claim no rights to it. To have something taken down, use report a problem. For consent, safety or copyright we take it down first and check second.

This is an unofficial fan site. Featuring your work here does not make it official or licensed by Matt Dinniman or his publishers.
