can i just say, the depiction of delilah’s shadow hanging from the tree was an incredible touch??? and the latter manifestation of her as laudna herself, it was all genius. i’m loving the interpretation you’ve got of these scenes and always look forward to seeing more. amazing work!
@@morbidnumbskull Ultimately, I wonder if Laudna will have to make an important choice. A choice of whether she wants to live and thus ensure that Delilah will always be a danger… or whether she wishes to die of her own accord, ensuring that the scourge of Whitestone dies with her. She might end up choosing the latter, in spite of what her friends want. I just have that feeling that Laudna will not live to see the end of the campaign and thus sacrifice herself to end Delilah once and for all…
@@AdamEspersona That may be the case. But then again, Delilah is a necromancer. She could always create more undead servants, even while being dead herself! After all, she already "broke the world" once...
You know, when Ashton said that most of the group members were powder kegs in their own right, I don't think they realized how much they were right about Laudna. It's not just that she hear voices, she has one of the most dangerous necromancer of this age roamming around in her skull.
Damn right. Woman was on the Cerberus assembly at one point, then was run out only to wind up basically as the right hand to the newest god in the pantheon.
Fearne whispering 'Do you not want it' was *terrifying* last episode. I don't know if Fearne actually knows what's up with the stones other than Laudna and Imogen having one already. So this actively happening would be super malicious if she still understood the harm they do and gave them to the girls anyway.
I kinda got the vibe that Fearne is lookin at Imogen and Laudna like they're guinea pigs. She did some things to satiate her "I wonder what would happen" tendencies.
Fearne knows. She is a prankster, but her pranks are going to get someone killed. FCG words were right. I enjoy Ashley's performance because it is truly chaotic leaning on the evil side.
@@morbidnumbskull Fearne doesn’t know what the stone did to Imogen, she thought that Imogen just wanted a new rock. And so she did that, and gave Laudna one as well. But she certainly will find out one way or another, should the stones end up making things worse. (Ashley definitely realized it herself, but had to stay in-character.)
@@binder38us - fans seem to have trouble seperating Ashley from Fearne, and their separate responsibilities as actor and writer. Whileshe is playing Fearne, faerne does not know what the stones did to Laudna/Imogen, but Ashley does. Ashley is throwing an extra slice of "unsettle the shit out of everyone by saying exactly the wrong thing" but fearne was genuinely curious.
The best part was Deliah under the tree, again with that power flex of what she did to Laudna and her family. That was creepy and gave me chills. Thank you
Rather than echo all the other deserving praise, let me say how much I appreciate your depiction of environments. You have a clear mental image and render it beautifully.
@@rimurutempest4945 but yeah, League balancing team sucks, but the music department always delivers...like even the old champion themes sounds sooo good
Another god tier storyboard format with animation, this is getting better and better every video. Love the shadow depiction of Delilah has Laudna's shadow. BTW music and sound queue are insane.
When Laudna threatened Delilah that she may not have that lifeline through her for ever, I *really* hope Laudna isn't planning on any heroic self-sacrifice plays if she gets too strong...
Well I got Beau flashbacks, when she was ready to give up her time with the party for lifting Veth's curse. I just hope Laudna doesn't do anything like that.
holy fucking shit. not only the animation but the music choice and how you edited matts voice to sounds like THAT fucking horror. i literally got shivers
Delilah: "Not everyone's looking out for your well being like I am" (because she wants to ressurect via Laudna?) FCG: *the only thing they fear is you* intensifies Delilah, amazed at the the delightful lineup of these events: "told you so"
You really captured this scene very well. I love Warlock plots, or Warlock-like plots like we got with Percy, and Marisha does it very well with Laudna and Delilah.
Okay, that was creepy as hell already with the shadow and the voice and the flashbacks but then to have D mock Laudna's death by pretending to hang from a tree? _So_ the worst.
the changing of matts voice was a great touch! but the visuals! Just perfection how you put her in the tree to mimic Laudnas's death and then as a dark alternate shadow realm version of her! Loved it all!
animation was absolutely phenomenal, very unsettling - except i also definitely laughed at the shot of laudna running out of the cave because of the look on her face, so thank you for that, broke the tension just enough for me to properly enjoy the rest of the scene, haha
I love how you add music and sound effects to your animatics and animations. Really brings the scenes to life! Especially like the voice alterations for certain characters.
Holy cow! How do I describe this? The angles, the imagery, and the music chosen for this... *chef's kiss* Beautiful! Really expressed the tension of that scene between Laudna and Delilah! (I'm telling you, Laudna's a vessel for Delilah's return!)
I am ashamedly nowhere near even five episodes before this one. But Launda's story with Delilah as her Patron is worth every spoiler, can't ignore that!
Well done! I almost thought i was watching either the Twilight zone (and my head explode) or find out that undead Tallesin was pulling the strings. Excellent video!!
There is something deeply, viscerally horrifying about Laudna's position. Thanks for that gut-punch of the Delilah-shadow hanging from the tree by the way. Like, Orym was right about her being the happiest of the group, but her whole situation could take a very, very bad turn uncomfortably easily. And like others said, hot damn on that sound work. Cleverly and nicely done.
For half a moment there I thought Fearne was Keyleth, with her hand on Laudna's shoulders, and I was completely taken aback. Oh, how I would love to see a conversation between the Voice of the Tempest and our Living Dead Girl.
THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely LOVED the moment where the Delilah-Laudna shadow was hanged from the tree outside. What incredible attention to detail. And just the way Delilah moved, how you got her voice to sound so soft and ominous...Laudna's sharp teeth...that moment where Delilah WAS Laudna and cupped Laudna's face in her hand...oogh. Absolutely delicious, I eat it up, thank you
*blinks* Holy fuck. I just got done talking about how evil child poltergeists are scary AF and then I immediately watch this. If anyone needs me, I'll be under my blue blankie from childhood.

Crazy seeing two of my favorite critical role animators talking nice!

My theory, Laudna is like a horcrux.. as long as she doesnt die, Delilah will not truly pass away
Yes! That and the "dark Laudna" manifestation of Delilah are the best shots in this. :D
@@morbidnumbskull that’s truly the scariest part of it all 🥹 kinda dreading something that will likely happen at one point too

Fantastic job on the sound editing of Matt's voice for Delilah
It really sounds like Orthax from the cartoon
I love the little extras you add in. Everything feels like it fits so well together. Wonderful work!
Thank you so much!

"That trip to the bathroom was quick, what happened?"
"Undead girl's haunted."
"What?"
*loads gin* "Undead girl's haunted."

Man I am loving how much you’re using League themes, they’re all so good!
THEY'RE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@morbidnumbskull True
@@rimurutempest4945 but yeah, League balancing team sucks, but the music department always delivers...like even the old champion themes sounds sooo good
@@morbidnumbskull right? Rengar’s theme is a banger after all these years.
@Rimuru Tempest those rapid drum beats gets me hyped, like it's makin me wana break things 🤣
The last frame is a money shot. The audio is sooo good!!
Holy CRAP MORBID...this is Unsettling ( in a good way). The animation and the audio. *chef's kiss*
That Bel'Veth sound at the begining 👌
It’s insane how every League Champ themes are so goddamn good
Yo… I love how you blended Delilah’s voice. Whatever you did I could hear Matt but also hear Grey DeLisle-Griffen. So cool.
Not only did you capture that harrowing scene perfectly, you enhanced it ten fold! Great work with the sound!!!
That hanging from the tree shadow was a nice touch
Not just sound design, but the imagery. To quote one mister Widogast, Mein Gott.
The little detail of the noose marks on her neck was heartbreaking 👌
The Bel'Veth theme is an excellent touch.
Bel’Veth’s theme works so well for this scene
Amazing work. You managed to make that scene far more creepy and impactful with some subtle touches of sound work and animation. Chef's kiss👌
Thank you very much!
Another god tier storyboard format with animation, this is getting better and better every video. Love the shadow depiction of Delilah has Laudna's shadow. BTW music and sound queue are insane.
I love you for this ISTG. I hope Critical Role sees this and shines light on this.
This gave me mad goosebumps. So good!!!!!

@@RBRB431 Marisha attempted something like that as Beau, i wouldnt be surprised if she does that as Laudna
Sometimes I forget that her ears were reshaped into pointed ears. That last frame, was a cruel reminder... T_T
I know this was just posted, but it's a crime this doesn't have more views
this would probably get to 20k by the end of the week....if im lucky 😅
@@morbidnumbskull I hope It gets more, I don't typically watch this kinda stuff and it was recommended to me. So who knows
holy fucking shit. not only the animation but the music choice and how you edited matts voice to sounds like THAT fucking horror. i literally got shivers
We getting into the deep sh*t now boys. Keep up the amazing work Morbidnumbskull.
I'm team Delilah all the way 😁
Delilah: "Not everyone's looking out for your well being like I am" (because she wants to ressurect via Laudna?)
FCG: *the only thing they fear is you* intensifies
Delilah, amazed at the the delightful lineup of these events: "told you so"
This was so freaking GOOOOD
this is incredible! the sound design was amazing and the way you depicted Delilah as that shadow, especially hanging from the tree... wow!
Holy ghost. The audio, the animation, and the transition, are all lit!
You really captured this scene very well. I love Warlock plots, or Warlock-like plots like we got with Percy, and Marisha does it very well with Laudna and Delilah.
I actually screamed when I saw the frame at 1:06
Okay, that was creepy as hell already with the shadow and the voice and the flashbacks but then to have D mock Laudna's death by pretending to hang from a tree? _So_ the worst.
Holy dick. This is incredible. The shadow hanging from the tree is fucking haunting.
Every frame of this was perfect
01:09 That's mean and kind of cool at the same time
I'd like to think that D. is constantly taunting Laudna with visions
@@morbidnumbskull Totally, Laudna doesn't deserve that though
This is an amazing use of bel veth’s theme, bravo good animator from the internet!
Goated as always
I still don't know how to say "Isaha" 🤣
@@morbidnumbskull don't worry you'll learn eventually
Very tasteful use of the Bel'Veth theme. Your animation is lovely, and your take on this scene brings it to a whole new level!
Thank you very much!
I love how your vision intensified that scene!
the changing of matts voice was a great touch! but the visuals! Just perfection how you put her in the tree to mimic Laudnas's death and then as a dark alternate shadow realm version of her! Loved it all!
Looks like someone chose the bel veth theme
Beuatiful work as always, I always love seeing your art of Loud-na, 10/10 would watch roughly 8 more times 👍
Dammmmmm, this is amazing, thanks for all the effort!
*SO SPINE-CHILLING!!!*

Glad I didn't have to sleep for a few hours yet.😬
it's daytime in the scene... it's not scary 😅

The chills. Amazing as always.

This is marvelous as always.
yo this is incredible! great job!
AHHH god Delilah hanging from the tree 😭 that was so fucking good.
Morbid, you just keep getting better and better my dude. Keep it up! ❤️
I try :)
Seeing this animatic, Laudna, Delilah Briarwood and their interactions remind me of Lena and Magica de Spell from the DuckTales reboot.
Oh heck yes😮
These animations are amazing!!
Wowza!!! This was incredible and the way you enhanced Matt's voice to be more sinister as Delilah was AMAZING! So damn good!!
Laudna’s totally gonna have a big dramatic, self-sacrificing end when the Delilah shit hits the fan, I just KNOW it! So good!
so how are we feeling given recent events
best video you have made to date!
Wow, thanks!
There she is, Laudna, storyboard or animation, doesn't matter I love seeing them all! Including ones staring my favorite dead girl
Omg Delilahs voice
DAMN that split second shot with Delilah's shadow hanging from the tree. Just, D A M N !
Well done! I almost thought i was watching either the Twilight zone (and my head explode) or find out that undead Tallesin was pulling the strings. Excellent video!!
I love this animation style!
Amazing as always😉 really capturing the mood
algorithmic punch!
Thank you TK 😁
The imagery of Delalia was amazing. Really fits with the whole vibe.
I went back to watch one of your earlier videos and you’re improving so fast! Awesome as always
Very nice details in this one!
This is INCREDIBLE
One of your best :D
Delilah definitely trying to be a Mistress of secrets like Vecna. Talking in riddles.
Im on team Delilah this campaign
@@morbidnumbskull I'm liking how they are all a bit "off" except Captain Orym.
Gods this was felt like straight out of a manga or anime. I love it!!! Super unsettling !
This is incredible!
That was absolutely fucking fire good damn job holy crap!
That one line is still in my head.
"...from my distant, forgotten perch..."
WHERE BE DAT BISH
This is dope as hell! Great work!
Glad you like it!
This is so bloody good!

Yeaaahhhh buddy! Things are amping up with Delilah
😳 ok that took the Laudna level creepy up a notch ... AEWSOME!!! 😁❤❤❤
You know me, i will always up the ante whenever i can 😁
This is incredible
Bravo and making that 10 times creepier! 😱
This is absolutely amazing!!!
Chilling and delightful!
Based on this, I'd love to see what you would do with Laudnas Hunger of the Shadow.
Keep up the good work :D
