I am having waaaay too much fun with this! Laudna's completely off-her-rocker energy, plus lion fish body (the second in my life, and in this year), and Pâté being half fish instead of half rat.
I'll probably post (at least some) early sketches and wips on Discord in the future, rather t...

I had so much fun with this! And cursed the scales on his tail about five hundred and sixty times.
I also changed the design of the shield so it doesn’t serve as quite a dramatic brake. 😂
Not sure how many of these I’ll do, but I have a great idea for Laudna, and my daughter i...

Dorian being buried under his ExU besties, Orym and Fearne, as he returns to Bells Hells.
Can’t wait to see what his new outfit will look like next week. I’ll be very selfish here and hope he’s ditching the ridiculous wing chestpiece. It's a nightmare to render and draw in perspectiv...

Here's the first of the cutie-pie mermaids! Done in Holbein coloured pencils (with a magnifying glass; that went halfway well). I just hope I have enough eyesight left for today to mark some English exams now. XD

I'll finish up these three cuties as individual images, I think. Did a thick outline becaue that might help with the coloured pencil. We'll see how that goes!

Of course I never planned to do Mermay, so here I am on 2nd May thinking, hey, I want to do mermaids! Really, really cute mermaids.
I'm even thinking of trying out some coloured pencil again…

It’s hilarious to see how several Orym-loving artists on social media have been posting Dorym kiss scenes as warm-up for Thursday. We'd all be so disappointed if it didn’t happen. 😆
But hey, the art is here to stay.

Next Thursday, I hope our favourite halfling will get his blue boy back. Orym's seemed so desperate in the last few sessions that I would be very surprised if we didn't get at least a fierce hug. Until then, I'll practice my kissy poses. 3D models in Clip Studio are once again my friend, although...

Can I ask how much spoiler warning you'd like? I know that about 70% of you don't follow Critical Role, so that's not a question for you, but for the Critters among you, is what I'm doing okay for you?

Did the moor landscape in the waiting room (reminds me of Northern Germany) and the other one last night. I'm utterly in love with the foliage brush I used on the trees! I made it months ago and never really used it, but it's fantastic for this.
