Critical Role Animatic: "Gingersnap Cookies" (C3E22)

[@morbidnumbskull]

I have an idea, it's probably a bad idea but still an idea. I want to play DnD with you numbskulls. Deelusi and I started a discord server for people who support our work , people that just want to chat or share their art or to spread DnD memes. You can join the DeeHouse server here: discord.gg/EMCymSVf We can build a DnD party just use the "find-a-party" channel.

[@KnicKnac]

Build-a-party sounds like Build-a-bear except full of shiney click clacks.

[@janine9140]

that's a great idea! if only I'm not an addict already and don't have 4 different ttrpg games in a week.. but yes that would be nice. if I can cram more games in a week I would but sleep is apparently an necessity

[@MambaRanger]

be down depending on the day and time.

Fearne stealing the coffee stirrer was A+. No notes whatsoever😄😄😄

[@엘제-k9u]

Really hope she gets to steal his tray someday

[@TakeWalker]

the extreme casualness was beautiful

[@UncleBlerd]

CONCURRED!

[@OttersDen]

SAME. Absolutely brilliant bit of detail. 🤣

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

Straight into the Cleavage of Holding.

[@pandaua7426]

"Grab my supplies... tonight I bake." Not gonna lie, while the implication is to bake cookies, the line sounds more intimidating than it should be and I'm all here for it.

[@christophertidwell2422]

Sounds like he's gonna either get seriously high or kick some ass in great British bake off

[@detectiveghost8856]

Same!!!

[@bionicdragon5]

"Bells! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight, we bake in hell!"

[@heorldofrock]

Would be a great line for a Barbarian with the Baker background.

[@damiennightmaresx7950]

i was so pumped for what ever reason xDD

[@crzycras8895]

I really hope that one day, Matt just for the hell of it actually bakes those gingersnap cookies for the table

[@vanerek]

just like Travis is bringing "Chet's" prop toys to the table?

[@neontenebrae1918]

The Halloween episode next year, Marisha will come as Laudna and Matt as Eshteross just for the cookie gag.

[@samreid6010]

@@neontenebrae1918 spoilers Who knows if that’ll happen at this point :(

[@HuginnHufflepuff]

Someone did, and I ate one from a batch I made myself as I typed this.

tonight, we bake, at dawn we plan, at midday we discuss the physics of a foldable hole.

*Chetney rushing in* "What was that last part!!?"

[@willowbutler-cowlishaw2008]

I'm stealing that pun, and you have no way to stop me!

[@RenatoGPadilla]

MY GOD THE ASHTON RKO WAS BEAUTIFUL! Fearne stealing the little stirrer was great and ESHTEROSS WALKING OUT LIKE THE CHAD HE IS! Your expressiveness is absolutely wonderful!

[@michaelfinnerty7240]

The real question is, which snapped harder: Chetney's spine, Lord Eshteross' neck, or the gingersnap cookies?

[@GhostBear3067]

Yes.

[@gabegrether8647]

The world may never know...

[@anonymouslyknown6530]

Trick question the real answer is Laudna's neck snapping from the Sun tree.

[@benvoliothefirst]

...did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck, and saved the day!

[@jeepersmcgee3466]

@@benvoliothefirst turns out finding Ryan George references in completely random places is super easy, barely an inconvenience

[@lobokujo7825]

Really like this adjusted design of Laudna you have going on. A good blend of pretty and creepy, fitting for someone that is suppose to look like Vex... But is also dead. Great job as always!

[@vanerek]

she's both pretty creepy, and creepily pretty

[@MadamFoogie]

Agreed! I like her teeth. They're tiny and scary.

[@noahdaglio9362]

Esteross gives the best retired Batman energy

[@morbidnumbskull]

I used a lot of old Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond as reference for Lored Eshteross

[@doctorshark509]

Laudna being completely in love with the cookies is amazing. Also, DAMN IT FEARNE NOT AGAIN!

[@fin-as-drago9479]

Talisan is just chaotic as Ashton and I love it. Plus estheross is just one of best npcs Matt has made, the man is a recluse with a lot of skills, fighting, weapon proficiency, espionage, travel and of course, Baking.

[@AB-xj9tz]

That last esteross bit is SMOOTH! Also what the fun music playing in the background when laudna starts talking?

[@flaminyawn]

I don't know the exact source, but it sounds like something from the Disgaea series.

@@morbidnumbskull Thank you so much.

[@Vespuchian]

@@morbidnumbskull Let’s face it, Laudna is totally a Disgaea character, perfect music choice

[@clivevii2231]

This version of Imogen made me feel things I haven't felt in a while, I love her

[@petalsinthebreeze]

Gives me major "quirky girl who sits alone in the library at lunch" vibes and I love it

[@DMingThoughts]

Imogen wears glasses, canon.

[@kagemarunl]

Whether she likes it or not, yep! XD

[@MadamFoogie]

Canon.

[@Vespuchian]

TONIGHT… WE BAKE! (kitchen boss music begins) Love all the little motions during Laudna’s dialogue, Fearne stashing things in her secret compartment was also a nice addition. Fine work as always!

[@gabegrether8647]

Ah, yes. The infamous "Fun Bags of Holding" XD

[@soullessphantom6887]

"Tonight I bake " sounds so epic every time I hear it

[@kevinobill4818]

0:51 Fearne’s cute uwu face does make me laugh

[@TonksTheFool]

His "tonight I bake" and the walk animation after cracking his knuckles was FANTASTIC

[@spidermeadows]

I'm a simple man. I see Laudna in one of your thumbnails, and I'm in. And that Disgaea music...pefection!

[@morbidnumbskull]

I got click baited by my own video

[@cybermadness2503]

Another amazing CR animatic, as always! 👍 Also, I love the way you drew Fearne's fancy outfit, as well as the braided end. SO CUTE!

[@yodawgzgaming4416]

That intro bit of Ashton ruining Chetney's invitation was fantastic to include too, I hope it becomes a running gag for Ash as well

[@Mezmero]

When Laudna first took her form of dread in the first episode of the campaign, I immediately thought of the possibility that her patron might be Isharnai. It turned out to be D in the end but it might have made this compulsion towards baked goods be a funny consequence for Jester's trick in C2.

[@ventusvindictus]

Everyone's talking about Fearne stealing the spoon, but the real star of the show is Ashton's flawlessly animated jump and elbow drive! XD

[@BlackironEzekiel]

Daaaaamn dude! The quality of these videos is getting better and better each time!

[@Wargames50]

His face when he proclaims "Tonight I bake" got me XD What a great character, and you bring him to life so well!!

[@tylerpeneder1986]

For those wondering what is playing behind Laudna at 0:32-0:35 it's a video by Food Wishes on ginger snaps.

[@PressingPlayneon]

There's the C R U N CH! YES!

[@MadamFoogie]

FEARNE! You do NOT need that coffee stirrer! It's literally a stick, stoppit! D< Also, I love how Matt's big burly NPCs enjoy cooking. It's too cute. First we get a charming ogre chef, and now a terrifying orc battle master lord who likes to bake as a hobby. If only Jester was here.

[@kagemarunl]

Jrusar cooking club!! 8D

[@MadamFoogie]

@@kagemarunl OMG this should totally be a thing. Adorable! WE NEED A COOK-OFF! Pretty vs. Lord Esteross!

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

Don't forget the new Bugbear on the airship! Can't remember her name, but people are already declaring her Pretty's soulmate, lol

[@MadamFoogie]

@@SomeKZbinTraveler Oh yeah! I nearly forgot about Denalia, since she's so new. Don't feel bad, I also had to look up her name. Gotta say, though. A bugbear cook? She's going to need a full-body hair net! We need a _Masterchef_ style oneshot. I wonder what race of creature Ramsay would be? Right now, I'm feeling minotaur. Either that, or maybe some non-chromatic dragon. Something big and scary, with great deal of skill, and arrogance.

[@brianverrett]

THAT ELBOW DROP BROKE ME

[@Letham316]

And also Chetney. 😂

[@SilentSooYun]

Love, love, LOVE the "cookie fantasy" background montage you gave Laudna! That's some top-shelf production quality there :)

[@chromegaman]

Love that despite official artwork, Imogen now has glasses due to fan art and pressure.

[@ABronzeSoul]

The speed at which you make these is crazy.

[@oddfreaks6452]

I’m just here silently crushing on Fearne

[@claired2452]

The neck and hand cracking, both design and sounds are perfect! And I do love how you got Esteross to go from skeptical "Are you blowing smoke up my tusks" to that happy little saunter to go make ginger snaps! 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤

[@brittanyanderson97]

I love the addition of the shark style teeth to Laudna it’s just *chef’s kiss* so perfectly creepy.

[@merindab]

You're one of my favorite animatics on here. Love it.

[@Chaosmage42]

gingers snaps are actually really good if their made from scratch the store bought ones just cant compare

[@kag2576]

Holy shiz those animations are fluid. And I love the way you've drawn each of the characters, you are insanely talented

[@morbidnumbskull]

Thank you

[@KunKunGun]

Great Job! The sound effects add so much to the scenes!

Matt: let me create this wise and powerful NPC to give this new party their quests. A patron if you will Party: Daddy can you bake us some cookies? Matt's NPC: not after that note your teacher sent home about breaking a window at achool

[@Slugger1990]

man, these animations are always so fantastic. I hate that they're so short, but I used to draw in High school, so I get that its a lot of hard work. guess i gotta watch them a few times back to back.

[@m-ar2378]

Imogen with glasses lowkey looks awesome lmao

[@OttersDen]

Lord Eshteross is 100% Bruce Wayne from "Batman Beyond," with a pinch of Julia Child thrown in.

[@OttersDen]

Oh, shout-out to the music selection, too. Danny Elfman-esque music suits Laudna PERFECTLY.

[@amber7368]

Esteross is really becoming one of my favorite NPCs this campaign

[@brycevo]

Esteross had become such a treat

[@brokenbladeworkshop8405]

Oh my god its been literally years since I've heard anyone use Disgaea music just for that you have my heart

[@fenrirlives2226]

You animated the elbow drop with such aplomb! It was truly worthy of a pro wrestler I tell you!

I love the chemistry between Laudna and Esteros. They have such a great dynamic and it makes me happy, especially with the way you animated them here ^.^

[@pyrosianheir]

God, I will never not love every iota of Laudna's energy. She's quickly becoming one of the most iconic characters of CR, at least for me.

I love how it’s canon that Imogen has glasses now 😂

[@StJohnGaming]

Can't wait for Chetney's after hours merchant visit. Please make that animation.

[@morbidnumbskull]

i dunno how to draw werewolves
