Firbolg cleric, Caduceus Clay, visits the local Bisaft Isle blacksmith to inquire about repairing a magical sword for a friend. Hugs ensue!
Hello again all!
I hope you enjoy this latest #criticalrole animatic featuring everyone's favorite firbolg!
I also wanted to thank you all so much for the support and kind words on my last video, it means the world to me that you all enjoyed it so much! Especially considering these are portfolio pieces and I didn't expect to get a response from the community. :)
My goal is to get an internship at Titmouse in the future as a storyboard artist, so the support really helps fuel my drive to keep working toward that goal!
I post art updates on Instagram @zaza_ink if you want to follow me there for updates or just feel like chatting about all things CR!

I love that Cad accidently found a magic sword, like stumbling on a piece of Excalibur at a garage sail

@rhokesh4391 Год назад

Vox Machina: Searching the world over for Vestiges, fighting impossible odds to get them. Caduceus: Oops 🤷‍♂

@zaza_ink Год назад

Ikr? And it was one of my favorite details that he went to every blacksmith they came across to see if they could fix it. Didn’t matter if they were in the middle of the Bisaft Isle, maybe this blacksmith could fix the magic sword idk? 😭

@cordthomas97 Год назад

Well, it was in a magicalish store, but yeah, I just found a vestige.

Having the fungal wastes music playing for Caduceus is one of the best things I've ever seen in this fandom. Love it, it's his canon theme music now, and I need to come up with Hollow Knight ost themes for the rest of the m9 now

@zaza_ink Год назад

OMG YES!!! That’s such a good idea!! If I’m being honest I was actually playing Hollow Knight and thought “this would be good music for my animatic” it was only until after did I realize Fungal Waste was perfect for Cad in general 😂 if you end up making a playlist before I get to it lemme know cause that’s such a good idea 👌

@FionnFisher Год назад

So far all I've got for sure is Mantis Lords for Beau. Been toying with Soul Sanctum for Caleb but I'm not sure if that's too on the nose.

@ZenithTech35 Год назад

This is a whole lot closer to an animation than an animatic in my mind! So much liveliness to the motions and expertly drawn! SUCH great work! Loved every second of it :D

@zaza_ink Год назад

Thank you! I definitely tried to get a lot more fluid movements and different camera angles in this one! Thought I’d practice with a smaller one in preparation for my next project which is gonna be a lot more action packed! Thank you again for the support! :D

@@zaza_ink Yeah, the fluidity was definitely super stand-out here! Turned out incredibly well, to boot!

Super excited to see your next project! :D

the AUDIO EDITING in this is absolutely DELIGHTFUL. and i agree with another comment - this is definitely more like animation than animatic, the movements, the expressions. I love all of this!

So far, Caduceus is probably my favorite character Talesin’s played. He just does such a good job at playing a warm and lovable guy that’s happy to take care of people.

@zaza_ink 8 месяцев назад

Always. Hoard. Weapon parts. Even if they aren't magic, its reliable quick cash and good bartering material at the blacksmith. Want some iron boots but youre 10 gold short? Try offering your bag-o-hilts for a discount. It's easier to clean and reshape existing pommels and crossguards than it is to make them from stock.

Considering Tal said in Caduceus' epilogue that he traveled Exandria from time to time, I choose to believe that he returned to Bisaft and had a pleasant talk with Tisha where he nonchalantly dropped the fact that the sword was a Vestige of Divergence and was reforged in Kravaraad by a legendary smith.

Love the animation but I need to ask, what are the runes you used on the blade of the sword? It looks like Elder Futhark (old Norse runes), and I can get some of them, but half of them I can't figure out. I would have though it would be Dethek (Dwarvish) given that the sword is of Dwarven make, but they don't match up either. You've stumped me lol

@zaza_ink 10 месяцев назад

Hey! Tbh I just used the reference image given of StarRazor in Fjord’s later design to create the shapes of the runes, but sadly I didn’t actually have the time to make the runes authentic to a real set of runic language or a dnd inspired tunic language. I wanted to! But the time wasn’t there for it 😅 Next time I do a board with a runic language I actually want to take the time to put the actual language in there for sure! Actually I’d love to know, if you look up a picture of StarRazor, do you know what runic dialect is inscribed on it? Cause I’d actually love to know!

@melonmode4128 10 месяцев назад

@@zaza_ink It definitely looks like Elder Futhark, which was used before the age of the Vikings. I know Travis also has the same script tattooed on his arm, so that may be the reason why they used the same script for Star Razor. It is strange to me though, because Dethek, the Dwarven script for DnD, is inspired by Futhark, so I personally would have gone for that for the sake of accuracy, but it looks amazing either way. I have a journal with a ton of fantasy alphabets/scripts written in it, as well as Elder and Younger Futhark (since a lot of games use them), so I was able to pick up on it pretty quick. Good job doing the work you did though, it's a wonderful animation.
