Ahoy! I forgot to add a content warnings card, so I'm pinning this here for a more detailed description of what happens- because it's more gory than what I usually do. Jester hits Lucien with a spell (guiding bolt), after this, he rips himself in half, only the beginning of this is shown before it cuts to black with a flesh ripping sound. in the shot with him in it, there is animated blood and you can kinda see his ribs. after it cuts to behind his body and everybody looking at him, but in this shot you can't see any gore. this goes from 0:27 - 0:35
Really captured Jester's anguish after she had just watched Caleb get struck down, protecting her from Lucian's blades. Caleb willed Jester's body over to Caduceus so he could revive her and then Caleb got skewered by Lucien's bladed tendrils, killing him.
I love how you framed the battlefield, when on a map movement and positions of the character sometimes feel unrealistic but the relief you out to it really puts everything in perspective AND make Lucien all the more scary
For the longest time I felt Jester never had to learn from the repercussions of her tricks and pranks. She was an adult child who graffiti art genitalia, odd considering her mom was a shut-in courtesan who she wanted to stop. Looking back her tricks came back to haunt her: she never learned heal spells early on and got her and her friends captured, leading to Mollymauk's death. Then the ultimate trick of freeing her friend by killing him. Add that to the TravelerCon incident and she finally learned to rein in her chaos a bit.
It’s so incredible to see you still doing work for Critical Role, since that was how I found this channel and your art, and this is such a visual treat. Your art always has such a certain touch to it, a very wonderful fluidity which is already clear in the sketchier pieces but ESPECIALLY in polished ones like these, and I can’t tell you what I’d give to see an entire full-length work in your style. Maybe one day!! For now, though, I adore this to bits and will rewatch it so many times. What a great moment to choose too! Jester landing the finishing blow on Lucien was just cinematic poetry and you captured that PERFECTLY. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. 🖤🖤🖤
oh i've kept seeing little previews of this from you over the past year - i am SO SO HAPPY you finally completed it. it's so freaking beautiful and powerful and Jester's FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. i love this so much.
man just when you think you're over the emotional rollercoaster that was the final battle with lucien, talented critters make a fully animated masterpiece that gets you feeling things all over again
Oh my god and I thought your animation of Caduceus schooling Trent Ikithon was amazing, this is on another level! Absolutely stellar, a years worth of work well worth it :)
What an absolutely fantastic birthday present! I *love* the colors in this so much! Campaign 2 will always hold a special place in my heart, and this was such an amazing tribute to them!
The amount of time you but into this really shows, it's so damn pretty. Jester looks like a magical girl while casting the spell, as she would, and it just manages to add to the gravity of the scene so much. I love this.
I'm so thankful that I went looking for more Mollymauk animatics today!! This is absolutely gorgeous!!! The fluidity and style is so brilliant and just the emotion and action of the scene is captured so well. Thank you so much for making this!!!
oh my goodness, this is absolutely gorgeous - holy moly!!! the visuals are stunning and you can really see how much effort you put into this, it’s soooo good 🥺💕
OMG THIS IS AMAZING AND SO COOL I LOVE IT???? ITS AMAZING???? HOLY SHIT???????????? Your animation is so fluid and the colors are amazing and everything flows so well and the angles are amazing and the cinematography of everything!!!!
@@beansbees No problem I'm not one to be squeamish and I knew it was coming but the sound is probably what freaked me out a bit. Loved the video either ways. I might be complaining a bit but I atleast watched the video like 5 times so it's not that bad of a scare LMFAOO
Just beautiful 🥺 incredible how you captured the sense of Jester’s last attack being delivered with a sense of peace, almost… and then all the poor Aeoreans finally being freed 😭😭
Absolutely beautiful. Reduced me to tears. Loved the music choice! The emotion in jesters face, and the fluidity of the animation were great. Looooved the visuals of all the souls at the end
How crazy that I was just checking in with your channel to watch all the Critical Role animatics over again and there was a new, freshly-posted masterpiece! This is beautiful, I'm so happy to see this poignant moment done in your style. You really capture something with your work~
Ahoy!

Meanwhile Caleb dead on the ground: you're welcome 👍
Jester: Standing before you...is death.
