I think I finished the Caduceus illustration I've been working on. I'm not 100% happy with it but I'm happier than I was last night so I'm calling it good for now.
He's in his home in the Blooming Grove, which was described as stone building with an arched window that used to have glass but doesn't anymore (I don't remember the exact phrasing but I listened to that scene while I was planning this drawing). It makes me sad to think of him alone for so long in a place that is falling apart, waiting for someone to come so he can leave.
Below the cut are some progress images and an explanation of why the photo quality is poor.
I apologize for the poor photo quality, but I don't have access to a scanner currently. I will upload a better quality version if I figure that out (my college has a scanner in the library but you have to bring stuff to a librarian to scan and that makes me anxious because I think it's intended for homework. May or may not be brave and bring it in to scan later this week!).
So many thumbnail sketches! With a bonus Yasha and Beau doodle because I needed a break.
I taught myself to use Sketchup for this and then didn't even end up using the layout I made, but the sketch from that is the top right one in the third photo.
The initial sketch of the illustration is on the left. The right photo is the second version of the sketch (I uploaded it to my computer and made changes in Clip Studio).
Left is a quick grayscale version on the computer so I knew what I wanted my values to be. Right is a photo of the finished colors before line art (I later went back and upped the contrast/shadows).
And here is the finished illustration again!

Critical Role Wiki
Josh
“he was accidentally created by joy, a witch who was trying to make a potion and maybe added too many mushrooms? which somehow lead to the creation of a sentient mushroom boy. he has the cognitive and language skills of an average adult, however is clueless about 90% of things and is constantly like "sorry, im gonna need you to back up and explain what an 'economy' is". he co-founded a restaurant chain with his best friend who is a ghost. he considers joy his...mom? god? but also has mixed feelings about her, especially since meeting other people and starting to figure out who he is. they've got family drama </3. he got shown a cave full of big mushrooms and instantly got incredibly excited and was like "!!!!! they're like me!!!!!!!! " and then built an entire massive base in said cave within like, a few days. he's refered to himself as a "fun guy" on multiple occasions. i love him he's so silly. [also, for full clarification: dominion smp is very story and character based. multiple creators have refered to the characters they play as /characters/ rather than just themselves, including this guy! and as stated in my rambles, he's got a bunch of traits that he doesn't share with the person playing him, due to the fact that his circumstances shape a lot of his personality and interactions, and they are. clearly different to the irl content creator.]” - Submission 96
“Josh is a character on the Dominion SMP! He is the mushroom son of the witch, Joy, who was created after she mixed a bunch of things together in a cauldron. He occasionally refers to her as “god”. He is curious about the world and how it works, and he’s part of the group IOU, which is an organization formed in opposition to POOPA, which is sort of like the Dominion SMP’s version of OSHA.” - Submission 127
