#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

digital drawing of Bolaire from critical role campaign 4. He is leaning forward in a theatrical bow, wild curly hair swept back and wearing a long cape and white mask.
The illustration is in shades of muted red, and cream with black lineart. He is depicted on a background of an arch with a 4 pointed star at the top and decorative art-nouveau style at the bottom spelling out the name Bolaire Lathalia.

Art vs Artist🩸

drowning in deadlines yet the ideas dont stop coming so here are a two little sneak peaks of some rough attempts to get those ideas down

been in a very poster/graphic mindset lately...

a very simple sketch and a colour mock-up for a poster showing a blonde haired woman with blood all down her front holding up a severed head of a man in a wide brimmed hat, with his headless corpse on the floor behind her and a pool of blood trailing towards the viewer. she is wearing all white and is posing in the classic "Judith With The Head Of Holofernes" statue style.

a very simple sketch and a colour mock-up for a poster showing an elegant figure clad in yellow silks on the background of a green pillar that erupts upwards. There is a darker figure behind the main one bearing horns on its head and hugging the smaller one from the back in a posessive manner. The text at the bottom says "A Devil Wrapped In Silk"

Newt 👁️🦎 @eyeofthenewt.bsky.social · 13d

Artists! Post your hot men art!

(revealing my wretched tastes lol)

spot art of an undead noble clad in green and gold, once fancy, now tattered and tarnished. He holds a sword in each hand and uses one if them to point, as if to someone off screen, giving them a haunting warning look. his face shows the signs of undeaths as his skin stretches over bone. Client: Crow&Crown for: Bloodwood.

square format illustration of astarion kneeling above the body of cazador with bloodied hands. the background is a tapestry showing a decorative depiction of a white wolf chewing on his own leg thats caught in a bear trap. the lighting is from above and the whole piece is bathed in tones of green, contrasting with the dark red of the blood.

digital illustration showing a figure with bloodied chin and neck grinnign at the viewer on the background of decorative leaves assembled in a border. they are dressed in cowboy attire and have a revolver in their hands.

A vertical illustration shows a pale dark haired man being tipped back dramatically by a devil wearing a fancy robe on a yellow background. there are decorative art-nouveau style ornaments around them. the text says: Saltiato Cum Diaboli
