I love that I'm seeing people on Twitter who's response to the "new world" bit of the C4 announcement is "it's UNFAIR that C3 had CROSSOVER elements where the previous groups STOMPED ALL OVER THE CAMPAIGN, and now BELLS HELLS don't get to ruin the next campaign for the new group and its fans!!!"

Truly the most crab bucket fandom of all time, lol. Imagine sincerely mourning not getting to inflict your own frustration on another group of people.

personally I think this is great. the current major campaign formula was clearly not really working anymore so a major shake up should bring in some fresh energy and ideas. I'd rather have cr transform that grow stale. and there's always c2 to be rewatched if you want "old" cr at its peak.

ever since TLOV premiered I wanted to have a shot at a whole Vox Machina lineup, so I've been working on this on and off. i mixed all my favorite bits from their official designs (the campaign art, the comics and the tv show) and challenged myself to keep it simple enough for animation (although i ended up forgetting and putting too much detail in some places). also tried to give their designs a cohesive color scheme, mostly browns and blue.

yapping continues below!

Percy: included the extra glasses lenses, because they're truly iconic. his hair isn't totally white as a callback to his original portrait, and he also looks a lot more unkempt and tired, as I imagine Orthax is sicking nightmares on him constantly to feed his vengeful thoughts. he has his original two guns, the List and Bad News, and his spooky mask hanging on his belt.

Vex'ahlia: she and Vax look much more identical (i know they're fraternal twins but it's more fun this way!). Her makeup is inspired by Laura's from the cosplay opening and is meant to look a little messy, and she wears colors that are appropriate to hide in a forest, mostly browns and a green cloak. The striped shorts are a nod to the original design.

Grog: back to his actual giant height! i almost gave him black marks like he had in the OG art and the comic, but kept it blue to match with the rest of the group. His axe is tied to his wrist in a simplified version of the chain of returning, and he has the bag of holding on him.

Trinket: it's VERY important to me that Trinket look cute! I gave him one of Vex's feathers to link their designs, and he also has a little collar to show that he's tamed and not, you know. a brown bear on the lose in the city

Scanlan: his design intentionally has a lot less brown and blue than the others as a nod to his feelings of being set aside by the others. I almost kept his stupid puffy shorts from the original art, but it felt too ostentatious for the start of the story. I always loved his longer hair though so I kept that, and he has his flute, lute, and hand cone within reach.

Pike: Vax put her hair up in fun buns :) there's not much to say here except that I really wanted her body type/silhouette to show her physical strenght, and contrast with Scanlan's scrawny body.

Vax'ildan: his silhouette mirrors Vex's perfectly. He's wearing a pelt like hers, their capes have the same diagonal cut, and their boots are similar. Although he wears dark, he's not in full black yet. Simon is there of course :)

Keyleth: TALL and lanky as she used to be before they cowardly made her short! She wears more blue, the color of the Air Ashari, and some green, since she's already completed her earth trial, and she has airy cloth things to flow in the wind. Her design is mostly based on the comics and tv show, but i added the butterflies from her original portrait.

I've been working on a second version of the lineup, from the last episode, which includes every magic item they've gathered over the campaign (and also Tary). perhaps i'll complete it one day...

Actual Stupid Pointless Bullshit by Game System

D&D: There's a purely good aligned spell that only good people can use. It causes an extremely contagious disease that makes people so horny they straight up die.

World of Darkness: Scientists radiate an aura of pure boringness so strong it kills pixies and that's why you don't see pixies anymore.

Chronicles of Darkness: "Actually, the psychic abuse monsters spawned from our nightmares are doing us a favour by beaming our worst fears directly into our brains until we die."

Call of Cthulhu: Fetishes are on the Insanity Table that you randomly roll on when you lose sanity so there's a chance you see Cthulhu and immediately develop a foot fetish so intense you have to be hospitalised.

Powered By The Apocalypse: Mechanically, everyone is pansexual. Everyone has to be pansexual. If you don't want to be pansexual, tough! We're married and you're in love.

Pathfinder: Inexplicable archfiend who specifically embodies the act of luring children into dark alleyways with candy to kidnap them.

Mutants and Mastermind: "So, we need enemies for a silver age superhero comic book game. What we got?" "Well, I've statted up a super-scientist gorilla, and an evil clown, and the vengeful souls of everyone killed in the very real Hiroshima Bombings. How's that?" "Yeah, that all seems tonally consistent."

Warhammer 40k: Hoo boy, how much time you got?

Warhammer: I don't think I can top vaporizing the fucking setting and killing everyone in the world for copyright reasons.

Oh yeah there's a part 2 of the horse desensitizing that I love.

🐎: Hey what's with that tiny predator, the one you're hold- WOAH WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS IT UP SO HIGH

I’d like to make a formal apology. I was young, and blinded by nostalgia, and could not have possibly guessed how hacky their inclusion would get by the end of the campaign. Learning and learning. Growing from my mistakes.

“Well actually bringing back old PC’s as major npc’s is too distracting and takes away fr-“

See that I don’t care, fan service is good, actually.

i love pappy very much

One of the small things I’m grateful for, is that the song “Good luck babe” didn’t come out until after campaign 2 finished airing. Fantastic song though

[isuara-ez]

actually i still think it’s crazy that orym just said “no one here can guarantee that the actions they are proposing will not cause devastation on a cosmic scale, until we can then i am not interested in entertaining said proposals at all” and a lot of people went ohhhh my god. this guy is so annoying
