(...in april of the next year)
#daggerheart #swordtember2024 #ttrpg

As always these are not playtested at all. They're likely very broken. It's really just to make some fun art

So with Cr's campaign 3 ending it has this unique nostalgic feeling for me. This entire story has been played out in front of the set that I had originally concepted way back in 2021.

The rest of the monsterous cast
(2/2)
A hot Krampus. Big biceps, chiseled abs and pecs. Even a sexy trail of hair traveling into their torn pants and a long forked tongue for the monster fuckers (yeah I know you’re reading this) A vintage tree-topper doll. The head of a proclaim doll on an ornament with a cone of thin fabric “dress” shaped by wire. Their arms are decorative pipe cleaners and their hands are two large Christmas lights A muppetey looking green dragon with large creepy puppet eyes and thin hairy grinch hands. Their head is topped by hair shaped like a Christmas tree with ornaments. Wearing shorts with suspenders over a red knit sweater. If Kermit the frog was a dragon and had fused with the sport mascot Gritty.

Merry Christmas! If you’ve seen the Critical Role Critmas special I had the pleasure of designing the set and also the art of their monster forms!

#criticalrolespoilers
#criticalrole
A reindeer skull with Christmas lights tangled into the antlers and strung through the eye holes. The thin body covered in red hair with blue and white geometric designs. Deer legs stick out from torn jeans. They hold a wooden sled like someone would hold a skateboard. A very angry looking muscular gorilla bearing its teeth while wearing Santa red and white hat, loin cloth with suspenders and belt, and tall white fur trimmed boots. The gorilla is holding a pair of cymbals A snowman with sad looking coal eyes and metal “teeth” from large braces and corrective mouth gear. The snowman wears a clown looking hat and colorful collar with ornaments and colorful balls. A hunched skulking lithe looking yeti with long white hair partially covering their face. Chains wrap around both arms. One has an icicle forming at the end and the other has an ice ball with spikes on the end dragging on the ground.
