“You just wrote your medieval fantasy setting to have medieval gender roles and homophobia and prejudice because you secretly fantasize about being able to be sexist and homophobic in a land with no PoC without any pushback! It’s fantasy, there’s dragons and wizards, it doesn’t have to have prejudice unless you, the writer, want it like that! In *my* D&D setting, there’s no sexism or homophobia, so that gay transgender women of all races can be holy knights fighting to protect the good kingdom from the endless hordes of the evil dark race that has threatened its borders for a thousand years!”

I’m going to assume that at this point you’ve all seen Critical Role’s new show Candela Obscura and at least skimmed through the Quickstart Guide (you have done all that riiiight??) So I wanted to compile all the things I’ve done that have been shown so far. Its long so read below the line!
I’m going to try to avoid spoilers. So feel free to read without worry. I’m also going to try and avoid breaking any NDA like a good professional. So I will not be doing some deep dive behind the scenes thing. Only visuals that have already been publicly shared are going to be on here
The very first thing I did on this show was the concepts for the main set. Everything is practical. Nothing is green screen or cg or whatever. Some people think it’s just good cg but nope that's all real. You could touch it! (don’t touch it, there are ghosts)
There were multiple iterations on the design, each with their own vibe and statement piece. CR narrowed it down to what you see in the show: a sort of storage hall with an odd clock contraption behind the GM. I think I called this design version the “Abyssal Hall” or something like that (I gave the different versions names to better keep track of which design was being discussed)
The company Flip This Bitch built the physical set. They turned my silly little art into a real thing. So they did all the actual magic of making this set come together in the end! They deserve a lot of the credit for it looking so good in the end.
Also that little piece of art in the bottom left of the preshow is a section from the final concept art of the set.
That contraption behind Matt is based on astrolabes and clocks. This isn’t really meant to be a literal astrolabe or a clock as we would use them in our world. Narratively this isn’t a device that measures either of the things that a traditional astrolabe or clock does. This is a special magickal tool that does a secret third thing.
Also I did concepts for the GM screen. You don't really see it besides in the fancy-shmancy preshow. There were a number of more intricate designs for it but CR went with the simpler option since the only part that would be visible on stream is the top, so that's where I put the most detail.
I should also note that I did not design the logo! It’s pretty prominent on the GM screen but I was supplied an already existing logo for this.
NEXT is the Taliesin enclosure set that you see in the trailer. This is actually meant to be like the lantern room on the top of a lighthouse, minus the big light beacon (You could say Taliesin is the beacon).
Also in the trailer you see a couple brief sketches I did for some world building concepts:
Speaking of sketches there are a number of art pieces of mine in the Quickstart guide
A lot of my art is sketches. They’re all meant to be like notes and drawings from members of Candela as they travel and notate their findings. Most of the notes on these sketches are my actually my notes when I was doing world building concepts, but they replaced my handwriting with a font because my handwriting sucks lmao (also likely for ease of future localization).
Also the cover of the Quickstart guide uses line art of a part of that astrolabe clock set piece. This line art was part of the deliverables that was sent over to Flip This Bitch for construction. They’re just using pieces of those set concepts everywhere!
As you can see I’ve done a lot of art for this project. I was part of this project when it was still early in development. It’s changed quite a bit from where we started.
I wasn’t the only one that made all this art happen though. Other artists, writers, and designers got to add their own vision to this. It was very much a collaborative effort that took a long time to happen. It’s very exciting to see everyone’s hard work come to fruition and there is a lot more to come!
#candela obscura#critical role#my art#ttrpg#illustration#art#cr#candela spoilers#I could say a lot about what went into each thing#but that would be too long#this is already too long#more art is coming#you’ll see it in the final release of the rules/setting book#also it’s very likely a significant amount of art won’t ever be show to the public#such is the life of a concept artist

Let's look at this list from Dicebreaker
Bad Start with the Dragon Games, to the dungeon with you
Then Pendragon 6E, not my type of fantasy, a pass
Daggerheart : The cards with the character sheets may be interesting, waiting to know more
Stormlight Archive RPG :I should read the books first. a D20 system ? hope they are doing something more. If I remember correctly, the magic system is based on promises and bonds, that is interesting and I will wait to see more
Wilderfeast : Okay so I was part of the wrowdfunding. I like cooking monsters... and there was an apron! I can't say no to an apron! Also the Monster Hunter thing.
Break : Also funded. I wanna be a murder princess
Triangle Agency : Another game funded. Do I have good taste ? A mix of Control, X files and SCP. Honestly I listened to the AP on Party of One @partyofonepod and immediately went to the KS page. A little love for the D4
Through The Hedgerow : Did I miss this ? Usually, the words Neil Gaiman in the description are enough to get my money. Well i'll wit for the release and see then. The illustrations looks great
Eat the reich : Already played actually, but not against another go it was so fun. (maybe with the speedrun system added to it). I love exploding fash.
Shadow Scar : First time hearing about this. Yokais ? tell me more. The guy from Witcher Rpg ? meh.... didn't enjoyed this game and its system.
The Hidden Isle : Have you seen the artwork !? Tarot ? Of course i helped fund this.
Jukebox : The karaoke Musical ?!?
Stonetop : Building a fantasy village ? hmmmm.... Pbta you say ?... let's see for chill sessions.
Shadow of the Weird Wizard : Like D&D with a d20 system ? meh.

I like how in these past two entries Dracula is just There In the Background.
He's a flying bat, maybe a bird, he's that figure on the seat over there in the distance with the glowing red eyes. This is so different from how he menaced Jonathan (where he was the creepy old man that is Actively Keeping Me Prisoner yet still wants to have nightly chats) or the Demeter crew (where he understand the Nothing is Scarier trope and generally keeps out of sight till the end).
This time, he's just chillaxing in the background because we've had those two instances of different flavors of horror, and now we are thoroughly terrified of him, so just seeing him in the background is enough.
And this kind of tickles me in a weird way because I do so love when you can see the danger. It may not be actively menacing you. In fact, it may be moving away from you. Honestly, you don't even know if it has noticed you, and it's still TERRIFYING.
Like, sure, the idea that the monster is watching you and you not realizing it is scary, but sometimes you watching the monster is worse.
#dracula daily#re: dracula#dracula#i should amend#Mina is not experiencing this#the audience is#this trope works best if you know that the monster far outclasses you#cause then its less “im stalking the monster to initiate combat”#and more “oh shit am i hidden? did it see me? is it going to come after me?”#i mostly get this in video games and ttrpgs obviously#but it can be done well in a book#jurrasic park (the book) has some moments of “oh shit do the dinosaurs see us”#and theres that bit in the movie where they run into the trex hunting on the open plain#the trex isnt actively menacing them#but its terrifying cause if it notices them they are screwed

character class spreads from the official elden ring tabletop rpg, including a mixture of original art for existing classes and new art for classes exclusive to the rpg. i don't think these have been circulated much in english-speaking fan circles, if at all.
#i don't have a pdf copy of this game so i had to rip and recomposite each of these from the back end of the shopfront i found the book on#pretty tedious. worth it though#i'd like to credit these like i usually do but i don't know the artist's name#so hopefully referring to the source is enough#elden ring#ttrpg#ELDEN RING TRPG#<- the actual title of the thing#offical art
