Critical Role Animatic: "The Spying Eye" 

Long live Travis the Fjorgetful!

Fjord is the ADHD rep we all deserve

it's Travis, not Fjord. and i love him for it

anyone have a link to the video where the girl asked if it was a Fjord character trait only for Travis to get all flustered because nope, it's just him. (the very next episode Fjord says mentions being forgetful and stares directly at the camera for her)

“Ey Jimbo, do... do you think they noticed the eye?”

@@loganb7059 naaaaw. No one ever noticed the eye. Maybe someone's Ex is coming over or something.

Hilarity ensues.

Guy 1: " Er. They shot something at the eye. " Guy 2: " Maybe they shot somethin' else, let me read their lips. " Guy 2: " D-did you see that e-eye? " Guy 1: " No! You fool, Davy is the lip reader, but they got terminated yesterday! " Guy 2: " Well, the signs point to them knowin' of the eye's presence, but I'm not sure. *Sigh*. Where's the ear when ya' need it? " Guy 1: " As of now, it's listening in on two of our workers, who are suspected of sleeping on the job. " Guy 2: *Yawn.* " Well, I suppose we should just keep watchin'. " *Casually leans back in the chair, and closes eyes. * Guy 1: " Yep, although I sure miss Davy, he was very watchful, we hardly had to do anything! " *Yawn.* Guy 2: *Snore.* Guy 1: *Sleeping with eyes open.* Davy ( recently promoted to manage " the ear ". ): *Listening in with the ear.* " Those snoozin' excuses for watchers will finally get what Is comin' to em'. "

Ha!

Thank you! I don't know if it's how Laura originally intended the line to be delivered, but when I listened to it that's the emotion that I felt so it's what I drew

@@ragdolltwisty I absolutely have to second this. It's like she's realizing what that really means for the first time, and how sad and frightening that thought is. You did a fantastic job representing it visually!

I wonder if she's sad to think about the reasons he has it, or if she's scared she couldnt find him if needed 😥

@@Myrilia think its a bit of both.

I agree with the voice and the expression they just match perfectly

RIGHT, CALEB?! >8D

Thank you!!

Got some Noodle (Gorillaz) vibe from that

Thanks so much!

@@ragdolltwisty Yeah dude, I really dig the clear straight lines and large round edges. It reminds me of a cartoon that I can't quite place. What are your styles/inspirations?

@@ragdolltwisty Avatar! It reminds me of Avatar the last airbender! Marisha especially has a very Sokka facial vibe haha.

@@MrRandomSuperhero haha, you're not the first person to say so! And I love ATLA deeply so I'm totally on board with that... Other cartoon inspirations are Genndy Tartakovsky, Jeff Matsuda... Teen Titans from back in the day... In comics I'm a big fan of Humberto Ramos and Mike Mignola and anyone else who likes dramatic shapes!

@@ragdolltwisty I'll have to check those out then! Keep making this great stuff, can't wait for the next video!

The you can take the accent out of the cowboy but you can't take the cowboy out of the... half-orc... Thank you!!!

Reminded me of Johnny B. Goodlight from Join The Party.

I thought that was canon anyway. Caleb (while suffering from blood loss and fighting Lorenzo) even mentioned that he was doing 'that weird finger motion that he saw Fjord use'.

Finger crossbows

You know I had to do it

I had to go back and rewatch it omg

Did not notice that the first time - was too distracted by Jester's adorable dancing up the stairs.

Bruhhhh that was the FUNNIEST part to me

Made it funnier that Beau who's a citizen of the Empire was the one that said Dynasty.

The himbo was inside him all along, but the wildmother revealed it. Maybe the himbo was the friends we made along the way.

@@lauraeleven7417 "He was always beside you, the himbo within..."

His Grog is showing

I think it makes sense. When he met the group he was pretending to be someone else, even hiding his accent. He did it immitating his mentor and father figure, who in his eyes was probably charismatic and cool. Once he lets it all out and begins to trust them, he embraces his real self and stops acting detached and ruthless.

The Wildmother truly is the goddess of found families

Cad's my favourite

@@ragdolltwisty and you're character design is so feel good!

Agreed! I Love this style!

Yep, his expressions are way better if you compare them to the CR opening for example

I think that's my favourite bit too haha, thank you!!

Thank you very much!!

Thank you so much! The characters in the party are so varied that it was easy to give a unique look to each of them. And trust me, I'm not as good as I'd like to be, let's both keep practising!

Jay Boulton amen to that brother, I am excited to see what you and I create in the future. Do you have an Instagram or something man?

@@colehammill9117 I do now as it happens! instagram.com/thursdayfictions/ I'll be sure to follow back :D

Haha, happy to please!!

Haha, I think Caleb is totally cool. Brooding cool. And thank you, that's so kind!!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I certainly will... Thank you!!

Thanks so much! Yeah, that was just what I felt in her delivery of the line, so it's what I tried to draw. I'm glad you like it!

Thank you, that really means a lot to me!

In my dreams... In my sweetest dreams... Thanks for watching though!!

@@ragdolltwisty I ESPECIALLY love the part from 3:27, their expressions and how you made jester. I can't describe it, but it's just so good!

It does look a lot like the Vox Machina animated art style! Loving this!

Please Jesus let this be the art style they go with for the campaign 2 animated series!!!! I love it so much!!!!!

Thank you so much! Yeah I think I'm largely animation-inspired, so even though I don't really 'animate', I design characters simply enough that they would be good models in a cartoon. I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!! Very kind!

Thank you so much!!

I'm so up for it... Thanks for watching!!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you!!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you! I appreciate it :D

You're too kind, thank you!! It took a week or so of working on it full-time, I think about 56 hours by the end. Thanks for watching!

@@ragdolltwisty Woah!! That's why it looks so good then; talent and dedication!

Thank you so much!

That would be a dream. Thank you!!

Thank you so much!! That means so much :D

caduceus confirmed with melora that it was the dynasty checking in on them and it was not essek, so honestly they could just have said nothing
