Illustration / 3D model

The Whitestone Ziggurat is a location in the Dungeons and Dragons web series Critical Role and animated series The Legend of Vox Machina. This image shows a digital illustration of a necromantic ritual taking place atop a tiered pyramid with a long staircase leading to a structure at the top. Some of the tiers also feature rows of stone arches with carved details. There are tall, thin pillars on each corner of the pyramid with hollow stone circles on top. Chains wrap around the circles and lead through the open windows of the upper structure. A green beam of magical energy erupts vertically from the structure and out of the windows. Behind the ziggurat are cave walls and ceiling with stalactites, in front are and tree roots and rocks close to the viewer that frame the image. There is a low-lying teal mist at the base. The colour palette of the image is bright green magic effects, mid-value teal mist and dark blue for the structure and environment. The artist's signature reads "Tristan McGuire @Draconic_Cowboy".

🔴 Ludinus Da'leth x Predathos 🔴
Romance novel cover for the Critical Rolemance April Fools project hosted by @exandriaartists.bsky.social

#CriticalRoleFanart #CriticalRolemance #LudinusDaleth #Predathos
A digital painting imitating the style of a stereotypical romance novel cover. Two figures are posed as if they’re about to kiss. On the left is Predathos the God Eater, an alien humanoid with orange and red skin, green crystals and four arms. On the right is Ludinus Da’Leth, a pale elven man with long white hair and a blue robe. Predathos is using his four arms to caress Ludinus and also pull his robe down, exposing his chest. The background is pink clouds of dust against a dark sky and a vertical line representing the Bloody Bridge. Overlaid on the illustration is white text in a script font. The book title in the lower centre reads ‘Hungry for You’ with subtitle ‘Would you cross the Bloody Bridge for love?’. In the top right is the fake author name ‘Hugh Bris’ a play on words of ‘hubris’

✨ Raishan
- The only dragon in the group to be facing away from the centre of the composition, representing her tendency towards betrayal.
- She's disinterested in the festivities, but at least sees the party as an opportunity to gossip and spread rumours.

✨ Brimscythe
- Dragons can commit a little bit of identity fraud - as a treat...
- Brimscythe wears a fancy formal outfit as a reference to his false identity as General Krieg.
- At the party he enjoys telling stories about himself and his achievements that include lots of bending of the truth.

✨ Thordak
- The most prideful dragon who insists on being the centre of attention.
- He must outshine everyone in the room, which is why he chose such a dazzling outfit.
- The titty window dress shows off his fancy power crystal.
- At the party, he simply basks in the attention of others.

✨ Vorugal
- He's wearing a party hat, as he's the least intelligent of the group.
- He's wearing a t-shirt with a fake tuxedo design again in reference to him being less serious than the others.
- He's excitedly grabbing for a cake as he most enjoys hunting prey.
- He's excited and quite hyper.

- He's wearing a hawaiin shirt as a nod to Matt calling Umbrasyl "the Florida Dragon".
- He's juat a guy who wants to chill and not be bothered by drama.

The above artwork is a redraw of a piece I did back in 2020. Here is the old one, for context! It's fun to see the improvement 💚
Fjord Stone, a green half-orc from Dungeons and Dragons web series Critical Role, is illustrated from the shoulders-up in this digital painting. Fjord faces directly towards the viewer in the symmetrical composition. His hands are held in front of him, cradling a hovering glowing yellow orb with a vertical black slit on it, similar to a vertical pupil. Critical Role fans would recognise this orb as being the Cloven Crystal, an important artefact relating to Fjord's warlock patron Uk'otoa. The glow of the orb illuminates Fjord's face from below and leaves the silhouette of his hands in shadow. Behind Fjord's head is a plain yellow disc that frames his head, which repeats the circular imagery of the orb in the foreground. The background is dark green.

👁️ The Cloven Crystal 👁️

Fjord Stone, a green half-orc from Dungeons and Dragons web series Critical Role, is illustrated from the waist-up in this digital painting. The prominent colour in the painting is green, with emphasis on a yellow sphere in the foreground. The scene is set underwater, and some pieces of seaweed overlap Fjord's body. A spherical yellow crystal floats between Fjord's hands and he gazes at it. In the distant background, a large reptilian eye is looming, looking at Fjord. This is the eye of Uk'otoa, Fjord's warlock patron. There is some resemblance between the background eye and the foreground crystal, which is called the Cloven Crystal.
