Kicking off the fanart-focused sideblog with some DBDA reposts!

[pippin-katz]

Hi, this is for queers who are disappointed by Stranger Things.

Please give Dead Boy Detectives a shot. It has mysteries. It is simultaneously very dark and hilarious at the same time. And most importantly, it’s unapologetically queer.

Now, it was prematurely canceled by Netflix. We are still fighting for it to be saved, and a boost in viewership would be amazing fuel to that fire. But regardless of whether we can save it or not, it will not leave you in a position of discontentment. It has a great season wrap up that leaves it perfectly open for more without creating a massive cliffhanger.

Anyway, if you’re into dark, funny, supernatural mysteries and want some real queer representation in your life, please go watch Dead Boy Detectives!!

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Important Petition Information

In August 2025, the person who originally organized the Save Dead Boy Detectives petition announced that he planned to delete the petition on the anniversary of the show’s cancellation. The Save Dead Boy Detectives team suggested several alternate solutions, including offering to take the petition over, working out a method of providing shared access, bringing the matter to Change.org directly, and more. Repeated steps were taken by all parties in order for us not to lose the petition and its progress.

This person has had full and sole control of the Save Dead Boy Detectives petition since its creation in September 2024, and unfortunately no other member of the campaign has ever been able to access it. The team wanted checks and balances put in place, but those efforts were not received well. We apologize for this oversight, and we recognize now that these sort of precautions should have been in place from the beginning. We'll do better going forward.

While this choice may be disheartening, it's not something we're going to let deter us. Given that people are still actively donating money to a petition that is planned to be taken down without notice, we've opted to create a new one to replace it. We've allocated funds to boost its visibility and have put safeguards in place to make sure nothing like this happens again. If you have any questions about the steps we're taking for the future, please feel free to reach out to the Save Dead Boy Detectives team and we're happy to share details.

You can find the new petition here: https://chng.it/8M4DNDYr2M

Let's kick this new petition off on the right foot! Please sign it, share it, and ask your family and friends to sign, too. It's time to let Netflix and every other streaming service know that we still want a second season!

The Dead Boy Detectives Fan Merch Spreadsheet is LIVE! ✨💀🔎

You can find the full spreadsheet here!

My goal was to create an all-in-one resource that makes it easy for everyone in the community to find and support the beautiful creations fellow fans are making and sharing. It will be continually updated!

Creatives are the backbone of a thriving community, and we have some of the best, in my humble opinion. 💜

Additional details under the cut ↓

There are three sections:

Buyable Goods - I.e., any fan merch ranging from art prints, clothing items, accessories, keychains, standees, candles, nail polishes, etc.

Open Commissions Masterlist - Includes artists who are in the fandom and have created art for our community that currently have their commissions open.

Freebies and Collaborative Fan projects - Freebies are any items that members of the community have shared as free resources; this is usually downloadable material (sticker packs, for example) that fans are free to do what they want with. - Collaborative Fan Projects include any organized project where our artists, writers, and so on have come together for a common goal. I've included ones that are finished and ongoing, such as zines (x, x), the Best Frames Project, Oracle Cards, and more.

Down the line, I'm looking at potentially adding a 4th tab for charity-specific projects. But for now, I feel like this is a good start! 💜

If you are missing from any of these sections and you'd like to be included, please let me know so I can add you!

I hope this resource is helpful; thank you to every person in this fandom who has shared their creative talents in a multitude of forms. You make this space amazing. 🫂
