a digital painting of Fjord, a half-orc man with dark green skin and short dark hair, in the midst of being gently lifted up to embrace The Wildmother. The Wildmother is just barely in frame, visible only by her nose, lips and chin, which are much larger in scale compared to Fjord. Her lips are parted ever so slightly. Her mass of long wavy hair that changes color from red, orange, yellow and magenta, flows out all around Fjord and most of the background. She has one giant hand on Fjord’s shoulder, and from it, dark red and purple ivy grows and drapes off of him. Much like her hair, The Wildmother has skin that changes colours from red to orange to yellow and even green. All over her skin are detailed geometric patterns similar to henna designs. Where she touches Fjord, the veins in his skin seem to light up and glow. His eyes are closed and his head is tilted upwards, his lips also parted slightly, as though he and The Wildmother are about to kiss.

Digital drawing of Beauregard on top of an owl, a large dragon behind her. The dragon’s scaly face looms in the background, ice shards floating behind it. A bright blue beam of light is bursting from its mouth, exposing its sharp fangs. Beau stands on the shoulder of a large brown owl. Its wings spread open wide, a halo floating on top of it’s head. A bat flies in the corner of the image, blurry in the foreground. The background of the image looks like a galaxy with purples turning to blues and pinks. Snowflakes speckle the image, concentrated near where the ice beam is.

Sebastian James || @silverheden

Digital drawing of Doty’s robotic hand lifting up Taryon’s armoured hand below it. The image is on a pink fading to purple background. Rainbow swirls coil around the hands, weaving in and out like DNA. Doty’s hand is circular and an olive green, the fingers hang loosely off the robotic hand. Tary’s silver/blue armoured hand latches onto Doty’s, his fingers curling around the robot’s wrist.

@decarbry

A clay sculpted relief of the Raven Queen’s face on a red background. Her white mask sits in the middle of the image, eyes a hollow black void. Her long black hair floats down and lifts up next to her face on either side. As the hair gets longer it begins to shift into feathers. The piece has a lot of texture, and the hair is made of different strips of coloured clay laying in different directions. The paint sits in lines on the feathers causing depth.

Xero Reynolds || @xerjester

$a digital painting of Beauregard and Reani kissing. It is a closeup of just their faces, and there is a paint technique used that makes it look like you are looking at the painting through glass that is covered in ice fractals and frost. Beau is a human woman with brown skin, an eyebrow piercing and dark brown hair. Reani is an aasimar woman with dark brown skin, golden freckles that cover her face like glitter, and long white hair. Their eyes are closed as they kiss.$

Vincent Desmond || @hierothraxs

Realistic digital painting of a dead Mollymauk laying in a snowy field, blood pouring from his mouth and belly. Molly lays on the ground with one hand resting on his stomach, the other lying on the ground. His skin is a pale lavender and his red void eyes stare towards us. He wears a colourful red coat with embroidered lines on in, and a white linen v-neck stained with blood from the gash in his side. A figure is barely seen standing above him, and a blade hovering over his body is dripping blood. The background is a snowy valley that is out of focus, blurring the further it goes.

Vera Rehaag || @verasartblog

Digital drawing of a close up of Caduceus’ eyes and the bridge of his nose as he stares at a clump of moss making up the lower half of the image. Unfocused tiny yellow flowers grow out of it. His eyes shine a bright pink with yellow and green reflections from the moss and flowers. A strand of pink hair lays across his face. At the bottom of the image are the words: “Moss, is there anything it can’t do?”

Svanbjörn || @vuorazas

A realistic digital drawing of Beau standing in front of a pale pink background. Beau is a lean, muscular East Asian woman with brown skin and shoulder-length straight black hair in a loose braid over one shoulder. The side of her head is shaved and she’s wearing a blue wrap croptop, baggy blue pants, a turquoise tabard, and brown leather armor pieces. She has a staff strapped to her back, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip and the other touching the back of her neck. She’s looking at the viewer with a neutral expression.

Sophia Canning || @peaceofseoul

A digital drawing of Beauregard sitting on the back of a large owl flying away from the open mouth of a white dragon. Beau is a dark skinned woman with her hair in a bun, and she’s wearing blue clothing. She stares outward as she holds onto a staff with one hand, the other holding onto the owl. The owl glides forward with its wings spread open. The feathers on its face have gold detailing and a gold half-halo rests on top of its head. Behind them both is bright blue light radiating from the wide open toothy mouth of the dragon. Its eyes shine a bright blue, two large horns protrude from its face. The edges of its face fade off into the background like smoke.

a realistic digital painting of Fjord, a half-orc man with green skin, dark hair with a noticeable gray streak, and tusks that are barely visible. He is topless, and floating in vibrant blue water and a patch of seaweed with his eyes closed. The seaweed is wrapped around his arms and torso. In front of Fjord is a sword, and the blade of the sword is glowing.

Olivia R || @nephelolivia

Digital drawing of Nott, Caleb and Jester in school-girl outfits as they stand in dancing poses on a white background with a blue circle behind them. Nott, an olive green goblin, stands in the front, wearing a white shirt tied up to expose her belly button. She is wearing a long pink blazer, blue short skirt and knee high leggings. Her short black hair is braided into pigtails tied with pink ribbons, and pink pom-pom hair bands behind her ears hold the braids in place. One of her hands is up by her ear, fingers curling towards her face, the other is down by her side. Caleb and Jester stand less detailed behind her, both wearing a tied up shirt, mini skirt and knee high socks. They pose with their arms above their head in a dance pose.

Nikki Dawes || @nikkidawesdraws

a stylized digital drawing of Hanako Hayashi and Alexandra Elise O'Neill, two characters from the Call of Cthulhu one-shot, Shadow of the Crystal Palace. Hanako is a Japanese woman, with black hair pulled loosely back and decorated with a traditional Japanese hair ornament tsumami kanzashi, which looks like red and white flowers. She is wearing a brown dress in the late Victorian style of the 1890s, with black fingerless lace gloves. She is holding hands with Alexandra, a white woman with red hair pulled back into a neat bun, a shirtwaist with the typical leg-o-mutton sleeves, and skirt fashionable in the 1890s. Both ladies are holding up lanterns that glow, lighting up parts of their dress and surroundings, making it seem as though Hanako, Alexandra and the blank gray background are in darkness.

Miles Lazarus || @Rabdoidal

a digital portrait of Vax, a half elven man with pale skin, long dark brown hair, and a black feathered cloak with a raven skull clasp. He is drawn at a three quarter view, and he is smiling. He is drawn in front of a red circle that looks like it has been spray painted onto a white background.

Meg Simmons || @megzilla87

a digital drawing of Mollymauk Tealeaf, a purple tiefling man, with red eyes and wavy purple hair, and horns decorated with various jewellery. He is leaning, almost naked, against an open doorway, a fruit platter in one hand, and smiling suggestively. A blue and gold blanket is draped across his shoulder and cuts diagonally across his torso. He is lit from behind by a warm golden light.

Meg Simmons || @megzilla87

Matt Warwick || @Mightydubz

a realistic digital painting of Caduceus, a firbolg man with gray skin, pink hair that is shaved on one side, and a pink beard. He is looking down at a humanoid skull that he holds in his hands, from which a single white calla lily is growing out of the top. The background is of a gray and dreary looking forest that is dimly lit by a blue light, and there are faint blue floating lights around Caduceus that seem to glow.

Matt Hubel || @matthubelart

a realistic digital portrait of Fjord, a half orc man with green skin, yellow eyes and short dark hair. He is yelling angrily, his face contorted in rage. His teeth and tusks are bared, a vein on the side of his temple visible. There is black smoke that rolls off of Fjord, blurring the outline of him and it curls upward and out into the rest of the greenly lit background.

Matt Hubel || @matthubelart

a digital portrait of Essek Theylss, a drow man with purple skin. He has bright blue eyes, white eyebrows and short messy white hair. He wears intricate white armour with the phases of the moon stamped across it, and a high collared long dark robe. Though he smiles, his face and body is half in shadow. He stands in front of a purple background, and is haloed by a white outline.

Mal Frisch || @crows_cant || crowscant.tumblr.com

a digital portrait of Essek Theylss, a drow man with pale grey skin and hair that has lilac highlights. His hair has an undercut and a diamond earring glimmers at the lobe of his ear. He has blue eyes and full lips with a faint smile. He is wearing a black robe with silver embroidery, and the robe disappears into the black background that surrounds him.

Magnus Thomson || @Dafthux

a watercolor painting of Veth Brenatto, Luc Brenatto and Nott the Brave. The painting is split in half by a jagged line. On the left side of the painting Veth, a brown skinned halfling woman with long thick brown hair, freckles and a yellow apron over a brown dress, is playing with Luc, her son. Luc is a young halfling child with wavy brown hair, freckles and a green shirt and brown trousers. He is standing on the tops of Veth’s feet, laughing as Veth walks his along by lifting up her own feet. They are playing amongst a green field filled with orange flowers, and behind them are rolling hills of farmland, a few houses, and a bright blue sky. On the right side of the painting, Nott the Brave stands alone on a city street. She is a goblin woman with green skin, tattered brown robes, and she is grimacing, her sharp teeth on display. In one hand she holds aloft a sword, and in the other a flask. She is standing on a bare dirt road, a brown and gray city and sky behind her.

Maggie Blair-Kraybil || @mgbk18

L. S. Tee || @2impostors

a stylized digital portrait of Percy, a human man with pale skin and gray hair. His face is almost entirely obscured by a brown mask with a large beaked nose that Percy is in the process of taking off. Stylized smoke pours out of the eye holes of the mask and curls around his gloved hands, his coat and his face. He stands in front of a dark blue background with light blue highlights, though overall the feel of the painting is of it being darkly lit and serious.

Kit Buss || @AnemoneTea

a digital portrait of Vex’ahlia. She is a half elven woman with tan skin, long dark hair that she wears in a braid, and two blue feathers tucked behind one ear. She is wearing a blue bodice and bracers on her arms, and long dark cloak with a furred collar. She looks serious, and she is drawing an arrow from a large wooden longbow that almost looks golden and is tipped with green leaves at each end of the bow. Though the background is a blank sky blue, the entire painting seems to be brightly lit from an invisible light source at the top left hand corner of the painting.

Kendra W || @kendrawcandraw

a digital painting of Reani in her wild-shape as a bat, drawn from behind. Reani is a large gray bat with a golden halo around the large ears that provides the light source for the entire picture, and there is a small dusting of golden freckles across her back. She appears to be flying through a large dark cave, and in front of her looms a crowd of bats hanging upside down from the ceiling. They are only vaguely outlined, but their eyes glow yellow and red. In amongst the crowd of bats, in small writing and in different fonts to indicate different tones of voice, are the words “I like bread,” written five different times.

Kageyama Satsuki || @KageSatsuki

a digital painting of Gelidon, the Nightmare in Ivory, a large ancient white dragon, biting down on the golden Leomund’s Tiny Hut, through which we can see the panicked silhouettes of the Mighty Nein. Gelidon’s jaws are either side of the hut, the teeth digging into it, her tongue pressed up against it, and her massive clawed forelegs splayed out either side of it. Gelidon and the Mighty Nein are inside a large icy cavern, the chunks of icy rock the same colour and shape as Gelidons scales.

Katy Grierson || @kovahs_art

Digital Painting of the Mighty Nein entering a chamber with statues kneeling on the ground as they examine them. Caleb, Caduceus and Fjord are entering through a stone door in the back. Caleb is casting dancing lights producing small white balls of light. One hovers beside him, the other drifts next to Beau who has her arm on the head of one statue as she looks over at Yasha who stands next to her. Yasha looks down with a sad expression on her face as she places her hand on the head of a statue. Four stone statues kneel down on the ground of the room, their hands folded in front of them, wings curve back from their back as blood trickles down their face. Jester sits next to one hugging it as Fumpkin stands in his hind legs staring up at it.

Julia Lichty || @theghostfire

Digital drawing of Yasha with the Laughing Hand and Obann standing on either side of her. Yasha is a pale skinned, muscular woman with long black hair pulled into a half-bun, wearing a long sword strapped to her back. She looks towards the ground sadly. The Laughing Hand looms next to her wearing a cloak covering his face with a chain hanging from one shoulder connecting to a mantacle on his wrist. His hand that sticks out from beneath the cloak is covered in mouths with sharp teeth. On the other side of Yasha is Obann, who places a hand on her shoulder. He is a red fiend with long horns that curve off his face, and large red batlike wings. He smiles smugly. Behind them on the white background is a solid black shadow of the outline of their forms. Batlike wings surround the shadow on each side. In the centre of the shadow form where Yasha’s face would be, is a white sad face, resembling an actor’s tragedy mask.

Jules Versnel || whitefire17draws.tumblr.com

a realistic digital portrait of Jester, painted against a dark background. Jester has light blue skin, purple freckles across her cheeks, nose and chin, bright violet eyes with long lashes, and full blue lips. She has a mass of shoulder length dark blue curls that fall to her shoulders, and her black curling horns are just barely visible through her hair. Jester is looking over her bare shoulder, smiling coyly, and in the reflection of her eyes you can just make our a humanoid silhouette. There are violet, turquoise and blue glowing lights that float all around Jester, lighting up her face.

Jules || @vagueenthusiast

A painting of a skeletal dragon with Delilah and Sylas Briarwood standing on its back. The dragon is huge, taking up most of the image with its wings outstretched. It is drawn in dark greens and greys. Delilah and Sylas stand on the dragon’s back. Delilah is beginning to cast a spell with one hand, while Sylas holds his sword down at the ready. The city of Thar Amphala, including the tower of Entropis, can be seen in the background. There is a vibrant yellow lightning bolt shooting up from the top of Entropis, turning the entire sky yellow.

Joric || @Joric_art || jomiriga.tumblr.com

a digital painting of scenes from the Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Crystal Palace oneshot, designed to look like a double page spread of a comic book. On the left hand side of the painting is a birds eye view of an atrium. Light is being cast from an unknown source at the top left hand corner of the painting, casting long shadows of window frames across the entire floor. A lot of the space is taken up by wooden crates, some open with the contents strewn about, wooden furniture, tropical plants, and a singular fountain at the top of the page. From the shadows that are cast, ghostly hands reach out across the floor of the atrium. At the opposite end of the atrium to the fountain, the group of investigators stands huddled together; Alexandra and Dr. Mason hold up glowing lanterns, while Hanako, Capt. Badger and Septimus stand between them. They are all looking on as Ida is being dragged into the fountain by a ghostly figure against her will. There is a large exclamation mark inside a cartoon speech bubble that gives the sense of alarm. At the very bottom of the page is a large rectangular comic insert that is a close up of the ghostly figure holding onto Ida as it drags her into the fountain. The right hand side of the painting is divided into two different scenes at the top and bottom of the page. At the top of the page, the huddled group of investigators looking on in horror, as Ida is sucked into the fountain. All of them look terrified except for Dr. Mason who is distracted by a noise he hears to his left, emphasised by a written “tap, tap, tap” sound effect. At the bottom of the page, Dr. Mason approaches a large pane of glass with his lantern, but his reflection is not of himself, it is of Ida, holding a lantern in the same way that Dr.Mason is, but she is pointing off to the right of the painting, with a little cartoon exclamation mark hanging above her head. Dr. Mason just continues to stare at Ida, but with a little question mark hanging above his head.

1 of 3: a digital banner painting of Lady Kima of Vord. Kima is a halfling woman with pale skin, green eyes, several scars across her face, and short messy hair. She wears ornate golden armour, and has her sword slung across the back of her shoulders. From the sword, almost as if she is casting a patronus, emanates a stylized burning red and orange stag, charging forward with its head down. There is a faint stone city in the background, and stamped over top of it is the word “Kima” with the outline of a d20 die around it in black. Just behind Kima, there also seems to be another person, wearing ornate blue robes, but they are cut off by the picture. The brushstrokes of the painting are very stylized, and almost messy at times, but it gives the entire picture a real feeling of flow and great energy.

Jessica Nguyen || @Jessketchin

2 of 3: a digital banner painting of Lady Allura Vysoren, which connects to the banner painting of Lady Kima by her ornate blue robes, which are detailed with gold embroidery and white fur at the cuffs and collar. Allura is a human woman with pale skin, long blonde hair that is braided away from her face and decorated with golden jewellery, and she is standing with her back to us, looking over her shoulder, her eyes completely white. She has one hand held aloft, and from it, the smokey white outline of a swan in flight takes shape. She is standing in front of what looks to be highly decorated and embellished wood paneling, and there are some blue and gold curtains just off to the edge of the painting. Stamped over the top of this background is the word “Allura” with the outline of a d20 die around it, all in white. Much like the painting of Lady Kima, the brushstroke style of the painting is highly stylized and detailed, giving the picture a real feeling of flow and great energy.

Jessica Nguyen || @Jessketchin

3 of 3: a digital banner painting of Shaun Gilmore, which though not connected to the Lady Kima and Lady Allura banners, is painted in the same style with highly stylized and messy brushstrokes, giving the overall feeling of great energy to the painting. Gilmore is a human man with brown skin, wavy black hair that is braided to one side, and a long black goatee that is also braided. He wears ornate purple robes that are embroidered with gold thread and fringing. He also wears a lot of gold jewelry; rings on almost every finger, numerous bracelets and cuffs, several necklaces, and hooped earrings and a nose ring. He is holding a tobacco pipe with a vibrant purple butterfly perched on it. There are several other vibrant purple butterflies of different sizes flying all around Gilmore. He is sitting in a room with highly decorated wood paneling and dark purple curtains, and stamped over the top of a section of the background is the writing “Gilmore” with the outline of a d20 die around it, all in white.

Jessica Nguyen || @Jessketchin

Art of Molly in the style of a Byzantine mosaic. The entire piece looks like a mosaic, as if it is made up of tiny pieces, including the vibrant gold background. Molly is seen from the waist up facing forward. In his right hand, he holds his scimitar up, pointing it straight down. His left arm is covered by a purple half cloak. He is wearing his signature colorful coat, featuring beautiful geometric designs as well as sun and star motifs. His peacock tattoo can be seen across the right side of his chest, neck, and face. He has a neutral expression on his face. There is a large hole in the very center of his chest, which the gold background can be seen through. There is a teal ring around Molly’s head, forming a halo. On the left side of the image, the letters “MT” are written. On the right side, the Greek letters “μν” are written.

Hannah Friederichs || @agarthanguide

A digital drawing of Beau in the style of a comic book panel. Beau is seen on a yellow background from the shoulders up, swinging her left fist up and towards the viewer in a punch. She has her teeth gritted and eyebrows furrowed. Strands of her hair are knocked out of place by the movement. There is a trail drawn behind the fist to show it coming up. The word “pow!” is written in all caps behind her fist, drawn inside an comic book style word bubble.

Hannah Friederichs || @agarthanguide

A digital drawing of Beau from the waist up. She has her staff pulled back behind her head with both hands, about to swing it forward to attack. She has a determined look on her face. Behind her is a background of soft pinks and greys. Dark branches reach in from the sides.

Enoch || @enodraws

Hannah Friederichs || @agarthanguide

a stylized digital painting of The Mighty Nein. They are painted on a blank white background, and at the very centre of the painting is a blue outlined d20 die in a white glowing light. The Mighty Nein are arranged around the glowing d20. At the top of the painting are the heads of Yasha and Molly, back to back. Molly’s face is partially obscured by some tarot cards he holds fanned out in his hand. Yasha looks stern, and at the bottom of her braided hair, a little green tentacle of u’kotoa, with three yellow eyes, peeks out and curls around one side of the d20. On the right side of the d20 is Caduceus, who holds his wooden staff topped with pink crystals, looking a little nonchalantly up at Yasha, and on the left of the d20 is Beauregard, who bolds her bo staff in one hand, and is posed as though she has just taken a leap forward. At the bottom of the painting is Fjord, looking up at the tentacle of u’kotoa that is starting to wrap around the d20, a worried look on his face. Just below him are Jester and her duplicate, both smiling. One Jester is standing with her back to Fjord holding onto Nugget the blink dog, while the other Jester, holding onto Sprinkle the weasel, stands with her back to Caleb. Caleb has an open book that is open and floating just above his hands, with Frumpkin curling around his shoulder. Just above Caleb, Nott is flying by with her crossbow in one hand, and the other holding onto a red potion.

Ennun || @ennunanaiurov

a digital painting of Keyleth, a half-elven woman with pale skin, a long nose, and long flowing orange hair that is adorned with a flower and antler crown. She is wearing a green dress that is embellished with autumnal leaves at her collar and waist. Keyleth has her arms raised above her head, as though she is dancing, a gentle smile on her face. Butterflies and birds are floating around her. She is painted inside of a white rectangular relief, in front of a blank peach colored background.

Elena Muñoz || @kyotosparty

Elaine Tipping || @TriaElf9

Digital drawing of a cartoon style Beauregard looking forward, her mouth open, snarling. She has a harsh bright white spotlight shining on her face, casting white light across her body. She has blue eyes, brown hair pulled into a bun on top of her head, and freckles on her blushed cheeks. She wears a blue crop top and a blue necklace dangles from her neck.

Din Duarte || @DinDuarte

It is a gif of Grog from the shoulders up, animated in three images. At first, Grog has a flat, angry expression. His eyebrows are down and he’s frowning. Then his expression changes to surprise, his eyebrows going up and eyes widening. Finally, he laughs, his head thrown back and mouth wide open. It then cycles back to the beginning.

David Rodrigues || @3rdclover

a cartoon style digital drawing of Reani, an aasimar woman with dark brown skin, golden freckles, and long blonde hair that she wears in a high ponytail with a flower crown. She is wearing a white cape with golden embroidery, a brown bodice, and white shorts with a see through overlay skirt that has gold accents, through which her thigh high brown boots are visible. She is smiling widely, wearing pink oven mitts as she holds up a three tier cake, with blue and pink frosting and a pink rose at the top of the cake. She is painted on a blank white background that is only interrupted only by the golden halo around Reani’s head and the cartoon asterix stars in pink and white that float around her.

Ceri Giddens || @cerigg

a stylized digital portrait of Reani, an aasimar woman with warm brown skin, large golden eyes with long lashes, golden freckles, and long, curly blonde hair that is worn in a ponytail with a flower crown, her golden halo shining above her. She is wearing a white dress with a brown and gold bodice, gold cape, and white bracers on her forearms. She is smiling widely with her hands clasped in front of her as though she is praying. She stands in front of a light blue background, and there are small sparkles all around her.

Cassidy Rivers || @cassartsalot

a digital painting of Keyleth and Vax, on a blank white background. Vax is a half-elven man with pale skin, blue eyes, and long dark hair with colourful beads braided in amongst it. He is smiling and looking off to the side, while he hugs Keyleth to him, her back pressed against his front, and his arm wrapped around her waist. Keyleth is a half-elven woman with tan skin, long curly red hair, and a freckled and muscular frame. She is smiling gently with her eyes closed, with one of her hands lifted up and buried in Vax’s hair.

Casey Bieda || @sketchingsprw || sketchingsparrow.tumblr.com

Candy Fox || @candyfoxdraws

a digital drawing of Nott the Brave / Veth Brenatto. The drawing shows a split between the two, the halfling face of Veth on the left and the goblin face of Nott on the right. Veth’s eye is closed and she is submerged underwater, while Nott’s eye is open, looking visibly upset. At the bottom of the painting white text reads in all caps: “My name was Veth.”

Caitie || @nottyjester

a watercolour digital painting of Caduceus Clay and Fjord, who are sitting down and having a discussion with each other. Caduceus is a firbolg man with grey skin, long pink hair that is shaved on one side, and a pink beard. He is sitting cross legged, the palms of his hands cupped together and sitting in his lap. Around him are dancing golden lights, and at his back grows a tall bushy vine with pink flowers. Caduceus has a tail which wraps around his legs, and on the ground where he sits, purple and white spotted mushrooms have grown. Caduceus, with a complacent smile on his face, is looking down at Fjord who sits opposite him. Fjord is a half-orc man with green skin, short dark hair with a grey streak, and tusks that are just beginning to be visible. Like Caduceus, he is sitting cross legged, his hands folded together in his lap. There is a soft blue light around Fjord, and what look like bubbles. At his back is a small coral reef from which long stems of seaweed is growing, fish swimming amongst it, and four glowing yellow eyes. Fjord looks nervous and unsure as he looks back at Caduceus. In between them sits a small bowl and pestle, and a golden incense burner, which is smoking, the curls of smoke gently drifting between them. At the apex of the smoke plume between Caduceus and Fjord is a wooden crook, the symbol of The Wildmother, and it is almost as though all the light falling on Fjord and Caduceus is coming from this symbol. In green and gold at the bottom of the page are the words: “what do you dream about, when your dreams are your own?”

Cait May || @caitmayart

A realistic digital portrait of Beauregard Lionett. She is drawn in front of a blank grey background. Beau is an East Asian woman with brown skin, light blue eyes, and dark shoulder length hair, that she wears with an undercut and a top knot. She has full lips, with a small scar that branches out from the corner of her bottom lip, another scar that runs through her right eyebrow, and a small cut on her cheek that is bleeding slightly. Her ears are pierced in multiple places, and she is wearing a light blue top.

Caio Santos || @BlackSalander

a digital painting of Dwueth’var, the Star Razor sword. It is painted horizontally across the page. It has a triangular steel pommel, a leather wrapped hilt, and there are three blue and green gems inset on the guard. The blade of the sword is long and curved before coming to a sharp point, and it too has a green gem inset at the very top of the blade. The sword is painted as though it is in shadow in front of a black background, but there is a beam of light that falls across the blade, showing whorls of colour in green and blue across the entire length of it.

Caio Santos || @BlackSalander

a stylised digital painting of Fjord dressed in modern clothing. On the left hand side of the painting is a full body portrait of Fjord, a skinny half-orc man with dark green skin that is heavily tattooed, yellow eyes, and short hair. The bottom half of his face is obscured by a bright blue bandana tied around his head, that has a bright blue tentacle pattern on it. He wears a short sleeved shirt that reads “release the kraken,” a red and white varsity jacket thrown over his shoulders, skinny jeans and leather boots. Around his knee is a bloodied bandage, and he holds a wooden baseball bat with nails poking out of the end, slung across the back of his shoulder. At his waist is a studded belt, with a tamagotchi hanging loosely from it. On the right hand side is a closeup of Fjord’s hand holding the tamagotchi. The display on the tamagotchi screen is a gif of a small 8-bit Fjord sleeping, tossing and turning, and then waking up and vomiting water.

Justyna Rerak || @Justyna_Rerak

a digital painting of Beauregard, a human woman with brown skin, dark brown hair that is undercut, and a blue crop top that shows off her abs. She is also wearing Caleb’s signature brown coat and scarf, which are trailing behind her as she runs forward at great speed. Frumpkin, an orange tabby cat, is raised up in one hand like she is about to throw him, as she yells “Ja! Go forth mein kitty!!!” Frumpking looks terrified. The blue and white background is blurred heavily behind her, showing just how fast Beauregard is moving.

Brandon Shigaki || @Morphenominal12

a digital painting of Yasha, lying down in a field of vibrant red poppies. Yasha is a fallen aasimar woman with pale skin, and long dark hair that fades to white that is fanned all around her, with several blue feathers in amongst the braids. She wears a furred cloak, brown bodice and brown bracers on her arms, which are folded across her stomach. There are red poppies nestled in the crooks of her arms, and in her hands. She is sleeping peacefully, a small smile on her face.

a digital painting of Caduceus Clay, a firbolg man with gray skin, long pastel pink hair and a short pink beard. He is wearing a large straw hat as he waters some plants and flowers using an oxidised copper watering can. There are three bees buzzing near his head that he is smiling at, and a small ladybird on the petal of a pink flower by Caduceus’ hand.

a digital painting of Caleb Widogast, a human man with pale skin, blue eyes, red hair and a beard. He is standing face on, looking grim and determined, one hand raised with the palm face up and flat, and the other hand sliding across his palm. There is frenetic bursts of flame exploding out of his palm out towards the viewer. His scarf and brown coat are being whipped behind him by the force of the blast of flame, one of his book holsters just visible underneath the coat. As well as being lit from the front by his own flames, there is a bright orange glow behind Caleb that fades into a dark brown background.

A blue-toned drawing of Essek Thelyss, casting a spell. He seems to pull a shining white thread out of the air, holding each end taut in front of his chest, one hand above and the other below so the thread is diagonal. A multitude of shapes scatter on either side of the thread, extending outward in a loose X, with smaller curving scatters of shapes in between--mostly diamonds and pentagons, but a handful of arrow shapes as well. A soft purple glow surrounds the line, casting light on the mantle about Essek’s shoulders. A similar glow, though bluer and less transparent, rises from behind him, like fog made solid. Thin white lines rise up on either side of it, giving the impression of both columns and movement. Essek stares forward, eyes pale, lined in white, with a small, somewhat knowing smile on his fine-boned face.

A digital drawing of the Mighty Nein, each placed within one side of a blue D20, each slightly extending beyond the 2D bounds of their particular side. At the top, on the left, there is Frumpkin, laying down with his head up. In the adjacent side, top-center, there is Caleb, sitting with his knees loosely bent, hunched forward, as fire dances between his palms. In the center on the far left, there is Molly, upside down, from the chest up. The next side over, there is Jester, smiling with her head angled toward him as she sits cross-legged in front of her sketchbook, pen in hand. Next to her on the other side, in the center of the piece, there is Caduceus shown only from the bust up, gripping his staff in one hand. Beside and slightly below him, there is Yasha, shown from the chest up, leaning on her greatsword. Behind, beside, and slightly above her is Fjord, shown from the waist up, holding his falchion aloft. It curves up behind Caleb’s back in the top row, the water splashing over his coat. At the bottom left of the D20 is Nott, facing left, wearing her mask and creeping along with one hand outstretched. Beside her in the next facet is Beau, facing right, somewhere between a lunge pose and a kick, holding her arms at the ready.

Amy Spaulding || @amyspauldingart

A drawing of Beau with one knee raised as though halfway to a yoga pose. She holds one hand up in front of her chest, making a hand sign like an upright gun, and the other grips her staff, which hangs down the length of her back behind her head. She’s staring at the viewer and smirking slightly. The background is a blue-to-gray gradient with swirling smoke-like shapes centered behind Buea, and a scattering of white flecks like snow or stars overlaid on top.

@ThaisPetralanda

A digital drawing of Molly and Yasha, sitting back-to-back in a field of wheat under a cloudy gray sky. Molly is in the foreground, angled slightly to the left but largely facing the viewer. He holds one of his sheathed scimitars in one hand, eyes closed as he slouches against Yasha. Yasha sits more upright, facing the opposite direction, part of her face visible as she holds up a red flower and stares at it. She appears intent where Molly appears relaxed. Both have their hair pulled back on top with a little spilling down the sides. There are more red flowers scattered round, including some springing up in front of Molly.

@Shinynope

A stylistic digital drawing of Caduceus Clay. Caduceus is a light grey skinned firbolg with wavy pastel pink hair and a pink beard. He is drawn standing in a dark wood with different plant life surrounding him, all drawn in various shades of blue, black and purple. He is holding a log with bright pink mushrooms growing out of it. He is also steeped in shadow on the left side of the picture, and there are bright pink accents that seem to glow in the dark. These accents outline small flying bugs like fireflies, mushrooms growing from Caduceus’ shoulder, an earring hanging from his ear, and a half halo, that stops where the light in the picture starts. In the background of the shaded portion of the picture are outlines of ghosts and ghostly eyes peeking out of the bushes, all drawn in pink.

@shaiylo_art || shaiylo.tumblr.com

A drawing of Essek Thelyss on a gray background, which is decorated with a light blue design, drawn in thin, swirling lines. He looks off to the right, one hand hovering just below his mantle, which extends down from his shoulders in two triangular points which reach about mid-chest. It also extends upward from his sternum in an irregular V-shape which ends in an outward-curving spike on either side.

@nyicti

A drawing of Beau in front of a dark blue background with lighter-blue splashes on top in the style of paint splatter. She’s glaring slightly, holding up both fists, and wearing a moon-and-sun necklace on a fine silver chain. A diagonal purple slash across the background casts a rosy glow on her hair and her light brown skin.

Kirsten Horsma || @Net_Sketch

A digital drawing of Jester, facing right, looking over her shoulder and grinning wide at the viewer, a shine in her purple eyes. She’s holding her spiral lollipop in both hands in front of her, angled a little behind her head, almost like a baseball bat ready to swing. The background is a light purple sky with fluffy clouds and swirls of hazy pink, like magic energy or sweet perfume. There are sparkles scattered over the whole thing.

@kvkki

A digital drawing of Caleb facing right, one hand held palm-up, producing a wash of hazy orange flame that casts light upward over his front. His other hand hovers high above the first, palm down, fingers loosely curled. He stares dead-eyed into the middle-distance, hair tossed by an unseen wind, scarf flying up over one shoulder. The background is various browns, highlighted in places by curves of orange like licks of flame.

1 of 2. A digital painting of Fjord, holding the falchion in front of his face. It rests on the right, cracked into several pieces, seemingly held together by the spectral blue energy that crackles round it like a cross between water and lightning. Reflected in the center-piece of the blade, directly over where Fjord’s eye would be, is a large yellow snake eye set in a green-gray face, more sallow than Fjord’s skin. Beneath this are smaller blade-shards, encrusted with barnacles that resemble smaller, duller snake eyes. Fjord stares forward with a neutral expression, his one visible eye shining the same yellow as Uk'otoa’s, and the barest hint of his forehead scar peeking out from behind the spectral energy from the sword–energy which obscures the white streak in his hair. The background is a wash of overlapping blues and grays, dull like deep ocean water, crossed through with dark purple like scraggly seaweed which rises up over his chest and around behind his head, curling towards him.

2 of 2. A digital painting of Fjord, holding the Star Razor in front of his face. It rests on the left, with many spidering cracks along its surface, but all of them smooth, visibly repaired, whole. Cool blue energy swirls around the blade, unbroken and curling like ocean waves, and nothing is reflected in its surface. Fjord’s skin is a more vibrant green, and he looks ahead with soft eyes and a faint smile, the streak in his hair and all of his thin pink scars on full display. His one visible eye is a duller yellow, almost brown. The background is a wash of overlapping blues, brighter, less gray, with purple along the edges but not creeping over his chest.

1 of 4: A full color comic featuring Fjord and the Mighty Nein from Critical Role. The first page shows a dark background with an image of Fjord’s hand reaching for the falchion, a barnacle-encrusted sword with a handle wrapped in red leather and a yellow eye with a reptilian pupil in the center of the hilt. Text above the image says “You did not choose this.” A second image shows a close up of Fjord’s eyes which are the same light yellow as the eye on the falchion. Text above this image says “But all your life this world told you to be someone else.”

@GalacticJonah

2 of 4: The next page shows Fjord’s face, although his eyes and the top of his head are out of frame. He has a short beard and a gold septum ring as well as sharp tusks that protrude from his lower lip. Wispy lines leading out of his mouth circle the words “So you speak in another man’s voice.” The second image shows Fjord’s hand holding up a large golden stone that is cracked in a way that resembles the eye’s slitted pupil. Text on this image says “And wield powers of which you know nothing at all.” The last image shows Fjord with his back to the viewer against a red and black background. Text above him says “And for a while pretending feels good. Until…”

@GalacticJonah

3 of 4: The next page shows the eyes of all the Mighty Nein, each in their own panels that are vertical on the page. Caleb’s blue eyes and messy red hair, Jester’s red eyes and open expression, Yasha’s purple and green eyes, Caduceus’s green eyes, Beau’s brown eyes and a scar she has through one eyebrow, and Nott’s gold eyes. Text in the middle of the page says “…you feel truly seen. For the first time.”

@GalacticJonah

4 of 4: The last page has two similar images of Fjord next to each other. The first shows him mostly submerged in dark and murky water. His eyes are closed and there is a dark scaled snake wrapped around his neck. The other image shows him mostly submerged in clean water with dark pink flower petals floating in the water around him. Text begins in the first image and goes on to the next: “You are becoming…who you need to be.” The last image shows Fjord’s eyes again, but this time they are a golden brown and have round pupils. Text above this image says “Yourself.”

@GalacticJonah

Digital drawing of the Mighty Nein in various states of panic, crammed into the Tiny hut as Caleb is scrawling a sigil on the ground. The large head of a dragon looms behind them, its mouth open, teeth wrapped around the hut as Caduceus stares towards it. Beau and Reani are in the foreground looking worried, Caleb is on his knees studying the shining blue sigil, Fjord sits with his arms on his head, Nott and Jester are falling forward almost hitting the ground and Caduceus stands with an arm out staring down the dragon.
