I'm really loving this new Critical Role campaign so here's an animatic from the first episode! My Tumblr- / apricatt-art Audio belongs to Critical Role (Go watch it!!)
There is nothing I love more than the trope of a tiefling PC introducing themselves by casting Thaumaturgy and it being generally quite awkward because they hyped up their amazing magical powers or it just flat out isn't appropriate for the situation. Reminds me of when my first PC, an NG tiefling rogue, cast Thaumaturgy to show off to the party's wizard. I really wish the DM hadn't cancelled the campaign before we got to 3rd level which would have allowed me to unleash Hellish Rebuke and be all "who's magically handicapped now??!?"
That reminded me of my first campaign when a tiefling PC cast Thaumaturgy to trick my drunk-as-shit half-orc PC into leaving a tavern before I started a fight. Also it's really weird and also amazing that this trope is a Thing, apparently.
My Tiefling Barb usesThaumaturgy at the beginning of every fight to make her voice boom across the battlefield. She also was the commander of a Merc Unit once, where that also came in quite handy.
I made a tiefling wizard, but I didn't choose any combat spells at first level. I wanted to be useful in a fight we had with some goblins and wanted to help out our paladin who was fighting one of them. So I made a branch behind the goblin scream. In the paladin's voice. For a whole minute.
I just started watching campaign 2 -- just finished 1 -- and yeah, she's stealing the show. Laura was funny but Vex was boring in campaign 1. Now Laura and her character get to be funny. Good change.
to add to my growing appeal of jester a few days ago was sydney supanova, one of our conventions, and in the artist ally was a woman dressed as jester with fake horns and blue facepaint and it was wonderful and even better, i turned to my friend who i had shown this clip but who otherwise isnt much for d&d and was referencing it when the artist piped up and said 'that wasnt me, it was just very windy that day'
the accent makes the character in many ways id say, the exotic (to us western people) accent compliments the nonhuman teifling, and the voice really fits the cheerful demeanor of said tiefling\
One time I met somebody from Quebec and their voice sounded just like hers, so maybe it’s a French Canadian accent. (I’m Canadian, but live in Ontario and don’t interact with people from other provinces very often, so I don’t know.)
this. this is the animatic that got me into critical roll. and i have been blessed for many many mooms because of it. i've been a critter for nearly a year because of this, and i have loved every moment since then. thank you, friend, thank you so much.
I'm an occasional viewer. They're great people, and the Critter community is one of the nicest I've ever seen on the internet. I just don't really have the time to go through over 600 hours of video content.
@@EightThreeEight it's not video content if you just listen to it in the background while doing something else Also, you don't have to start from Campaign 1, though that's what I did and I loved it
0:45 While it doesn't reach that part of the scenario, I know EXACTLY which one of those patrons gives the solitary slow round of applause after Jester's "performance".
You have earned another subscriber. I love the Mighty Nein rendered in your style! And this scene is one of the ones that helped sell me on the new characters in the first place, so it holds a special place in my heart.
I'm at like episode 86 or 87 of Campaign 1 and I'm so excited for Campaign 2 just cause the new cast looks so fun. That said, the adventures of the Darrington Brigade have only just begun.
I don't know what Critical Role is but I am looking it up right away. Both the art and the story were adorable and hilarious. The guy just clapping and cheering at the end had my sides hurting after they were reminded to "keep a low profile". lol
I think it would be awesome to watch the person playing the character that was casting the spell to see what they would do while playing an assassin or thief.
I once used thaumaturgy to slam 2 ton stone doors on an encounter meant to kill us, completely slaughtering 4 enemies at level 2, and they couldn’t do anything to stop it
My guess is Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian, etc) or maybe from Farsi. I have a boss from Russia that sounds like that, and I had a teacher from the Iran who sounded like that. Unfortunately, they don't have cute personalities like her.

I like to imagine that a couple people in the tavern were running around the carnival wondering where her show was.
Probably came a bit later on. You know. They just couldn't stay for that part.
Was probably after the devil toad act

What should it be else?
@@Commie-Comrade that's the point.

Its probably a kentucky thing...

Thaumaturgy's uses- quantity over quality.
I used that to introduce myself the first time I played dnd 💀I yelled at a poor dwarf lady

Amazing. The art in this matches it so well, my favorite part is Beau appluding at the end :p
Codeman70000 Thank you! (That part was a lot of fun to draw!!)
I don’t know what that accent is but I love it.
RedTheBard it's actually Romanian
its Tali reincarnated as a lovable teifling cleric
Fuck you. Now I can't unhear it as Tali.
Generally speaking, it's Eastern European.
That cluster of countries between Germany and Asia/Russia.
It's Gru... Totally Gru from the Despicable Me movies...😓

It strikes me as more of a Slavic/Baltic accent.
I think she’s going for Draenei, which... aren’t DISSIMILAR to Tiefling.
@@The5lacker Draenei are the source of the best r34 tbh.
She sounds so adorable when put to that innocent cartoon character.

Same, but starting now
This is excellent work and makes that scene even more delightful!
Paul Charvet Wow, I'm glad you like it! :)
Not familiar with Critical Rolls at all, but this animation makes me want to check them out.
imo it's hilarious but humour is subjective
It's really fun they'll be getting a animated show in the near future
Alexander Vaucrosson Ugggghhhhh I'm DYING to see it! Can't wait!!

Welcome, fellow critter.
0:45 While it doesn't reach that part of the scenario, I know EXACTLY which one of those patrons gives the solitary slow round of applause after Jester's "performance".
Man this is fun to come back to. This is the animatic that convinced me to start watching CR.

Thaumaturgy is my favorite spell, both ironically and unironically
Oh my gosh.
I've never even watched Critical Roll and already I love this cute tiefling.
Your animatics are my favorite. The characters facial expressions and timing of the storyboards is just perfect with each sequence. Thank you
Not gonna lie, if they made a show about this, I would watch every episode of it
Critical role... Literally a show this is from?
OH BOI YOU’RE IN LUCK
@B0bby WAIT IS SOMEONE MAKING A SHOW?!
@@alissalake3945 my dude, it's been a show for two seasons now.
Guys they meant an animated show. But yeah you don't have to wait for that to watch it
This is some really nice art.
I love the fact that when someone asked her what she can do at a tavern around ep 54 I think, she did the same thing
This is brilliant- loving the way you animated Beau's facial expression at the end especially!!
YES!! Great timing and expressions! I love this so much. XD it enhances the comedic timing of the players so well!
I'm at like episode 86 or 87 of Campaign 1 and I'm so excited for Campaign 2 just cause the new cast looks so fun. That said, the adventures of the Darrington Brigade have only just begun.
OMG Jester
This is honestly one of the best cantrips in the game
This holds a special place in my heart as being my first exposure to Critical Role, randomly clicking on it while watching DnD animations and stories.
I just love her expression at 0:57 when she wants to close the windows. 😊
This is amazing!! Really impressive art of Jester! Love her expressions.
Noel Burton Thank you she's a lot of fun to draw!! :)
This was the moment i knew Jester would be my favorite C2 character😂
Jester is best waifu 2018
OrangeyChocolate ugh
No accounting for taste, I suppose. :)
Fjord is better
I must politely disagree. 😌
but Fjord is quite cool
I know nothing about Critical Role but I am in love with Jester
Beau's hype cracks me up every time
1:07 God, Beau is such a lad
Great team, immersive GM and neat roleplaying, better than theater!
WOW! I love your style. This is pretty much how the scene played out in my head. I hope you're inspired to do more of these. :D
Kat White Aw thank you!! :) (And I'm actually working on another one right now!)
This is beautiful and made me laugh harder than the original podcast omg
I don't know what Critical Role is but I am looking it up right away. Both the art and the story were adorable and hilarious. The guy just clapping and cheering at the end had my sides hurting after they were reminded to "keep a low profile". lol
(in case you dont know after a month)
The clapping and cheering gal at the end is Beau the human monk.
Oh my gods this is wonderful
thaumaturgy is one of my favorite spells
No situational awareness: a common affliction many player characters suffer from, from time to time.
This is awesome, keep up the great work!!
I really love how you draw the mighty nein!!
The way you draw Jester is my favorite~ well done! :D
i just started watching CR but omg you animated my favorite part! i was in tears XD
U should be proud, this is what got me into critical role!!this is amazing
1:08 One of my favourite Beau moments!
That ending was adorable lol :)
I loved jester so much, I miss her a lot
She is one of my favorite ! LOL Jester and Nott together rock the show.
I love thaumaturgy so much, but only because Jester makes it the funniest thing.
Hey, good job on drawing that many other people in the tavern!
I think it would be awesome to watch the person playing the character that was casting the spell to see what they would do while playing an assassin or thief.
That's kinda canon, actually. Laura Bailey, who plays Jester, also played Vex, a multi-classed Rogue and ranger.
@@KaylaKasel
And Vex certainly stole some things in her time. ;)
I'm reminded of Lancelot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"Sorry! Sorry. Sorry!"
They are so cute omg
With Jester around, things tend to get dangerously Jeeze-y.
God, I love Jester. She's my favorite character.
Congratulations on the 1 MILLION views!
Oh my God, she's adorable!
this was the moment i fell in love with beau and jester
Your style makes Jester look so cute!
Wow, i really like your drawingstyle!
I love your art style omg
That one friend who doesn't give a fuck.
Freaking Beau “YEAAAAAHH!”
Beau going "YEEEAAAAAAHHH"
Yeah! YEAAAAH!
Ah damn, I love this, but part of me wishes you added the old crinkled man giving the single clap at the end.
I once used thaumaturgy to slam 2 ton stone doors on an encounter meant to kill us, completely slaughtering 4 enemies at level 2, and they couldn’t do anything to stop it
I love this spell
What kind of an accent is that? It's awfully cute.
My guess is Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian, etc) or maybe from Farsi.
I have a boss from Russia that sounds like that, and I had a teacher from the Iran who sounded like that. Unfortunately, they don't have cute personalities like her.
Middle Eastern, like Tali from Mass Effect
I find it similar to French Canadian
@@drenchedinsyrupp6059 Its eastern European like Romanian People when they speak english with their accent.
Jester is an air bender *CONFIRMED*
I'll never not love this.
Nice saving throw.
Jester is adorable
This is basically what I do with this spell.
The best spell to use indoors
Beau supporting Jester from day 1
I love this.
Gotta love Jester
This is awesome
YEAAAHHH!
I once used thaumaturgy to make some little fire imps worship me.
Shes an airbender!
This is great
Meanwhile all I use thaumaturgy to change my eye color
Beau is a great hypewoman
Ohhh Jester. Why do you have to be so. Darn. Cute?!
Beau: "yEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!"
Laura channeling her inner Tata Strong; sounding like Paz
Nice work!
Yeah this was the same situation when I was in my roleplay session
Of course it wasn’t my character that was in trouble
Trinston was here .
Haven't even watched the second campaign yet...but I think I might know who my favorite character is!
aamazing animatic!!
Come see me tonight, I'm really good.
