A painted portrait of essek thelyss from critical role, a purplish dark elf with white wick locs decorated with silver wire. He is wearing a purple robe, and silver jewelry. He is wiping his eye as he sheds a tear.

I'm trying to be "positive" and I'm so proud of myself and my artists friends. We're learning everyday and able to create with OUR OWN HANDS and think with OUR OWN BRAIN instead of using a shitty slop machine that makes hands with 7 fingers. We will always be better than that.💚

Celebrating 10 years of Critical Role, the @exandriaartists.bsky.social invites you to the social event of the season! Everyone in Exandria is ready to party.

Everyone.
#CR10Party #criticalrolefanart #itsjustachair
A solitary chair sits in a dark space illuminated by a moonbeam. Confetti litters the floor. On the chair, a glass of champagne, a party hat and a balloon with the number 10 on it.

My piece for #AGERewind by @exandriaartists.bsky.social showing my progress from 2021 to 2025. Practice indeed makes you better at art, who would have thought? Thank you AGE community for challenging and motivating me through the years. #criticalrole #eadwulfgrieve #crfanart #volstrucker #blumendrei

Seeing far too many AI garbage images out in the real world. Here's your reminder that there are no ethical uses of this crap whatsoever. I don't care how you try to justify it to yourself, or how you think it's "just okay this once". There is no good in it, and a whole lot of bad.

First Artfight victim: @pryingblackbird.bsky.social’s Fen 💜💜

A traditional drawing of a gnome with grey skin and brown hair. He’s sitting on a bench wearing a mechanic’s apron and holding a pencil and a wrench. They have tattoos on their face and arm. Behind them is a large round construct with a single eye.

For Critical Role Land, a project by @exandriaartists.bsky.social I made a little gingerbread heart stand. You can find these at pretty much every German fair or festival all year round, and you usually by them as gifts for others. #crfanart #criticalrolefanart #CRland

digging deeper on the woman who unleashed bees on evicting officers. she is legit a hero trying to save a 79-year-old neighbor from eviction and is part of a broader movement to punish predatory lending. name a planet after her nymag.com/intelligence...
The Bees of Wrath
Rorie Woods knew foreclosure all too well. And when her friend was evicted, she rushed over with a venomous posse.

I was walking around Rexxentrum and saw this weird poster…
@exandriaartists.bsky.social do you know if this museum is any good? Where even is the Heartmoor Hamlet??

#AllHytrogas #CriticalRoleFanart
A linocut print stuck to a brick wall. There’s a decorative frame with text at the top and bottom reading “TWILIGHT MIRROR MUSEUM” and “HEARTMOOR HAMLET” respectively. In the middle there’s a face of a man with a pencil mustache and big sideburns and an obnoxious smirk.

Evon's Emon vacation. What a shame all the shops closed halfway through for seemingly no reason, must have been some strange Tal'Dorei holiday.

Our April project is a mystery, but in the meanwhile do you think you can find Hytroga in this image?

Be sure to check back, there may be some more coming soon... (Check below for contributing artists!)

My piece for the latest @exandriaartists.bsky.social project is her majesty Queen of Soot Yabber Tinysoot XIX, leader of the Tinysoots. She is the holder of the key to the Everflame Crevasse.
