Our journey with the Bells Hells is ending tomorrow! Now feels like a good time to do this.





39 looks across 25 different characters, and that’s not even all of them!
From the moment I started working with Critical Role, I’ve been keenly aware of the privilege of my position. Not many artists get to experience the joy of seeing their designs cosplayed, drawn, loved, or even hated at the level I have. Every pitch, every sketch, every hour banging my head against every long render- it’s all been such a gift.
I’ll be eternally grateful for the years that the Lucky One was Me.
So sail on, Bells Hells. I’ll see you all the next time I’m in Exandria.

vat7k fandom will you accept me
#vat7k#varian and the seven kingdoms#nuru and yongs outfits are so mid i wish i liked them more but nuru's original silhouette was really killing me#and. don't let me speak about yongs initial design. i wont get into it#am i saying my redesigns are better. no. i did it for me#hopefully u guys r .. ok with it... sniff#ive been lurking and the creators here are so sweet so i feel a little bad being any form of critical abt the material..#the amt of headcanons i have is unreal#but i think it can be summarized as: hugo has problems and then he realizes everyone is worse#nuru's spread looks so emptyyy but she's actually my favorite please believe me#2025#sketches#fanart

Full art is probably gonna happen too, but for now: I LOVE CROKAS 😭
When Alex described his four-legged walk I just could not resist to turn the gator energy on his design to the max

I know the district spelling bee hated to see her coming
#becky botsford#word girl#wordgirl#tobey mccallister#fixating heavy on word girl and the little einsteins rn it's bad for me#one time at work I met a guy who worked on the little einsteins#like he animated rocket#and I squealed on the spot#needless to say I did not have any work friends after they witnessed that#owlperoart#tobecky#the m/f ship to ever exist I will not be taking criticism at this time#anyways my bluesky has little einsteins & cyberchase art I will not be bringing here. go look there if you must#i'm not married to this suit design for becky but I don't use a lot of red/orange in my art so she's fun to draw in any case#digital art#teenaged word girl being a case study on gifted kid burnout or something

I’ve been losing my mind over these guys recently
#transformers#humanformers#decepticons#Starscream#skywarp#thundercracker#Soundwave#shockwave#wavewave#seekers#a lot of these are unfinished cause my iPad started overheating 😭#idk how actual pilot uniforms are supposed to look- tbh I just worked off one ref image + some from top gun#I don’t really want it the fits to look too similar to any existing uniforms cause I’m not trying to imply anything#anyway- thundercracker has honestly turned out to be my potential favorite??#I’m not sure yet cause I basically love all the main decepticons but fr it might be thundercracker#but it’s okay- I don’t HAVE to pick one fave I suppose#ughhh transformers has been such a nice change of pace from mk cause what is even going on over there??#I’m only excited for the t1000 and I’ve been DYING waiting for him to be playable#terminator 2 honestly in my top 10 movies and t1000 in top ten villains tbh#Robert Patrick did such a phenomenal job it just hasn’t been topped#but yeah wtf is even going on in mk?? like who the flying fuck asked for Conan??#but anyway I should probably actually draw either prime or tf one#I just love g1 so much plus the designs are literal squares it’s so much easier 😭#I’m also just attached to who whimsical it is? such simpler times#I think transformers tries to hard to be dark and brooding sometimes#which is my main criticism for how Optimus is in prime but that’s a whole nother conversation#I will say though prime did a good job of converting the dark bayverse designs#and making them fun an appealing to look at#doodle#my art

He only gives cloaks to those he really really cares about, Keyleth. Really cares about.
Mid-campaign look with a closeup under the cut :)
#some more basic “characters posing in a void” art trying to figure out my specific vision of them#I feel boring always drawing them the same cause other people have such creative designs but I just love kit buss’s OG works so much#they're just gorgeous and will always be how I see vm... so much charm#and listen. anything that’s not the lovm versions is good in my book#insert “show me the real deathwalker's ward” meme here#critical role#vox machina#vaxleth#vax'ildan#keyleth#critical role fanart#cr1#valentine's piece next hehe 💘

Just a little thing I did to fight insomnia and art block
In tarot the Fool represents naivety, new beginning, and taking leaps of faith.
