[@the26thLetteroftheAlphabet]

I LOVE THE LITTLE THUMBNAIL DISNEY SCOTT!!!

[@ssavaart]

Isn't it ADORABLE?

[@the26thLetteroftheAlphabet]

i would watch and/or create a movie where that's the main character who goes on a quest as the wise mentor/parent figure for a wonderfully diverse group of less experienced characters, and they all have flaws that are worked on throughout the progression of the story. and with an amazing art style (or, like, a ton of art styles because that would be cool)

[@ruleofthree99]

I love when you said “let your art be wonky - that’s what makes it art”. I was watching an urban sketching tutorial yesterday and was shocked when the artist said “yes, the building is leaning more than it is in real life, but I like it that way! I’ll leave it.” Sometimes what we think of as “mistakes” are just part of the art :)

[@ratman9778]

I dont want this to be cliche or sound stupid, but I do genuinely want to be like you when I grow up, having an entire room dedicated for art, and having SO much representation in that art. Your videos always inspire me to create :)

[@abbyb6958]

As a physically disabled person and ambulatory wheelchair user, I teared up seeing you include a wheelchair user and that it wasn’t an afterthought. You put so much thought and care into the design of the wheelchair. I truly appreciate that you recognized a stranger touching someone’s wheelchair is not okay. Your instinct to be inclusive is so refreshing and is a big reason I adore you and your art🩷

When I hear “can I have wheelchair in a fantasy setting?” I found myself smiling I’m not physically disabled but I’m neurodivergent and hearing you say those words really made me feel seen thanks you!

I like to think that the (definetly not you) orc character is the very successfull owner of the tavern. He has that sort of smile that he is just happy to have made a welcoming space for everyone to meet up and make good memories.

[@maryrottman1530]

I want to thank you. I gave up on art because I kept over thinking what I was trying to create and couldn't get what was going on the paper to perfectly match what was in my head. Your video was inspiring, you showed and talked about how art doesn't have to be perfect, if you keep going your art can turn out better than what you imagined. Now I want to try again, thanks to you, Scott. Watching your picture come to life was amazing. Thank you for sharing your art and wisdom.

[@ssavaart]

You are so welcome!

[@Leo-fc5od]

I love how respectfull and inclusive you are with drawing representation of all kinds of people! Fantasy should reflect real life and people in real life are diverse and unique :)

[@margrette5386]

I'm still not even half way through watching it and I just have to say, this, everything, is just so beautiful. I know a lot of others have probably said this, but you're a great source of inspiration that is getting me more into art and the real beauty of it. Everything you have said so far has really resonated with me and brought some sort of comfort as well. I'm glad I came to this video.

[@ssavaart]

Wow, thank you!

I love the elf. She’s so boujee and the way she carries herself, I reckon she would be a sorcerer.

I don't comment on really any videos, and am not much into D&D, but I am disabled and the representation with the mage in the wheelchair and the autistic centaur? The thought put into the dragonborne having their hand on the wheelchair? Absolutely amazing. The whole artwork is stunning and I loved watching the process, but the part that captivated me the most was the representation and positivity. 🫶

[@audreybooth4040]

My alone time to unwind at night is so important to me, tonight I just turned on this video cause I saw the short form content in bits and pieces and wanted to see the full through line(plus I love DnD so this was right up my alley), and I got the idea to draw alongside you and began inking a piece at the same time. I swear I’ve never felt so at peace. I love the insight you have on art, I love that it was virtually an art “play date” as you like to say, and I love the finished ink work on my character. Thanks for all that you do, you inspire me every day to be a better artist and human. 🖤🖤🖤

Goblin is a bit tall but that’s a very tiny thing. I’m glad overall you didn’t draw her as just a green halfling. I really really love this painting and think the representation is amazing

Love Disney Scott, the cartoon is instantly recognizable when my feed pops up and it's so cute it makes me smile. Well done!

[@poppythecat454]

I absolutely love what you have done here. I am in a wheelchair and not enough artists add disabled people into their work. Can't wait to order this print !!

[@Z_A22703]

I had this idea that the tortle, grandmother-like character is the owner of the tavern, or is the parent of the owner of the tavern. Who hands out snacks to the kids that pass by. I saw another comment in which the person thought that the orc, that definitely isn’t Scott, was the tavern’s owner, so maybe he’s the tortle’s adoptive son, or something- This is just an idea or suggestion! I love your art, and this work, and just your whole vibe- or feel, Scott. You’re a huge inspiration to me, as a small artist, and I love your level of inclusiveness!

Hi, I was always curious about this kind of against "people who over react to therians, furrys etc." is it like a spirit animal? Thank you if you answer my question.

​@@MYR_112 Heres my explanation of therianthropy (at least how i experience it) Therians feel a non physical connection and identity to a specific species of animal or multiple speicies. This connection may by just physiological, or may be due to a past life. Therians don’t think theyre physically animals, and are NOT the same thing as furries! Hope this helps!

[@aninastorm4709]

I have endless admiration for the beauty and wonder that is this painting, and the amazing work Scott put into it! I love all the detail and experience and the subtle interactions between the characters, I love how colorful the Guild is and how it looks like a big group photo and I love the diversity. But most of all I love all the little stories that are hidden in the painting, some maybe intentionally and some not. Like how the two human fighters are sitting with serious faces watching the dwarf, maybe wondering why he has his axe drawn. The shared glances between the centaur and the quiet one The tiefling smirking as they see the halfling and shifter goofing off How the knome and the pink haired elf woman look like they are giggling over an inside joke The kenku staring into nothingness dreaming about stabbing And how it looks like the fawn is a little weary or surprised by the enchantresses magic. Also I like to try to find the sweaters/cloaks that I think the old tortle made (I also like to think that she made the ear-defenders for the centaur)

IT IS DONE! I'm so happy to see this finished. "Join me later for an autistic centaur" and "It's kobold time!" are definitely up there with the greatest lines ever uttered. 37 characters is mad. You might've already explained it and I just missed it, but is there a reason you picked that? Or did you just find 37 beautiful reference photos and stuck with that? I LOVE your character art. The two test characters with just watercolors and ink were so cool. They look like they should be illustrations in like a fantasy guidebook or something. With the painting, it surprised me a little that you did the characters one by one. My usual process is laying out the shadows and basic colors for all characters in the scene so I can be 100% sure that they'll all look like they belong because I tend to accidentally make some stand out too much from the rest. I really like the gnome. From the first sketch, I liked their cheerful expression. You're on point with the "I'd desperately try to avoid someone like them at social events", but I think I wouldn't mind just being in their presence. Maybe from a distance, but they seem fun to me. Centaur and the quiet lady are adorable. The big cat character is really cool, too. I'd call them Tora which means tiger in Japanese, and in Old Norse the name realtes to the god Thor. Sorry for the long comment. I'm really excited about this. I also just wanted to thank you again. I'm an autistic, transmasculine, gay artist and it really means the world to me to see allies be so outspoken about their support. I owe my life to allies like you and I really don't think I would be here today, at least definitely not as happy as I am these days. I love the diverse cast of characters and I'm sure everyone else who is in some way represented in your art is really thankful for your support as well. Thank you for everything
