I’m very much not caught up on cr but that’s not gonna stop me from drawing new outfit art :p
I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
happy valentine's day, friends! 💜
a week or so ago i ran a bunch of polls on what kind of shadowgast picture i should draw for v-day, and y'all have helped me build something really fun! especially with the three winners of the color poll (purple, teal, and orange!). i don't know how much of a 'regular shadowgast' this picture has turned out to be (regular shadowgast are probably studying ancient tomes in a dusty library as we speak), but let's say that i am giving you the plot bunny gift of figuring out the setting of this scene 😏
tip jar!
Essek's expressions in the newest episodes have been so precious that i Had to draw some of them. these are only the TIP of the iceberg of all of my favorites, but gods willing i will draw more
special shout out to the confused puppy head tilt Essek did at Ashton's head, which is a mannerism i chose to headcanon he'd picked up from Caleb
tip jar!
Made a personal ref of them sorcerers. Imogen with a half cape can be something I will personally have fun with. I didn't change much of Laudna's design since it fits her really well, I just add a high collar, just because. :)
from a wee bit ago, while watching the cr bg3 vod ^_^
[image description: 2 digitally coloured pencil drawings of critical role characters. the first is of ashton, leaning on their elbows, smirking and and flipping someone off, labelled 'to chet'. the second image is a portrait of caduceus, based on his level 20 design. he is smiling slightly and looking to the side. end ID]
all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.
kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on
DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS
this is a pic a drew in november and then scrapped cause i'd made a bunch of mistakes right at the start, but today i opened it again and thought yeah it can be salvaged. spruced it up a lil bit and cropped the thing too. as one is wont to do of course
Vax made his himself after seeing Vex's
[ID: A digital illustration of Dorian Storm, Orym and Fearne Calloway from Critical Role. They’re all injured from a fight, Orym more hurt than the others. Dorian and Fearne are crouching, Dorian holding Orym while Fearne heals both Dorian and Orym. From out of frame someone says “Wow, you three must really love each other, huh?”. All three glare at the person out of frame and simultaneously respond “Yeah, no shit!”. End description.]
A commission I did for the lovely @all-made-of-stardust!
does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man's neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for "curly hair in medieval paintings". it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it's so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don't wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something
