#Lantern

[deadtwinksdetectiveagency]

Added this post to my resource doc! Thank you so much Etherii!!!

Attention Dead Boy Detectives fans (and fan artists in particular):

Wanting to include The Lantern in something but having trouble seeing all the details in screenshots? Good news! I’m almost certain I just found the type of lantern they used/modified/based a build off of for the show!

It’s called an Anchor Oil Lamp

First, some Screenshots: (thank you @alltimefail for your help with these!)

And the lanterns I found tonight:

The shapes and silhouette all look very close to me, and if you look closely at the screenshot of the Dollhouse hallway, you can even see the edge of the ‘anchor light’ label on there!

I don’t think any of these are the exact model- most have a metal handle (though they might have replaced the handle themselves) and the one I found with a rope one has a floral design that’s not there in the show. There’s also some variation in the Fresnel glass between some of the ones I’ve seen.

Unless they found an actual antique, it’s very likely they got a new one and colored the metal to make it look more aged and not so shiny- and they almost certainly replaced the oil wick with an electric light as well.

I hope this is helpful to some of you- I don’t think any of them are the exact same model, but it’s still pretty dang close to what we see in the show if you need more references!

(More pictures at these links, and there’s a bunch if you search eBay too:)

An old video of me testing out the paper dragon prototype. I love how the light scatters through the scales and onto the background. Then life got busy and I kind of forgot about this project 😅

I just ordered a new laser cutter thanks to everyone's recommendations (after my old one broke) and aim to complete this in the future like my koi lanterns :D

You should keep the lantern burning.

Smashed two prompts together because it was too good an opportunity to pass up and any time's a good time to post something related to Over the Garden Wall. So have a Beast.
