Fanart of Critical Role Campaign Four. Every player character and their familiar is shown in a paneled grid. On the top left are Bolaire and Murray looking down towards her mage hand. Top center, Julien turns his back on Thaisha in anger. Top right, Occtis looks up towards Vaelus in surprise as she places a hand over his chest. Center left, Kattigan smirks beside Wulfric. Bottom left, Thimble sits in profile sadly looking towards Thjazi's wedding ring. Center frame Hal steps determinedly forward with Azune at his side. Center right, Teor looks down pensively as Pin looks up. Bottom right, Wick looks just off camera in concern, Tyranny smiling faintly at his side.

ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

A digital painting of Keyleth from critical role sitting on some rocks at the foot of a big tree. She wears a long green dress and on her shoulders is a mantle made of leaves that fade from green to yellow to red as it falls down her shoulders. Her red hair is crowned with a circlet and two antlers.

A digital painting of SILAHA from critical role: downfall. He is a blue automaton with glowing orange eyes and gold accents on his body. His hand is reaching out towards the viewer, about to grab an amber glass vial. The distorted image of an eye and a hand is reflected in the glass vial.

A mother polar bear and two cubs. The cubs are leaving their den for the first time. One only pokes its head out while the other stands on its hind legs to look around. The mother stands further back but watches them over her shoulder. The northern lights glimmer in the sky, casting colored light onto the three bears, and the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are visible beyond the lights.

A master study of John Singer Sargent’s β€œA Capriote” with Ylfa from dimension 20 painted in over the woman in the original painting. A young woman leaning against a tree with her arm wrapped around it. She has dark wolf ears and a red hooded cape is draped over the tree. A wolf fades into the dark forest background.

Drawing of a rooster stepping away with one leg in the air while looking back at you. He is made of quick black ink strokes with colours underneath ranging from red, yellow, blue to green. There's a twig or a feather in its beak.

A painting of Harrow from the Locked Tomb series painted in the style of an orthodox icon. She’s a young woman with short black hair, dark eyes, and brown skin, wearing corpse paint on her face and an iridescent white shawl. She’s holding a skull and there’s a halo around her head.

Digital painting of Nott the Brave/ Veth Brenatto from the Mighty Nein, with a cracked glass effect going through the middle of the figure--the right side of the glass is Veth's design, the left is Nott, with the background colours inverted.

Still exploring this manga linework style, heavily influenced by Tite Kubo.
Here’s Imogen Temult from Critical Role, drawn on Procreate using the Liffey brush, and at double the resolution of my other pieces (4128x5504) to experiment.
