hey everyone! it's been a while, huh? I got to animate one of the last shots for the Tazanimated project from a few years back!
it was TONS of fun revisiting old favs <3
compared to the first shot I did all the way back in 2017, I've learned a lot since then, so I'm happy I was able to do this!
you can watch the entire project here:
This was a multi-animator project that spanned nearly 6 years from 2017 to 2023 with over 150 participants! The video covers an edited version of episode 4 of The Adventure Zone: Balance running about 34 minutes long.
The video currently lacks official subtitles. When those are added, a post will be made on this blog to announce it.
randomly I am thinking about merle highchurch and just. the fact that he’s so utterly irreverent and not even remotely religious despite being a cleric and the line “I may not be your pan but you will always be my merle” and just the implication that for a hundred years merle landed on world after world and every single pan on every single one of those worlds took one look at this god-awful plant-horny dwarf and went holy shit holy shit I love this little guy he’s my poor little meow meow my scrimblo I’m gonna give him superpowers
ok this post exploded so I want to share my favorite tags

the raven queen, who recently (in god years) adopted her new boy kravitz, a handsome, charming, and respectable young composer: oh congratulations, pan! who is it?
pan: [gestures to merle who is crouched down on the ground with his butt in the air eating dirt] isnt he beautiful
the raven queen:
[merle spits out a rock]
istus: you know I can kinda see it
pan: RIGHT
the taako show, starring taako
So I made a TAZ animatic
it’s THEM! ✨🌿🪓🌂✨
[ID: Drawing of Taako, an elven man with tan, freckled skin and blonde hair in a long braid. He is wearing blue and purple wizard robes and a hat. He is seated on top of Garyl, a white binocorn with rainbow colored hair. They appear to be at the first window of a drive through. Speaking to the employee inside, Taako says, “Yeah, can I get uh…fucking….uhhh.” End ID]
This came to me in a vision
POV: You’re a teenage wizard’s apprentice and you’ve tried to get a part time job as far from your wacky family as possible, but your wizard mentor keeps summoning his spectral steed specifically to order from your drive through.
[ID: A drawing of a teenage angus Mcdonald working a fastfood drive through. He has brown skin, short, curly hair, and a slight build. He is wearing typical fastfood hat, shirt, and jeans. He is standing by the ordering window and facing forward with a very annoyed expression. Outside the window is Taako, an elven wizard, riding on a spectral binocorn. Taako has tan skin, curly blonde hair, and a slight build. He is wearing blue and purple wizard robes. Garyle, the binocorn, is mostly pink, with a muticolored mane. Taako looks to be in the middle of ordering food. A flashy sign inside the restaurant reads: “The Taako™ burger.” End ID]
finished yet another Balance relisten today, and fell in love with Lup all over again
[id: Illustration of Lup and Barry from The Adventure Zone. Lup is a dark skinned female elf in her spectral lich form, she's wearing a red robe, and her hair is bright orange, it looks like a flame, with sparks flying around it, her eyes are the same color, and there's a golden skull painted on her face. Barry is a chubby white man in glasses, wearing a black jacket, white shirt and blue jeans. in the top panel they stand next to each other, and Lup says "hear that, babe?" in the middle panel her hands catch fire, and the bottom one depicts a close-up of her face, her canines are golden, she's wearing a gold septum ring and several earrings. she smiles and says "we're legends". /end id]
when in doubt draw lup ^-^
Litches Get Stitches, as the saying goes
Some fanart of Lup!

This art has been missing from my blog ever since the purge of 2019 and I don’t even have the option of getting it restored, so I figured it was about time to reupload it. However I can’t even reupload it as it originally was, because it gets removed as soon as the picture loads in. Like I don’t even have to properly post it. So here is a slightly darker, contrasty version of the original art. I don’t know what the tumblr algorithm thought this image was. But I guess the color red is illegal now.
Right underneath that window, you see a crystallized figure. (Follow me on twitch where I draw these illustrations live and support me on ko-fi and patreon!)
Patron request for Carrie and Killian!!! Never drew out my version of them before, so this was super fun!! I like making orcs more pig/boar based, hence Killian’s floppy ears and spots. And Carrie’s inspired by a mix of Gecko + Horned lizard~
