Critical Role Animatic: "Accent"

#CriticalRole
#DungeonsAndDragons
Audio from Critical Role Campaign 2 Episode 87
Just a short scene after a big boss battle
Oh how I missed drawing Obann arc Yasha, I must say Sam Riegel is the master of diffusing an emotionally heavy scene, one moment they're reminiscing about a dead ally, and suddenly he goes on making fun about Fjord's accent

Travis at the end "I think I know a guy in Texas who that happened to" HAS ME WHEEZING

“He’s just starting to walk and talk again.” She says as she’s running away from the half-orc who is “just starting to walk again”

He's just starting to WALK again. He was always able to run.

My sister once punched me so hard that I got blisters where her knuckles hit me!

[@biancabrooks280]

And later every starts smacking Fjord on his coughtitscough rock hard pecs. Just feeding that familial sibling energy.

[@OliviaLiliana]

@@RefugeeOfReality You know, something the fact that I'm an only child makes me feel like I missed out on a fundamental part of my childhood... And then I see something like this and I start to reconsider.

I'll admit. I've been watching Critical Role from the start and I got tired of the recap animations people do, but GOOD GOD, yours is phenomenal! Amazing work! LOL

Fjord: Got kicked by a donkey. Killed my whole family.

I love how when they're on sea, Nott is all like YESCAPTAIN and Ultimate Respect, but all the other times she constantly talks about how weak he is. It's hilarious and I love them

[@weebjeez]

Well, I will say this: Nott has the second highest INT score of the party, and isn't very far off from Caleb in that regard. So she's smart enough to know that, at sea, you defer to the one who has seafaring experience... Especially when you're terrified of water, and he's the best swimmer, by far.

[@danielcastillo591]

You don't piss off your best swimmer when you're out in the open sea, that's just good logic

[@TropicStormed]

The "I knew a guy in Texas that happened to" gets me every time

They all have sibling energy to an extent

This molly scene hurts more

[@Clone6385]

He was molly now he’s back to being Lucien

[@ripple-effect-mlp]

@@Clone6385 I'm kinda hoping that Matt Mercer remembers that Cadeuces said, "I made the earth remember him (Molly)." and that he might have a plan that would make that statement bite Lucien in the butt.

[@jevanking4768]

Just starting to walk and talk’ yet he can chase after a rogue, no wonder yasha didn’t believe her

[@gyrrakavian]

Weirdly enough, foreign accent syndrome is a thing. It's pretty rare and usually happens when the speech center gets hit in just the right way.

[@GhostBear3067]

Incidentally a part of the head well within donkey strike range.

[@Rigel_6]

@@GhostBear3067 Frontal lobe then, I presume?

[@Suralin0]

I remember hearing about a guy who got impacted and wound up being only able to speak Swedish. (Despite not having been able to speak the language previously.)

[@gyrrakavian]

@@Suralin0 urban legend. He'd have had to pick up the language from somewhere. And the "evidence" for humans having genetic memory is anecdotal at best.

[@LordVader1094]

@@gyrrakavian All animals have genetic memory tho. That's how evolution works. That's why Lemurs are still scared of birds that went extinct millenia ago. That shit ain't anecdotal lol

[@jkkj8373]

Fjord's face, lol. The yellow eyes totally sell his mood

[@VampireTheory]

The slow zoom on Caduceus laughing is peak comedy

[@calamari_genie]

My favorite part. Comedy gold, plus Taliesin's laugh is just a delight

[@buzznat20]

[@audoldends6799]

Yasha’s voice is so sweet when she said he was Mollymauk

Fandom: We know what you mean, girl. 🥹

[@AnimeWolf5193]

You know it's funny when Matt almost does a spit take.

[@LukeLavablade]

The way your draw Nott has such Catra vibes, I think it's the ears. This was a great animatic, I love how you drew Yasha's subtle expressions.

[@a-rat-in-your-walls]

The best part about this is Travis at the end saying he knew a guy that this ACTUALLY happened to.

[@lillianconstencedoodles]

I think he was talking about getting kicked by a donkey while tying his shoe. Not the accent thing

[@TakeWalker]

*WHACK* "It's healed now!"

[@custodeon]

One of my dad's army buddies, very much a white american man, got a brick dropped on his head, could not be convinced that he was _not_ a black irishman.

these are my favorite animations of CR. I like the eyes have such vibrant colors, also the character design looks great to me!

[@morbidnumbskull]

Glad you like them!

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

I've said it once, I'll say it again: Fjord and Nott/Veth have the biggest sibling energy. Just the sheer level of teasing.

[@Styxintheriver]

The fuckin zoom in on Cad's laugh is perfect

[@Nychico510]

Nott and fjord fighting that was so cute and donkey rolled a crit on that kick

[@ripple-effect-mlp]

the fjord and nott running part is really nicely animated dude - and the whole thing is hilarious ofc :)

[@morbidnumbskull]

Thank you

[@sleepinghermit7778]

Only at the end of your video did I finally get that this was supposed to be a Shrek joke, and it totally went over my head.

[@commander515]

I love the sudden cartoony music shift once Nott starts her bit of BS...but I think the quick shot of Beau and Jester standing side by side & laughing is my favorite :-) Plus the art and the animations are just so damn good...

I forget is there an in game reason he switched accents or was Travis just tired of the accent.

[@Blue_Lunacy]

In one of the Talk episode, Travis said that he hated the accent. So he went and talked to Matt about changing it. Which, I guess, lead to a back story and character reason to explain the early game accent.

[@budget_gandalf]

@@Blue_Lunacy yeah but what was the in game reason?
