I finished the Taako drawing, so now the set of these are complete! I wanted to illustrate some of my favorite quotes from the podcast, since they’ve continued to stick with me since I finished it :’)
[ID: A series of three drawings of characters from The Adventure Zone. The first features Taako, an Elven man with long braided blond hair. He is wearing a red robe with the IPRE insignia on it and is holding the Umbrastaff. His head is slightly bowed and his eyes are closed. Behind him is Lup, an Elven woman. She is facing away from the viewer and is wearing a red robe. She is holding out both hands to her sides and there are small flames above each hand. In the background there is a sun, a moon, and stars. Text above Taako’s head says “I have a beating heart”.
The next drawing features Magnus Burnsides, a human man pale skin and red hair. He has sideburns and a scar over one eye. He is wearing a red jacket with the IPRE insignia on it. Magnus is bowing his head slightly with his eyes closed. Magnus is holding Fisher, a small jellyfish creature, cradled in his arms. Behind Magnus is the Kodiak bear who is standing upright with his paws on Magnus’s shoulders. In the background there are small wooden ducks and music notes. Text above Magnus says “It’s not perfect but it’s the best I can do”.
The last drawing features Merle Highchurch, a dwarven man with a long white ponytail and a large white beard with pink flowers in it. Merle is wearing a red jacket with the IPRE insignia on it. He also has glasses. Merle is holding his hands folded in front of him like he’s praying. Behind him is John, a tall man with salt and pepper hair. There are cracks in his face through which a black substance with red, green, blue, and yellow spots are visible. John is looking over his shoulder down at Merle. In the background there are gold chess pieces as well as white eyes looking out from a black background. Text above Merle says “I choose joy”. /end ID]

Birthday commission number two–THB of The Adventure Zone fame! I thought I’d go for a final battle look and take this chance to lock down my color choices for the boys (though they’ll probably change again, haha). Anyway, so much fun!!! I really got into this one! 😀

threeee more days til taz s2!! i’m gonna miss the balance boys, but I’m going to taz live in June… and ‘til then I’m looking forward to more Duck and Beacon lol
After all this time I decided to sit down and make proper design sheets for those kids. I’ve come a long way ever since I drew them first – the fullbody pieces in the middle of the sheets are slightly updated, but are actually the very first drawings I made of the three of them.
It’s interesting to see that they have changed, and yet I kind of stuck with my first vision (except for Taako, who went through a pretty big re-design.)
I adore them still and I always will…
Don’t think I’ve forgotten about these boys > : O
“And now we just wait. Shouldn’t take too long. Um, what are your names, again?”
