Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

almost done with my m9 rewatch and i’m in shambles 😭 #criticalrole #crc2 #art
an assortment of mostly sepia-toned digital drawings of various characters from campaign 2 of critical role: essek casting resonant echo, jester summoning her giant lollipop spiritual weapon, beau wildly theorizing with a mess of notebooks and papers in front of her, and caleb mulling over the spell components for the nein-sided tower, with frumpkin at his side

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.

Another STUNNING image from JWST, this time of the Red Spider Nebula—the vast, wispy, gaseous remains of a now-dead star, the white dwarf core still glowing in the centre.
A series of wispy, blue strands emanate from the centre of the image, which is glowing orangey–red with a little pink. The background is FESTOONED with stars, all set against a black backdrop.

Happy Birthday, Kaedehara Kazuha!

"As early autumn stirs, the breeze begins to rise. Red leaves drift, bearing unspoken feelings." Maybe it's just the cooler weather setting in.

Hal looks worried and is bent over Thaisha, who’s unconscious. He’s holding her face and saying “Stay”.

Nowhere will beat Tumblr's tag system and by that I mean people saying really lovely and nice things about your art in the tags and I wish I had time to draw fancy art all the time b/c I love hearing the nice things once in a while XD

13 is a LOT of cast to draw, but here's my first explorations of 5 of them! Loving the vibe for CR4 already!

#criticalrolespoilers #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole
Group watercolour image of 5 members from Critical Role's new campaign, including Wick (tattooed teal hair cleric), Tyranny (pink tiefling in cleric garb) Occtis (victorian dress with long black hair), Timble (brown haired fairy with bright green dragonfly wings) and Hal (handsome orc with greying hair.)

My first Campaign 4 art, and as is tradition, I came up with my own takes on the characters going mostly from the in-game descriptions & vibes during the first episode as a fun character design challenge that I do each campaign

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleArt #CriticalRolefanart #fanart #bskyart
A very large illustration of all 13 of the main cast all with their reactions to Thjazi's execution. The designs are different from the canon ones, some more than others.

100% All Achievements

xkcd.com/3148/
Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous! [caption] My university is making it really hard to finish a 100% all achievements speedrun.

Rolling Stone spoke with the executive producers about how they reimagined the introduction of The Mighty Nein’s heroes for a new take, as well as an exclusive first look at many of the supporting characters played by guest stars like Mark Strong, Alan Cumming, and — somehow — Tim McGraw.

More old M9 art to share today! I think revisiting a set like this for both Bells Hells and the new C4 group could be a fun challenge!

Two cool ladies (roommates??) and a small pal. Photo from my collection, ca. 1930s.
A black and white photo of two “tomboyish” looking women with their arms slung around each other, one of them holding a kitten. They're outside and wearing work clothes.
