agreed, most dwarve's be they male or femal have stubble or even full on beard's, that they often keep well groomed, though some people out there may not know that after all it isn't eactly common knowlage outside of D&D or people who know their lore and fanticy novle's
It's very upsetting to me that so many of these characters weren't in his previous speedpaint, which was only characters still alive... meaning that they are most likely dead...
@@reidisdoodling So far Nagar had 3 (visible) tattoos. A dragon, a bird, and swords. I really hope Rook is alive. Could someone try to guess who died? If Rook did die the closest tattoo would've been the dragon I think, because of his lil companion.
If I had a dollar for every time I was impressed with your art skills, I could be debt free, living in a mansion with a pool and a game room, be able to buy all the animals I've ever wanted, and still have enough money leftover to eat my weight in ice cream sandwiches. Just....whoa 💕 Also your chibi designs are so cute I could die
Each characters max stat: Paddy: Gayness Gwing: Actually being sane Rook: Cuteness Ava: Alcoholism Torlin: Scp 999's jealousy Gimgar: Bad bitch Nagar: Cinnamon roll
My friend has a dwarf with stubble, she was really confused when she asked me to draw them, and i asked if she wanted a beard. I had to give her the dwarf talk too. I don't know what it is about dwarves, but they are so fun to draw.
"and her animal companion Nala" Me: *Dides of laughter* I have a Firbog ranger named Nala she is the dumbest ranger in the universe and i love her dearly But yeh funny cognisance
Honestly I love warm and friendly Dragonborn characters. It’s really nice to see a happy lil cinnamon roll who could also beat you up if they had too Also, I have a Dragonborn bard who I love. His name is Valentino, and he’s a bit of a flirt, but is more so just a giant adorable doofus. He’s already got a cute little pit bull he rescued from an alley (this world is ruled over by a tyrant king and most of the people don’t live very good lives), and my DM spoiled that she’s gonna give him a kitten and eventually a Dragonborn egg. I don’t know why I just went on a rant I just really love my Valentino
It's okay, dnd characters should excite you and it's a good sign you can't shut up about them. I love this description, I have a soft spot for both Dragonborn and bards, so this speaks to me. Have fun playing Valentino!
I have a Dragonborn barbarian named Anju (nickname Angie) who was basically kept in isolation all her life until she ran away. She is a total sweetheart, but not that wise. She is confused about common sense and normal life in general because of her parents keeping her away from society. She is serious most of the time so she doesn't get embarrassed when she gets something wrong and loves chicken wings lmao
Ughhh I just adore Gimgar’s eyes! They are just so cool looking! I love the blacked out sclerae.These stickers are so amazing and cute! I really hope I can buy them sometime ^^
As a fellow artist, I can't help but be in awe at how clever your colour swatch blobs are!! I'd never considered shaping them to be kind of person shaped so it was easy to see where each colour would go and I think I'm going to start implementing that into my work!
You have no idea how much this makes me want to draw my current campaign but since it’s prohibition era instead of normal dnd everyone’s human and I can’t draw people for crap. I’ve only ever drawn anthro characters so it’s a bit of a learning curve for me, but honestly you’re one of the people that makes me want to learn how! Keep up the awesome work!
I'm drawing my d&d characters while I listen!! My first is a rogue wood-elf named Sebastian but he just goes by Bastian, he's loud and very chaotic and sometimes lets his emotions take control of his choices, leading him to scenarios where there isn't a clear way out but he finds his way. The second is Lyra and she's a tiefling bard, she's also chaotic baby and is a total sweet heart although she cusses like it's her first language. I'm going slightly into her story because it made me cry while writing and I tear up when talking about her story. She was taken in by a dragonborn couple when she was young started adventuring at 14. When she was young she was always seen wearing a yellow ribbon in her hair and whenever her dragonborn dad would go away for weeks she'd wrap the ribbon around his wrist so that he'd have to return home safely to return it. Before leaving on her most daring quest her father wrapped the ribbon around her wrist so she'd come home safely, sadly when she did her home was wrecked and her parents were missing. In her design she still has that ribbon on her no matter what. Lastly we have Gabriel and he's a Faun, he is awkward and clumsy baby!! He is 5'6" and fits women armor, after a few jokes with my sister he now clothes that look rather feminine. He also has a viking lady love because I rushed to stop her for killing my sister for stealing drinks and rolled a nat 20 to seduce her. He's 5'6" with a strong 5'3" viking lady who insists on carrying him around and dotes on him. It's cute.
I just got finished preparing for my DnD session tomorrow (I'm DMing for some friends). It was nice to be able to sit down and watch this right afterwards, especially since High Hopes really got me back into DnD :D
These are all so adorable! I can't wait to learn more about the team. Now I've gotta go draw my new character, Lark, in this style cause it would definitely suit him well I think.
YAY YOURE BACK!!!! Hey Alex when’s part two coming?! I can’t wait! I absolutely love your work and everyone’s at high hopes and I can’t wait to see more!
Watching your videos makes me want to sit down and draw, I love how much just watching your drawing process inspires me. And I can never get enough of your voice, it's so soothing and pleasant to listen to. Keep up the good work
Every time I watch your videos I die of happiness on the inside which is nice I don't really feel happiness that much anymore thank you for helping me get through middle school
I love the diversity of the characters and how they are drawn! For whatever reason i think of my tiefling bard that plays the fiddle when i watch this :3
I love listening to your videos. They are so calming and nice to put on while I work on stuffs. I see the vids pop across my notifications and I'm like whelp.... i should be making art right now. I just put your channel on and get to it! :)
PSEUDODRAGONS ARE THE BEST FAMILIARS!!! My half-drow has one as her familiar and she’s so precious! I always love your artwork and the stories that come with it!
Ahhhhhh! I finally got a DND group!!!! I'm so stoked! We meet every Friday after school and build an area in the woods were we play, it's like our home base! I can't wait to join the world of DND this upcoming Friday when we first start. Btw I'm loving your parties characters! The more I see them drawn, the more I love the story behind them! Keep up the awesome work!❤️
This makes me want to do chibi art for my party! I DM two games and I think my players would appreciate little chibis of their characters. Thanks for the inspiration as always!
I love how everyone in the comments ie like “Of course Ava will have a stubble” when majority of the people watching High hopes Low rolls don’t play DnD xD like of course we wouldnt know xD (i dont play DnD but fantasy is a major part of my creativity so i didnt question when she had a beard)
This is some proper lovliness, sir. I find it hilarious that in the current campaign I'm playing, I'm playing as an Irish Wood Elf Blood Hunter Werewolf (Too many words...) who never knew his family and was introduced to the party by giving them a message from a doctor I was working for, thinking I was all creative, then my friend showed me this. And then I was like: "... Welp. There goes my creative dignity..." Worst part is I'd never seen this beforehand.
Aaah Rook seems like such a cute character! Can’t wait to find out more about him and the rest of the crew~! (Makes me excited to begin playing my own PC in a new campaign as well!)
in the dnd campaign I'm playing with my friends I play a female dwarf druid too and I love to mention in every session that my character has a short beard xD I just love the fact that female dwarf have beards it is so nice
I really love this story! It’s so calming and really nice to follow. Your art style is so amazing and charming and all the characters are incredible. Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
Not recognizing some of these characters from past speedpaints and stuff is making me so scared they're going to die. (also I think it's cool how you put your color pallets in the rough shape of the character so you can make sure it has good contrast)
I missed sleep to watch this, with a dnd session happening tomorrow that I'm hosting, and I'm not even mad. Your artstyle and voice is so calming, glad I watched this before going to bed :D
They all turned out so adorable and lovely! Watching this made me miss my drawing tablet though. 🥺 the series is amazing so far and I’m so excited for the next episode! Wonderful work from the whole crew (*´꒳`*)
Omg. I just noticed that Ava has facial hair when you mentioned it 😂 I WATCHED THE LARGE HIGH HOPES LOW ROLLS SPEEDPAINT 12 TIMES ALREADY AND I JUST NOTICED!! 😂😂
These are amazing and I am grateful to finally find the link to your store XD Need me that awesome poster. If you are heading down to MCM in London this month, I hope you have a great time!
Some females irl have facial hair due to hormone imbalances. In any case, it’s really nice to see Ava with stubble considering she is a dwarf. :3
Was going to say the same thing as someone with pcos
That is very true, and I would know. It's something I'm actually a bit insecure about.
My mustache appreciates that people are aware of this. Is super light, but when it's not shaved down it is noticeable.
Bless this thread. It makes me feel better about myself
ALL women grow some at some time in life, regardless of hormones. We just usually feel pressured to pluck or wax it off.
In the d&d campaign I’m in everyone has an instrument but the bard
3 out of my 5 party members have instruments 1/2 out that extra 2 out of 5 is my campaigns bard
The bard just stabs people
GeeVee KillMe *satb*
Poor bard
irony at its peak
Lmao the fact that people had to ask about Ava’s stubble amuses me. I just went, yeah, she’s a dwarf. Of course she has stubble.
Same!
agreed, most dwarve's be they male or femal have stubble or even full on beard's, that they often keep well groomed, though some people out there may not know that after all it isn't eactly common knowlage outside of D&D or people who know their lore and fanticy novle's
i was just, Yeah women have facial hair. Its just shown more on men.
Yeah I had the same reaction, I always thought all dwarfs had beards
I mean like not everybody plays DnD, and not everybody look into lore about DnD. So I don't really find it Amusing.
Holy shit, nagar didnt have any tattoos yet, meaning no one died yet, thats such a small yet awsome detail, love it
Oh no
It's very upsetting to me that so many of these characters weren't in his previous speedpaint, which was only characters still alive... meaning that they are most likely dead...
Elin Taylor i think rook is still alive. but idk how it has gone
@@birdbird8364 he hinted at them joining in later on tumblr, but when they join and how is saved for later.
@@reidisdoodling So far Nagar had 3 (visible) tattoos. A dragon, a bird, and swords.
I really hope Rook is alive. Could someone try to guess who died?
If Rook did die the closest tattoo would've been the dragon I think, because of his lil companion.

Also your chibi designs are so cute I could die
This is the greatest way to say you'd be rich.
Agreed
This is beautiful.
Bro same but I’d live a cottage
@@Nesaitara I would have a bungalow in the outskirts of a town or city and it would have a huge fairy garden and a huge regular garden.

But yeh funny cognisance
.....My fighter that I'm currently playing is name Nahla.
I loved chapter 1, paddy’s back story is really cool and well written and these drawings are adorable 💚
I love how the color palettes are drawn in the shape of the characters! Adds even more charm (the charm level is OVER 9000!)
Honestly I love warm and friendly Dragonborn characters. It’s really nice to see a happy lil cinnamon roll who could also beat you up if they had too
Also, I have a Dragonborn bard who I love. His name is Valentino, and he’s a bit of a flirt, but is more so just a giant adorable doofus. He’s already got a cute little pit bull he rescued from an alley (this world is ruled over by a tyrant king and most of the people don’t live very good lives), and my DM spoiled that she’s gonna give him a kitten and eventually a Dragonborn egg. I don’t know why I just went on a rant I just really love my Valentino
It's okay, dnd characters should excite you and it's a good sign you can't shut up about them. I love this description, I have a soft spot for both Dragonborn and bards, so this speaks to me. Have fun playing Valentino!
I already love Valentino
I have a white dragonborn named bucket, who was stuck in a magic well because her dad sucks. Thus the magic well turning **her** magic too
I love your character, and from the sounds of it your DM too.
I have a Dragonborn barbarian named Anju (nickname Angie) who was basically kept in isolation all her life until she ran away. She is a total sweetheart, but not that wise. She is confused about common sense and normal life in general because of her parents keeping her away from society. She is serious most of the time so she doesn't get embarrassed when she gets something wrong and loves chicken wings lmao
Ughhh I just adore Gimgar’s eyes! They are just so cool looking! I love the blacked out sclerae.These stickers are so amazing and cute! I really hope I can buy them sometime ^^
Oh god, they’re too cute. *i would DIE for them*
You will
OH SHIT IM EARLY-
Man. This is looking good my man! Ya gotta Chibii more.
Also, I just call paddy 'Pad Pad' because he's just an innocent boi
This might be one of the few speed paints I’ve watched with out skipping around. Love the commentary and art style
i cAM E AS SOON AS I HE ARD!! gosh I saw the designs and i cant wait to get them all when i have the money 💕💕

Awww. The chibis are so cute!
I love your artwork and style so much! I’m so excited to see more of High Hopes Low Rolls too! You’re such an inspiration 💛
I’m so sad I couldn’t get Gimgar, Ava, or Torlin, but I have the rest of them as stickers! I love them so much!
These are all so adorable! I can't wait to learn more about the team. Now I've gotta go draw my new character, Lark, in this style cause it would definitely suit him well I think.
The chibi versions are just the cutest things!!

I started laughing when you called Nagar a himbo. I was not expecting that lol.
YAY YOURE BACK!!!! Hey Alex when’s part two coming?! I can’t wait! I absolutely love your work and everyone’s at high hopes and I can’t wait to see more!
Given that the episode was released two weeks ago...probably a year from now.
Gystes __
Yeah maybe. But I still have high hopes (hahaha) for this! And a new episode soon. (And yes the pun was intended.
Watching your videos makes me want to sit down and draw, I love how much just watching your drawing process inspires me. And I can never get enough of your voice, it's so soothing and pleasant to listen to. Keep up the good work

I love your voice so much, it's so calming and soothing :)
I often don’t comment for a few reasons but I did really enjoy this video and your chibi rendering of characters. Their personality definitely shows.
THEY'RE SO WONDERFUL! SO CUTE! I WANT THEM ALL 💕💕💕
I've never related so much with anything until you talked about how difficult it is to draw dragonborn
This makes me want to do chibi art for my party! I DM two games and I think my players would appreciate little chibis of their characters. Thanks for the inspiration as always!
wonderful work as always! i love every design and i can tell each personality in the pose! plus chibi is so cute!

I can already tell that Grimgar, Ava, And Nagar are gonna be my fav characters!!!!
I so wish I could nab some stickers of them
Aaah these are so adorable!! I can’t wait to see future episodes of this series. I’m super excited to learn more about these amazing characters 😄
I'm so happy to see your channel grow so much. ❤️ You do amazing work
These little guys are adorable! I love it

They look so cute! Your art is so amazing!
I'm gonna watch all your past videos while you're out for surgery, Love this stuff
Honestly I’m so in love with the femme/butch dynamic of Torlin and Gimgar
I missed sleep to watch this, with a dnd session happening tomorrow that I'm hosting, and I'm not even mad. Your artstyle and voice is so calming, glad I watched this before going to bed :D
Rook is my favorite so far!
As a real-life girl who also has to fight off a 5-o-clock shadow thanks to hirsutism, bless you AND Ava's creator from the bottom of my heart. XDD
They all turned out so adorable and lovely! Watching this made me miss my drawing tablet though. 🥺 the series is amazing so far and I’m so excited for the next episode! Wonderful work from the whole crew (*´꒳`*)
I love all of them and how well you get across personalities!
As I was watching, it hit me-some of their eyes look like colorful pokeballs and I think that's great
i love ur art so much !!!!!!❤️
How did so many people comment before finishing. Like this came out 9 minutes amd is 14 min long
Thank you, your video lifted my spirits tonight. I really like your characters and your style, I hope to learn from you and your videos someday.
I love these guys do much. This is fact. They are the best.
you've inspired me to make my own dnd characters!
I want to pinch their cheeks.. they’re so flipping cute..
I know I’m late but because of your d&d speedpaints I got into it and I love it
thanks for reminding me on why you're one of my favourite artists on this platform
I saw the most beautiful thing on Reddit.
It was an ad for the HHLR Redbubble and it had these designs on it.
Yo I just need to ask how did Rook loose an eye? Like that must’ve been one hellof a backstory part.
I wish i had money ;-; I'll support you how ever i can
Amazing!!!! I'm so looking forward to more of High Hopes!!!!
you have SO MANY PARTY MEMBERS, and I LOVE IT
ffff I come back from my campaign meeting to get greeted with your beautiful art
love your work, man!!!
Always up for some High Hopes content
Omg. I just noticed that Ava has facial hair when you mentioned it 😂 I WATCHED THE LARGE HIGH HOPES LOW ROLLS SPEEDPAINT 12 TIMES ALREADY AND I JUST NOTICED!! 😂😂
Your art is so cute and beautiful love watching your speed paints
YOUR ART IS SO GOOD! I WISH THE BEST FOR YOU IN THIS LIFE
These are amazing and I am grateful to finally find the link to your store XD
