Back with another from EXU: Divergence. Rei’nia Saph lights the way forward. Hope-holder and light-bringer. (I did my best with the kanji 🤣) #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

A brown elf in dark blue kimono stands at the edge of water. She holds a staff with a large round white lantern hanging from the end. Behind her is a dark, hilly landscape with a faint trail of single lanterns winding down across the land, as if following a path. In the water a reflection is seen, either a moon rising or simply the lantern she holds.

Well I got a little inspired by EXU Divergence, so here's my try at Crokas #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

Japanese manga-style digital drawing of Crokas, a white dragonborn monk with black spotting coloration. He is facing the viewer with a stern, focused stare. He is depicted as a sumo wrestler ritually stomping and throwing salt in the ring. He wears a stylized Stormgirdle, drawn as a white rope belt with yellow lightning bolts descending from it. Underneath he wears a dark blue loincloth. A glowing orb of Avalir hangs at his belt.

After finishing EXU Divergence (in tears of course), I had to go back and rewatch the masterpiece that is EXU Calamity. Consequently, here is the final drawing from my Calamity character series, Laerryn Coramar-Seelie, the Architect Arcane herself #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

A brown skinned elf woman robed in gold kimono with circular patterns, with a purple-blue obi and pointed mantle, stands on a black background with red flower petals scattering around her. Behind her is a large golden gear. She holds a fancy glass of champagne and a glowing mechanical orb leviates from her other hand.

Next in my series of EXU Calamity characters, Loquatius Seelie #criticalrolefanart

A grey skinned humanoid dressed in brown robes with purple under-robe and sash stands on a levitating disc. He wears a noh mask depicting the old man, or okina. He is holding a folded fan and looks up as if speaking to a distant audience. He is lit by four colored beams of light which intersect to mix new colors.

For no particular reason whatsoever here’s the next in my EXU Calamity series: Cerrit Agrupnin #criticalrolefanart

Japanese woodcut style digital drawing of a hawk-person, dressed in brown kimono and grey wide pants. He holds a talon-shaped axe and stands above the viewer in a circular window set in a wall decorated with gold runes

Next up in my EXU Calamity project: Nydas Okiro and Sha’korzhan (is my memory mocked anew?) #criticalrolefanart

Ukiyo-e inspired digital drawing of Nydas Okiro, a black man seated on the floor. He wears red, yellow, and orange robes, and brown patterned pants. He carries a purple fan. A spectral dragon curls a long snaky body around him and into the air. They look at each other, the dragon in outrage and Nydas with calm authority.

Did a fun speculative series for EXU Calamity back on that other place. Dropping some here in the new place instead! Here’s Patia Por’co #criticalrolefanart

Ukiyo-e style digital drawing of a pale female elf in flowing gree kimono, yellow obi and blue under robes. She is seated on a floating round platform holding a long clay pipe in one hand. In the background, waterfalls spill down from other floating platforms by magical means.

Delloso de la Rue, (former) Mistrex of the Bloom. Such a great mini-campaign! #d20 #acofaf
