Black and white version because @marisha-ray.bsky.social said it looked like a Frank Miller comic in her head and she was SO right - even though Frank Miller I am not, clearly 😅

a black and white digital drawing of a scene in episode 31 ("Gunpowder Plot") of the Vox Machina Campaign of Critical Role. Gnome bard Scanlan shorthalt is standing on the rooftop of a burning manor in the rain, grinning, with his right fist raised. His hand mirrors the giant magic Bigby's Hand floating directly above him. A crossbow bolt is sticking out from his shoulder and from his thigh. He's having the time of his life and is going to make it everyone's problem.

One week late in #watchmachina, Scanbo! Throwback to episode 31 and @samriegel.bsky.social's epic Scanlan rampage made of luck, quick thinking, and absolute chaos :D

a digital drawing made to look like a comic book cover, #31 in the "Vox Machina" series. It depicts a scene from episode 31 ("Gunpowder Plot") of the Vox Machina Campaign of Critical Role. Gnome bard Scanlan shorthalt is standing on the rooftop of a burning manor in the rain, grinning, with his right fist raised. His hand mirrors the giant purple Bigby's Hand floating directly above him. A crossbow bolt is sticking out from his shoulder and from his thigh. He's having the time of his life and is going to make it everyone's problem.

THANK YOU. It was really bugging me for some reason. On the cropped screenshot the cop on the right has something blue on his thumb that's absent from the actual photo in the actual article, it's good to be able to source and compare.

Belphegor (Pantxika) @frenchbelphegor.bsky.social · 3d

Sure, but my point still stands. Links are better than screenshots.

Just because an image is used in "a news story" doesn't mean either the whole article or the accompanying images aren't AI generated. That's why it's important to share links, not screenshots.

A little too perfect. This is AI generated (checked with huggingface.co/spaces/Ateeq...). Probably two photos mashed together.

Just came up on the Sun Tree reveal in #watchmachina! This scene, ooof. Just... 🤯😱

(do NOT repost. Anywhere. Found my last drawing on Facebook without any credit or source. They took it down since but just. Please don't.)

#voxmachina #criticalrole

A drawing made on paper with mostly black markers and a red one. It depicts an iconic and traumatising scene in the first campaign of Critical Role, Vox Machina. Trigger warning for mentions of hanging, a death of a child, and death of an animal. The characters (from left to right, Scanlan, Percy, Keyleth, Grog, Vax and Vex) are all shown reacting to the sight with absolute horror on their faces. What they see is stylised below: a massive tree with eight bodies hanging from there, including a tiny figure (a child) and a bear. The lines of the tree are red and turn into eight roots, two not quite reaching the (curved) bottom of the picture.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

They love their Pike so much ;____; (also I reread the last issue of Vol 4 of VM Origins and um. Is it Vol 5 day yet 😭)

Thanks a LOT 💖

Belphegor (Pantxika) @frenchbelphegor.bsky.social · Sep 3

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

POV: you died and wake up to your team staring at you like this :')

(wanted to draw Pike's pre-stream resurrection from her POV 💛)

a digital drawing of a pre-stream event of the first campaign of Critical Role, Vox Machina. Pike Trickfoot, the gnome cleric and heart of the team, has met a grisly end at the hand of a demon; fortunately her team was able to rush her to a temple and she was brought back to life. The drawing is from her point of view as she lies on the altar and her teammates - her family - stare at her in various stages of tearful amazement: from left to right Vax, Scanlan, Vex, Trinket, Percy, Keyleth, and Grog, with the temple interior in the background.

#watchmachina :o) Episode 17, "Hubris", after Grog suffers a crushing defeat against Kern:

SCANLAN: I go down and nurse him, nurse his head, hold him, and just tell him, "Grog, you won! You did it, buddy!"
GROG: I say nothing.
KEYLETH: I go up and rub on him and [meows].

🥺💜🥰

#criticalrole

a drawing made in black markers and coloured digitally of characters from the Vox Machina campaign of Critical Role. Grog, the goliath barbarian, has just been defeated in one-on-one combat and is not only bruised and bleeding, but crushed. Scanlan the gnome bard nurses his best friend's wounds and attempts to lifts his spirits, while half-elf druid Keyleth has transformed into a white sabertooth tiger and rubs against her giant friend to comfort him.

"Don't die until you're dead" has been a genuinely useful thought

What the heck is a "Notsobretheren" anyways? @notsobretheren.bsky.social · Jun 22

I'm going to be real.

Don't ever subscribe to the notion of "We're all doomed." over real world events, despite how reasonable it seems to do so.

You aren't doomed until you're dead or dying. Don't fall into that hole. Be the smallest amount of positivity that some people are needing right now.

Gilmore ✨ First time drawing him! You know, like Laura Bailey's name should always be accompanied/followed by harp music, Gilmore's name should always be accompanied/followed by a sparkle emoji. He's glorious, you guys 🥰

#criticalrole #criticalroleart

a drawing in black markers with added digital colours of Shaun Gilmore, proprietor of the magical shop Gilmore's Glorious Goods and beloved NPC of Critical Role. He wears robes with elaborate patterns around the sleeves and middle (the artist tried, anyway), a braided beard and hair, and a sunny smile. The drawing is in black and white, except for purple elements of clothing and the magic sparkling from his fingers.

fighting tears

a screenshot of the first several paragraphs of the quote-skeeted article, with the following paragraphs highlighted in yellow:

“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

On Wednesday, just days before her wedding, 25-year-old Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. Ten members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed.

The Israeli military said it had been a targeted strike on a Hamas member involved in attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians.
