I tried to emulate the Vox Machina and Mighty Nein animated styles for this quick one, something I've wanted to try for a while.

Needed to chill out so I did this instead of dealing with IRL pressing matters (i.e. I have a tooth abscess and am not feeling 100% today) 😩👍
A screenshot from Critical Role campaign 4 episode 5, of Matthew Mercer and Luis Carazo playing a scene as their characters. The dialogue is the same as in the fan art above.

That conversation between Azune and Julien was MEATY. What do they know that we don't? :)
(CR 4x05 "Branching Paths")

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #CriticalRoleArt #art 🖼️ #criticalrolespoilers
A screenshot style-fan art of Critical Role characters Julien and Azune talking, in a scene from campaign 4 episode 5. They are speaking off to the side in a dimly-lit area in front of a masonry and plaster wall. Both are standing with their arms crossed: Julien's posture and expression are fully defensive and angry, while Azune's is slightly more open but direct. The subtitles/caption, of Azune's dialogue, reads, "So are you just reckless, or do you have a death wish?".

This Megaloceros stag's posing here almost looks like an intentional homage to "The Monarch of the Glen" (1851, Edwin Landseer)
(though not that closely related, similarly majestic)

#PrehistoricPlanet #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge
On the left, a screenshot of the Megaloceros from Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age; on the right, the 1851 painting "The Monarch of the Glen". The images are put together side by side to compare the posing as it is very similar, as if the Megaloceros is posed as a reference to the red deer in the painting, down to their withers and line of their backs and necks lining up

South Island giant moa my beloved

A composite meme: on the left, a screenshot from Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age showing a male and female South Island giant moa; on the left, a screenshot meme from Resident Evil Village showing Heisenberg (who is a normal height) and Dimetrescu (who is 9 feet tall), used frequently as a meme about very tall women

3/3 It's not canonical given Aranessa BOOKED it out of there barefoot while screaming at everyone to run (queen shit), but you know, VIBES
You can't see it well in the size above but his expression is abject horror/grief at the extermination of his entire family:

2/3 -knightly-themed paintings like "The Accolade" (Leighton) or adjacent vibes like "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" (Dicksee), but instead of calmly showing fealty is clutching his face with the gauntlet, in grief/shock following the events of this episode. :)

Lady and Knight (CR 4x04 "Stone-Faced")

Sir Julien Davinos, what shall you do with yourself now?

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #DnD #cr4 #art 🖼
#crspoilers #criticalrolespoilers
A painting/drawing fan art of Julien Davinos from Critical Role, and the NPC Aranessa Royce. The piece is themed after episode 3 of the campaign, where Houses Royce and Davinos were attacked at Palazzo Davinos. Julien is kneeling before Aranessa as in many classical or historical or masters paintings of knights and women. However, instead of kneeling in fealty he is grasping his face in shock and grief. Both are spattered with blood. The setting is a dark palace courtyard with blood on the cobblestones. The overlay of the image is a cracked mirror in the wall of the palace courtyard, with the scene viewed through the cracked glass.

Patch notes lol
This will hopefully be the final version needed to lay out the entire PC cast unless some wild reveal dramatically changes things about it!
An image that is a list of patch notes/changes for the Thjazi Fang (Critical Role Campaign 4) chart above): Added portraits and player names to each Player Character, Added a star to show who was part of the rescue plot, Added various more friend and beef lines, and additionally added a familiarity type for when PCs know each other/other figures, Confirmed that Alogar is Halandil's blood son, Refined the connections between Wicander and Halandil, Refined the connections between Tyranny, her family, and the Halovars, Adjusted the connections between Occtis, Thjazi, and Thaisha, Refined the connection between Teor, Kattigan, Azune, and Thjazi, Added the missing connections involving Murray and Thimble, Refined Bolaire's connections to Thjazi (enemies in recap) and others, ‎ ‎ Added Hala and the Shadow Creature, Added another line to indicate that Vaelus is directly Thjazi's enemy (stated in recap), Shifted around some of the existing lines to accomodate new ones and increase general readability, Some lines now overlap so made sure they have a gap for readability, Considering making the canvas bigger if a V3 is needed with more characters because things are starting to get crowded. Probably something I forgot to write down here but is on the chart

Here's v2!
It has tweaks from replies re: V1, and new info from the recap, transcript, cooldown, and cross-checking from the wiki (🥰). In thread: family trees and patch notes lol

It's mostly refinements to Thjazi and the PCs' connections. :)

Also, look how bit Thimble is compared to Teor:
A size comparison made with the MrInitialMan size comparer of Teor, who is around 7 feet tall, and Thimble, who is 4 inches tall. Ears and wings have been drawn onto them.

Three dilfs, two weird dogs equal to about 2.1 normal dogs, and two traumatised teenagers conduct an investigation

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #DnD #cr4 #art 🖼
A drawing of several characters from Critical Role campaign 4 standing in a line together. This is after they rescued Thimble. Teor is holding a crying Thimble in his clasped palms while looking pensively at Azune. Azune returns the look. Occtis is standing with his hands clasped looking alarmed and surrounded by exclaimation marks, with his fox Pincushion on his shoulder. Pincushion has a caption, "wii shop music". Last is Kattigan smiling as he pets Wufric, who has the caption, "dial up sounds". They are drawn in a silly low-detail/semi chibi flat style.

After scouring too many sources (the wiki pages, various articles, chatter, and the VOD itself), here is a chart of ALL the main player characters' relationships to Thjazi Fang and each other, as best as I could determine them (so far).

He's right there, Tyranny
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #DnD #cr4 #art 🖼
A fan art drawing of Wicander and Tyranny from Critical Role campaign 4. Wicander is a young man with olive skin and white to blue hair while Tyranny is a bubblegum pink tiefling-like demon. Both are wearing teal robes. Tyranny is saying, "he sucks", while Wicander stands right behind her looking embarrassed/annoyed.

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #DnD #cr4 #art 🖼
A silly fan art drawing of Teor and Occtis from Critical Role. Teor is a giant lion man, he is saying, "Nice to meet you?"; Occtis is a young man depicted as a startled chibi from a high angle, he is saying/thinking, "holy shit a lion guy".

Kattigan Vale, "mysteriously" popular on social media

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #DnD #cr4 #art 🖼
A piece of fan art for Critical Role campaign 4. It is a drawing of Kattigan Vale taking a selfie with his dog/wolf. On the left side is a mockup social media interface similar to Instagram, showing Kattigan's post "Walk your Dog 👍" and a comment from each member of the rest of the cast: Bolaire: "no one's looking at the dog"; Thimble (replying): "I'm looking at the dog"; Julien: "🍈🍈"; Murray (replying): "🍈🍈"; Teor: "👍👊"; "Azune: "Great day for a walk"; Thaisha: "People PAY for images like this Kattigan. They pay a LOT"; Tyranny: "Why? Walk where?"; Occtis: "They rely on us after all :)"; Halandil: "Rad, cherish every moment"; Wicander: "pupper happy to be included"; Vaelus: "Hey Ara-Search, how do I comment on someone's post.........."

I have two theories for what lies beneath Bolaire's mask:

A: Glamithers (Glamorous Withers)
B: Reducard (Red Alucard)

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #art 🖼
An image of Bolaire is at the top. Below, labelled A and B, are two interpretations of what's under Bolaire's mask: a lich ("Ramesses II's mummy"), or a pretty elf ("red alucard")
