New pinned post! I'm so proud of the work that I've done with Critical Role and Darrington Press the last two years. I feel so lucky to have been given a ticket to the Circus, and I'm excited to see what's in the center ring every week!
In case anyone is curious, these two were easily the most mind-bending, in terms of design. I was so terrified of FCG. I watched cartoons about it. A whole new paradigm.
Well, I finally finished the whole M9 in Art/Pastiche series. I thought you might be interested in seeing the side to side with some of my inspirations. In case of curiosity- Easiest- Caleb, Hardest- Jester, Best- Matt, Took the Longest- Molly.

The Klimt one was soooo difficult. Caduceus was a soothing joy, as always.
Jester- Gustav Klimt
Caduceus- Alphonse Mucha

I was gonna wait to post this with Nott, but I'm in the middle of moving, and I can't sit on this for like two weeks. And I had so much fun with this one and I feel so good about it!
Matt- Hans Holbein

Hey
#CriticalRole
fans- I’ve got a gift for you. I’m giving away (the first half of) my Bells Hells Turnaround blanks in transparent PNG format. Use them to make costumes, inform fanart, whatever you like! Just follow the attached rules and have fun!
Chetney and two other characters were modeled by my father. Sorry, dad.
Except for the nose, that's my mother's nose. Also my grandpa's nose. And also my nose. My nose is normal-ish sized but you should see my Grandpa Stanley.

This has been a super fun way to practice styles and effects in photoshop.
Caleb- Van Gogh
Beau- Roy Lichtenstein
Molly- Byzantine mosaic.

Extremely proud of the honey comb in the staff. Thank you to Taliesin for introducing me to the spine-tingling Goliathus Orientalis Beetle and its totally not gross or weirdly wet and bat-like wings. I spent a lot of time with them.
And why not bring back the 2020 piece, as well? When I first sketched this puppy out, my husband had the audacity to look over my shoulder and ask “where’s Vax?”
“Opal’s getting a little dark”
Okay I’m gonna hop on a plane, but maybe I’ll pick this back up at home if I still like it when I’m not in an airport.

I entered a

postcard exchange on Reddit despite not having and CR postcards. So I threw this together for the occasion. My recipient’s fave character is Caleb. Merry Winter’s Crest, C!
Here’s my contribution to this year

holiday gallery! This year was a bumper crop of incredible pieces, I was honestly blown away by the full gallery. Check it out here-
Google your first name and “Dungeons and Dragons outfit” and post the first image that comes up
Bearah is a legend. This tracks. Also fitting since yesterday marked three years since we filmed Honey Heist.

Over on tumblr, for no reason other than Someone Asking, I’ve been going through Orym’s layers. (Note- does not constitute canon, I’m just having fun. Only
@VoiceOfOBrien
can canonize.)

12 years ago I named my cat Mago after listening to
@HardcoreHistory
's series about the Punic Wars. Still listening. Hey Dan- more stuff like Caesar at Hastings.
I was actually amazed at how quickly Deanna came together and my husband was like “I feel like you have evidence that
@quiddie
makes a minimum of five characters a week, so you can’t be that surprised.” Good point. Also knitters lmk when you’ve got patterns I’ll retwt them.
A connection from the past joins the fight for the future...
The quick and ever-ready Deanna is brought to life by the legendary

herself!

Started on the phone, moved to iPad. Caduceus! In a tea garden. Everything is a tea garden. EveryONE is a tea garden.

I know I’m late but what if Orym was trying to suss out if Dusk fought like the people who attacked? Did he recognize the sword/style of sword?
#CriticalRoleSpoilers
Ahhhh! They announced it! I am so honored to be the artist on this project- every minute working on it was a joy, and I can’t express how grateful I am to be a part of it. Also A MINI!
2020 was the year I got to live the dream and illustrate Uk’otoa for
@DarringtonPress
. In celebration of the high point of a difficult year, my dad gifted me this gorgeous pot by Ephraim Pottery to commemorate my Year of Sea Monsters.
I did these two years ago, and they still count as the most fun I’ve ever had doing fanart. I’m trying to decide between starting it up again and waiting for a year or so to see how the new kids pan out.

I was cleaning off my desktop and found process pics from that time I drew
@matthewmercer
. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it looks like to take three shots at a face in one portrait, well. On the other hand- remarkable dedication to the palette.

I’m just about halfway through season 2 of
#themagnusarchives
, and I’m starting to get a little worried about the narrator’s mental health. Of course I’m sure it will all clear up and be resolved before the season finale.
@TheRustyQuill
{{shows up late with fanart}} WOW GUYS I’m sure glad that was a fun low key episode that’s not gonna traumatize the characters forever.

The machined patterning under the enamel on FRIDA’s cladding is called Guilloché, which can only be made on highly specialized Rose Engine Lathes like this Holtzapffel model (very rare outside Aeor, I hear). I highly recommend the wiki rabbit hole on Engine Turning.
A shining face joins the fray...

THAT'S THIS SERIES DONE! I’m gonna put together a wrap up post with some side-by-sides of the work and my inspirations over on tumblr. THANK YOU for sticking with me!
#criticalrolefanart
I guess I'm just posting these individually, now.
Yasha- Illuminated Manuscripts
This started out as a stylistic pastiche of the work of Gerard Horenbout, specifically the Book of Hours of Joanna I of Castile, but it evolved into something more generalized.
