Every cartoonist has a comic they knocked out in a few minutes that people respond to way more than their "real" comics. This is mine, from 2019.

The Eye Booger Police.
Four panel comic.Panel one. My cat, Eensy Weensy, (with an eye booger) and a door. From the doorcomes a BANG BANG, and "open up in there." Eensy Weensy says, "Oh shit" Panel two: I kick in the door. I am wearing a cop suit. I Say "Freeze, asshole." Panel three: My hands close in on Eensy Weensy as she tries to run away. She says, "It's the eye booger police." Panel four. We both crash through a window and fall at least two stories, surrounded by shards of glass. Eensy Weensy says, "You'll never get my eye boogers!"

The final #art from the Mighty Nein set (for now) is fittingly from c2e141—and I swear that was unintentional.

I don’t think I stopped crying the whole t-dock scene. And I believe Caleb is in shadow (heh) while Essek talks coz I couldn’t get his profile to look right 😂 😭

#CriticalRoleFanArt
A faux screencap-style artwork of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. Caleb is in the foreground in heavy shadow while Essek is in sharp focus in the back. Essek’s mouth is open as he speaks. The subtitles read ‘What will you do, Caleb Widogast?’

one third of a series of Essek portraits, inspired by a convo with @saturdaysky.bsky.social about the universe needing more Esseks wearing fun colors. black & purple is a timeless classic, but i like to think that Hot Boi can and does rock colors outside of that 🤭
part 1: peach!
#criticalrolefanart
digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, done in a painterly style with wide brushstrokes. he is depicted as a young-looking slender drow, with lavender skin and short white hair, the curls falling over his forehead. he is wearing an outfit loosely inspired by Chinese hanfu. it consists of long and wide high-waisted pants made of shiny iridescent peachy orange silk, held up with a dark ribbon tied in two knots, the loose ends falling down the front; a similarly-colored wrapped-front shirt; and a terracotta brown coat with a hood. his arms appearing out of the arm slits are covered in leg-of-mutton sleeves. Essek is standing against a loosely sketched periwinkle background, lit with a warm rosy light as if from a rising sun. he is carrying a woven basket full of fresh peaches in his left hand, while his right arm is supporting a red and white cat against his chest. he is smiling fondly and looking down at the other two cats gathered around him.

✨The Bright Queen✨

This Critical Role fanart is both my favorite and was my most popular on Twitter (bye twitter!). Crit Role dragged me through the worst depression of 2016 through being an "essential worker" in 2020 and this drawing will always remind me of that blend of hope and fear.
A regal drow queen bathed in cold blue light stands in front of a massive crystal throne, looking down at a humble hobo wizard. Illustration of the Bright Queen from Critical Role.

I made this illustration last year for ep 10 of @midstpodcast.bsky.social !

[ #midst #criticalrole #art #illustration #KuroArt #criticalroleart ]
A scene set in a pitch black night, illuminated by warm lamplight. The setting is a desert looking area with big succulent plants, outside a busy, fancy saloon-style nightclub. Groups of people hang around the area, chatting and smoking. A couple is approaching a group of friends. Others are flirting. Two dancers are taking a break on the doorstep.

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolespoilers #dorym #shadowgast
a humorous black and white fan comic featuring characters from Critical Role. in the first two panels, Essek (wearing his Seth disguise) addresses Dorian with "Careful, you're a heart-breaker". Dorian is looking at him with an incredibly confused expression, question marks exploding around him. in the next two panels, Caleb says to Orym with an intense face, "If not now, when?", and Orym is staring down with wide eyes, sweat beading on his forehead, multiple question marks running in a row behind him. at the bottom, Essek is in his drow form, wearing a comfortable house robe, his wild curly hair pushed back with a sleeping mask resting high on his head. he is drinking from a coffee mug, holding a sending stone in the other hand, and says "Do you think our intervention has helped?". below him in a different panel and clearly in a different physical space, Caleb is holding his sending stone up to his mouth with one hand, and has a small toy alligator in the other, inspecting it carefully. he responds, "Absolutely. We were exceedingly straightforward with our advice, I am positive they've asked each other out by now."

I managed to find a keyboard I can use instead of the defunct keydial… it sucks because I’m soooo used to the other layout but well… I managed to do some work and also sketch to get more used to the iPad

I’ve been listening to #Midst ’s 1st season and I wanted to sketch the 3 main characters!
#art
Three portraits of Midst’s main characters: on the top left Lark, a ‘Clint Eastwood’-kind of woman with dreadlocks, a cowboy hat and a peculiar mark creeping up to her cheek. On the top right Phineas Thatch, a blond young man wearing a colorful armor and with a black bead around his neck. At the bottom, Moc Weepe, a bald man with white-opalescent skin.

An old #criticalrole painting I made way back when, just before the Mighty Nein reunited with Essek in Eiselcross.

He'd been gone for so long at that point, and I remember pouring all my "please stay narratively relevant and interesting 🥺" hopes into this one! he was a safe staaar

#saturdayskyart
A digital painting of Essek from Critical Role. He is a large figure in the night sky, and in his hands, he holds a glowing orb, within which is shown the Might Nein. As the sky gets closer to the horizon, it lightens into dawn over the snowy landscape of Eiselcross. Tiny figures trudge over the drifts toward each other; the Mighty Nein and Essek, meeting at last after a long absence. The Essek in the sky looks upon his friends with great warmth.

Did you know that Evon Hytroga was there when the Mighty Nein returned the beacon to the court of the Bright Queen? 100% true, absolutely no fabrication!

Happy April fools from @exandriaartists.bsky.social ;^)

An illustration with a golden frame, showing a shocked Evon Hytroga pointing to a throne room, filled with glowing gold light rays coming from a floating Beacon, being presented by the Mighty Nein to the Bright Queen, sitting on her throne.

Got reminded of this 2022 fanart this morning, one of the more...intense, paintings I had ever done! The Endless Atheneum, from critical role :D #criticalrolefanart
Digital Painting of a massive, sprawling library, full of towering shelves with books and scrolls and tablets, the centre of which is filled with blinding golden light.

i am still so sad we never got to meet verin in canon, bc i *immensely* enjoy when characters who are as cool and composed as essek regress back into petty teenagers with their siblings. and a jock-nerd brother dynamic on top of it is even better… i would’ve liked to see it….
