today i bring to you: illustrating the wizards talking the only way they can talk
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast
digital two-panel comic illustrating an exchange between Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. it is drawn in a semi-realistic sketchy style; in the first panel, an off-camera Caleb inquires, "how high does this darkness rise?". Essek, looking up and to the side, as if recalling information, nonchalantly responds with "Oh, about a mile." in the second panel Caleb says, with an earnest and quietly awed expression, "that's fascinating", with 'fascinating' italicized to show the emphasis it was said with in-game.

happy campaign 4 everyone! celebrating with a couple expression studies, for it is a thing that i do

still figuring out everyone's designs, can't wait to draw something more involved!

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers
a page of digital sketches featuring expression studies of characters from the first episode of Critical Role Campaign 4. at the top, there is Occtis, a young human with wavy shoulder-length hair, looking off-screen with a wide-eyed haunted expression. then Thimble, a pixie with messy short hair, long pointy ears and two whiskers coming off of her eyebrows; she is sobbing, large teardrops rolling out of her glassy eyes. then Murray, a voluptious dwarf with voluminous curls, dramatic eye make-up, and neatly groomed chinstrap beard and chest hair; she is pursing her lips and glaring at someone off-screen. in the middle, there is Tyranny, a demon with slightly curled vertical horns, goat ears, a long straight bob with very short bangs, and a small goatee. she is saying, unimpressed, "I'm new here." at the bottom, there is another Tyranny, being held by the soft goat ear by Thaisha, an orc with long kinky hair and prominent tusks. Tyranny seems to be tolerating the ear fondling while Thaisha sobs, "I abandoned my children." in the corner, there is another sketch of Murray, looking at someone off-screen with a doubtful expression, one of the corners of her mouth raised and showing off her glamorous gemstone teeth.

rushing to the other side

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleCampaign4
digital fan art of a scene from campaign 4 episode 4 of Critical Role, illustrating Aranessa and Thaisha running. Aranessa is depicted as a light-skinned thin human with long ginger hair in a disheveled updo, wearing a dark green dress. Thaisha is a much taller, more muscular and heavy-set green-skinned orc, with long kinky dark hair, dressed in a red sleeveless tunic and comfortable dark pants. both of them are rushing to the bridge that is just visible at the edge of the picture; Aranessa has picked up some of her skirts and kicked off her shoes, bare feet against cobblestone, reaching towards the invisible barrier between Estate Davinos and safety. Thaisha is a step behind her, Occtis's dead body slung over one of her shoulders. there is blood smeared across Aranessa's face, some flowing from her nose; Thaisha's shoulder is covered in Occtis's blood. they are illuminated by the light of the full moon peeking from behind dense clouds, casting an eerie teal glow over them.

i just wanted to do a little study of Wick's and Yanessa's features over the weekend (totally headcanon that they basically have the same face), and then it spiraled out of control

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #Araman
a set of semi-realistic sketchy head shot portraits of several characters from campaign 4 of Critical Role. Azune is a young human with a short beard and long wavy hair in a messy braid. he has a thin faded scar running up his cheek and through his facial hair, and a large birthmark over his left eye. he is looking up with a hopeful expression. Tyranny is a young-looking demon with pierced goat ears, horns growing out of her forehead, a pointy goatee, and long straight hair with short bangs. she is depicted in profile, her mouth open as if speaking and her hands folded in front of her face in a prayer. Wick is a young human with short hair curling delicately around his face. he has several simple tattoos on his face, including a stripe running down his bottom lip and chin and through his short goatee. there is a diadem resting on his forehead, decorated with crystals. he is looking at the camera with a serene smile. next to him is his grandmother Yanessa, an older woman with features very similar to Wick. she is wearing an elaborate up-do with a halo-like crystal ornament woven into her hair. she is smiling at the viewer with the same smile as her grandson. Teor is lion-folk with a septum piercing and a braided beard. he's looking wistfully into the distance. Occtis is a young human with dark shoulder-length wavy hair. he appears slightly tired, looking down. Julien is a young human with thick curly hair. he has a bit of stubble on his chin and a few moles on his face. he is staring at the viewer from under his eyebrows with angry defiance.

Myth is the Minotaur
#HouseOfLeaves
an illustration inspired by House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. it depicts the minotaur at the center of the labyrinth, surrounded by bones and blood. he's sitting on his haunches, his legs are that of a bull from the knees down. there are various quotes from the book scattered around him, such as: "this is not for you." "Navidson is not Minos. He did not build the labyrinth. He only discovered it. The father of that place - be it a Minos, Daedalus, St. Mark's -god, another father who swore "Begone! Relieve-me from the sight of your detested form", a whole paternal line here following a tradition of deaf sons." "Love the lion!" "Love the lion." But Love alone does not make yeu Androcles. And for your stupidity your head's crushed like a grape in its jaws." "Be careful. Beware" " Picture that. In your dreams" "And if you do lose yourself, at least take solace in the absolute certainty that you will perish" "Myth is the Minotaur" "That's what you get for trying to turn the Minotaur into a homie. no homie at all"

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast
digital fan art of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, at Jester and Fjord's wedding, sitting on a bench and kissing. Essek is a young-looking slender dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is artfully curled and pinned back. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his early forties, with auburn chin-length wavy hair and a full beard. they are both dressed in formal clothing, cream and light pink to match the colors Jester had picked for her wedding. Essek is wearing a silk shirt with bishop sleeves and a straight neckline that exposes his neck and a wide pearl choker; he also has slacks on, short enough to reveal his boots with metal toe-tips, as well as a coat made of thick matte fabric, with wide geometric shoulders and layered hanging sleeves. it is caught at the waist with a wide sash, the coat's two floral frog closures open. Caleb is dressed in form-fitting pants tucked into white boots, a leather strap around one of his thighs. he has a long-sleeved shirt on under a light pink sleeveless coat made of delicate floral brocade. there is a large white flower tucked behind his ear. both of them are wearing a bit of make-up: Essek has white lipstick on his bottom lip, and Caleb's eyes are accentuated with fiery red eyeshadow. they are sitting on a bench outside, leaning into each other, Essek placing a kiss on the corner of Caleb's mouth. Essek's left hand is guiding Caleb's chin towards him with a delicate finger, while his right is resting in Caleb's left. there is a flowering branch above them, soft pink petals lying on the white cobbled stones beneath their feet. the ocean is visible behind them, the setting sun shining right behind the couple's heads, illuminating them in warm orange glow.

お誕生日おめでとう!!! Posting here late OOPS
#芹霊 #serirei
A colored drawing of Reigen and Serizawa from Mob Psycho 100. They're in bed, cuddling. Reigen is laying down on his side, with Serizawa coming up behind him and giving Reigen a kiss on the cheek. One of Serizawa's hands is in Reigen's hair and the other is on his chest. The hand on his chest, his left hand, has a wedding ring on it. Reigen is smiling a toothy smile, his eyes closed. They're both wearing their pajamas. There is a barely visible speech bubble coming from Serizawa that says, in Japanese: "Otanjoubi omedetou, Arataka" (Happy Birthday, Arataka).

Friendly reminder that Artemis Entreri, one of the most famous calimshite characters, has been whitewashed to hell by wotc even though he's been described as a poc in the novels FOR YEARS and I really try to stay faithful to that with my art

As you can see the fire spread outside the room was minor but this is taken from where my room is and the green is the escape route. No one was injured and I got a good grade in Fire Evac by being outside in under 2 minutes

Is it a real convention if there's not a fire in your hotel, on your floor, two doors down from you?

(All is well it's out, didn't spread, and I'm back in my own room lol but uhm!! Woof!)

foods that are 5x more powerful than regular food:

- single overpriced soda that carries you through an anime convention

- teeny tiny bag of pretzels on a long flight

- very small portion of m&ms your kindergarten teacher doles out as Reward
