Critical Role- Curses
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- I’ve definitely fallen into the Critical Role hole unfortunately right at the end of the second campaign and I absolutely HAD to make this; the song fit Caleb too well!
This is my first video here, so hello! I don’t plan on posting super often, but I had to smack this up so it doesn’t have to live exclusively in my brain anymore lmao, but if you like this and you want more regular updates on my art (mostly fanart hehe), feel free to follow me on Instagram @/pawprints_in_the_stars or on Twitter @/StarryPawprints! 💜
I don’t own the characters or the story, both of which are products of the amazing Critical Role web series, and I don’t own the song either! Curses is by The Crane Wives, a wonderful band I absolutely recommend checking out!
that "tell me I am good enough" as Caleb walks through the Sanatorium hit me GOOD (this is amazing, thank you!!!!)
Fun fact: the idea for that scene in particular is what finally convinced me to make this! (and thank you so much!!)
@@starrypawprintsart9980 I just found this video and have watched it about a dozen times now and I get chills at this scene EVERY time. Its soooo damn good. This whole video is perfection with mixing the images and lyrics. Favorite CR PMV hands down.
I did the math, the time Caleb spent under the care of Asshole McGee was about three years, from (I may have miscalculated tho) 14 to 17, then the few years in the sanatorium, and then he fled.
Those are the years that set your personality in stone, is what I learned in class. Anyway, I really bought him being in a throuple with Eadwulf and Astrid after that. Teenagers, man. Teenagers.
Right?!?!
@@kariissmol9172 well in Caleb's book they are. It is hot after 🔥 🥵
this is so good but especially the parallel between caleb and astrid and caleb and essek is making me go insane
I'll Always choose Essek. Always
Astrid simply feels to me like the thing Caleb could've been if he'd gone wrong. Essek feels more like someone who was Astrid but then turned into Caleb. By the way that's what I think not trying to convince no one of anything.
Screaming that more people haven't seen this. i cried in the Nott/Veth transformation part.
Finally someone draws the barbed fields..
This album is pog and so are you.
Thank you!
What event was the barbed fields? I suck with location names but remember moment’s
@@RinSyuveil episode 64-66 are the episodes the barbed fields are relevant although i dont know the exact event
I think they mean at 2:25 where the nein is traveling through the barbed fields on their rides, it’s also the angel of iron (yasha) arc
GODS. this is so excellent
The beat feels so light yet tense?? And I love the little Caleb's that appear during the music break (Starter Caleb and Xhorhas Caleb respectively) definitely will be rewatching this a few times 💖💖💖
Thank you so much!! It was so fun to work with the oddity that was this song; light yet tense is a good way to put it. Then combine that with all of Caleb’s… stuff, it was definitely interesting!
Oooooh that final bit was sooooo perfect!!! The whole PMV!! I loved every bit of this. The detail, the timing! And in full colour. I'm so so impressed. Caleb is my absolute favourite CR character so any content including him is!!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of work!! You deserve so much acknowledgement!
Thank you so much!! Caleb is one of my favorites as well, so this was really fun for me!
@@starrypawprintsart9980 if you haven't yet, you should definitely share this on tumblr! It may aid in exposure 😊😊
You have a ridiculously good eye for scene composition, and you convey emotion so well! Holy crap!
the frame at 2:43 is my fave (I have many but this one is the top):
-The lighting/shading (wonderfully done)
-The protectiveness of Caduceus vs Caleb's menacing look
-That brush choice is everything
-The c r i s p lineart
-Actually the more that I look at it Cad is as ready as Caleb to throw hands
also 1:04 killed me. my whole family too. just this whole vid is
Aaahh, thank you so much!! When I watch Critical Role, my brain likes to picture it almost like a movie in my head? So my art of specific scenes ends up with some really dramatic compositions lol
@@starrypawprintsart9980 I love it. That's amazing.
Just the ability to get scenes like these out of fantasy and onto canvas blows me away, and yet you do it so beautifully. Thank _you_ so very much for this work of time and dedication
I loved this all, especially the image of the dinner with Trent, with perfect lyrics over it!
Thank you! That one I was particularly proud of lol
Oh my gosh! What an incredible masterpiece you've put out into the world! When Caleb thought Mollymauk was behind him, but it was really Caduceus gave me CHILLS! I hope more people can see this wonderful work of art!
Aaaahhh, thank you so much!!
@@starrypawprintsart9980 Do you think you'll be making more PMVs? I'd love to see more! I really can't stop coming back and watching this!!!
@@nocrustashe I actually have another (much shorter, unfortunately) one in the works now! It’ll be a while before it’s done, but fear not, it IS a thing!
I cant stretch enough how beautiful this is, the fact that you got the whole of this campaigns caleb moments in 3 minutes is insane, Oh my GOD this was just breath taking!
Thank you so much! It was a challenge to fit everything in (and I still feel I missed so much) but I’m happy with the end result!
Ooooooh this was good!!! "When the war starts in my heart" paired with the forehead kiss was my favorite part!! I loved all the timing, curses has such a great beat and you took excellent advantage of that, especially the "but the smoke clears when you're around" bit
Thank you! When I plan for these sorts of thing in my head, I very much take the beat into account, so much so that usually end up having to tone it back so the editing doesn’t murder me lmao, but I did my best to keep what I could with this one!
The art style of this fit so well! It's almost like Caleb's life with the Mighty Nein is a fable or a legend that's passed down through the ages.
Absolutely amazing. The song fits Caleb perfectly. The animations are perfect. Somehow you managed to draw the characters exactly how I personally image them to look and it is all just absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much! I’ve been doodling the Nein for a good while and it took me a bit to get everyones designs down, but I feel I did alright!
This was absolutely beautiful. I don't know how you managed to capture Caleb's story in so little time, but damn! You did it! Every frame was drawn with so much love and detail and made me pause the video several times, just to have more time to admire it. I also really loved the little music break drawings. They were really calming after all the angst of Caleb's story.
Thank you so much!! It was definitely a challenge to fit everything in, but I feel I did alright! And the music break Calebs were arguably my favorites to draw lol, they’re just so cute and easy to doodle!
Holy shit. That was stunning. Insane work, I almost cried a bit! You're right the song is really perfect!
Thank you! As soon as I heard the first verses of this song I KNEW I had to do something for Caleb with it, and so here we are!
Omg the final part with the heist is great! The footsteps with blood and the double counter spell!!!
Watching this it's pretty insane how many big bads Caleb killed and most of them are large
Amazing! I also fell into Critical Role right at the end of campaign 2, so I feel you. Caleb has fast become my favourite, though, and you capture so many of his moments so wonderfully!
Thank you! Caleb’s been a favorite of mine since the beginning as well! He has so many fantastic moments, I tried my best to do them justice 🧡
I didn't think I could love Caleb more. Thank you for proving me wrong, with such a beautiful animatic
Ughhh,,, SO GOOD! The 'when the war starts in my heart' line came up, oooft, that hits differently now.
Thank you! And yeahhhhh, that one got me good while drawing it lol
1:57 "Light them up, pretty.
Algorithm does you dirty, this is amazing! 🧡
Ps, the band looks cute, thanks for introducing them to me 😊
Awe, thank you! 💜 And of course! They’re a band I’ve been listening to a lot recently, so it’s my pleasure to share their work!
man, i just finished binging campaign two (i am in MOURNING i miss them so much) and this truly was everything to me. gorgeous, perfect timing, incredibly evocative-you picked all of my favorite bits and observations throughout the whole campaign and just. wow. kudos 10000/10
thank you for making maybe one for the most important videos for me in my 16 years for living. it broke me, helped me reassemble myself and memorialized a character that helped me cope with live. Thank you once again
THIS IS SO AMAZING, I'VE WATCHED THIS LIKE FIVE TIMES BY NOW AND EACH TIME I STILL FIND NEW DETAILS TO CRY OVER.
The song fits so well and every single scene is beautiful, your art is incredible!! The part that keeps getting me (aka ripping my heart out) is Jester talking to Molly in the back but when Caleb uses Frumpkin's eyes, it's Caduceus there ;w;
Everything about this is amazing, the pacing, the scene matches to the lyrics, the cute little music breaks with Caleb and Frumpkin, and of course!!! Your art!!! So beautiful, thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us!! ❤️
Thank YOU for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! People like you really make working on things like this worthwhile, so thank you for the continued motivation!
Absolutely amazing! CR campaign 2 got me through my first year of uni during covid and this masterpiece just hit me with the biggest nostalgia hit, great job!
Thank you so much! I’m happy to provide them good nostalgia vibes lol
Lyrics:
There's a fire in my brain and I'm burning up
Oh my, oh my
Keep running for the sink but the well is dry
Oh my, oh my
Every word I say is kindling
But the smoke clears when you're around
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When my walls start burning down?
This house is my name like an elegy
Oh my, oh my
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
Oh my, oh my
There's still cobwebs in the corners
And the backyard's full of bones
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When this house don't feel like home?
When this house don't feel like home?
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil's after both of us
Last my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me
This tired old machine is a-rumbling
Oh my, oh my
Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye
Oh my, oh my
All my aching bones are trembling
And I may yet fall apart
Won't you stay with me, me darling
When the war starts in my heart?
When the war starts in my heart?
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil's after both of us
Last my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Last my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me
I'm many years late to the CR fandom but this video is absolutely gorgeous and I've been watching it on repeat for days
oh god oh fuck this is every inch perfection. I was handflapping basically nonstop through this whole thing. Absolutely stunning. The art is SO PRETTY i just want to stare at it for hours, except that would mean pausing the video and then i wouldnt get to appreciate the amazing song choice. You absolutely killed it!! this is amazing and i cant wait for my friends to catch up with campain 2 so i can show it to them. Spectacular work
Aaaaah thank you so much!! I’m glad you like it so much, it took me a hot minute to finish!
That last scene is incredibly done, Jester's teleport starting, ikcy-thongs counterspell being met by Caleb's counterspell, creating slight barriers between them and allowing them to teleport safely, and the way it matches the beat perfectly... *chefs kiss* amazing work
I have always loved Crane Wives and the Caleb potential their songs have (although I predictably really love Caleb Trask for him), I am so happy to see this. And ah, your style, the way you've depicted things without breaking it or avoiding it (the jail scene) and the line timing, like especially when the war starts in my heart.... Absolutely fantastic.
Caleb AND Curses? Congrats, very cathartic combination, I don't know what emotion I'm feeling but it's a minimum of at least 5
the crane wives songs fit critrole so well. i’m amazed there hasn’t been a caleb amv to the moon will sing yet
Oof, don’t tempt me-
I watched this first like, a week after you uploaded it? It was and is still my favorite amv I have ever seen. This band gets used in a lot of Last Life amv's as well, and following the recent Double Life ending I heard one and instantly thought of this because it was my first exposure to this singer. Still lives in my head permanently
Wow, WOW this is absolutely fantastic. I love people who have come into Campaign 2 at the end because we get full character arc PMVs! This is stunning, and it hits so many of the biggest moments in the campaign, but also some small, incredibly important character moments. Phenomenal work
Thank you so much! It was definitely good to be at least most of the way through the campaign when I started this; and though I definitely missed some major moments at the very end because I started before the campaign was over, I was too happy with the ending to try and add anything lol
@@starrypawprintsart9980 I love the ending! It's to perfect to end with them bamphing out from Trent, and I kind of love that in that sense it doesn't have finality. It's very fitting for the animatic aspect of it. Wouldn't have the same intensity to the end with Trent sitting in jail like the icky-thong he is
This is incredible. The bits with the memories of Caleb's fiends and the bloody footprints hit especially hard. The love of the Nein put him back together but he keeps the fear of becoming what Trent wanted as he walks alone in the dark.
Just getting into Critical Role and found this. I have shared it with everyone I know who would appreciate it. This is fantastic and the visuals match the lyrics perfectly! Take a bow!
Thank you so much!! That’s so kind of you!
I really hopes that Liam sees this! I've been watching this on repeat and it is just so good!
Aw, thank you so much!
Everything about this is absolutely insane I don't even know where to start!!!! This might be one of my favourite M9 animatics!!!
Aaahhh, thank you so much!!
This is AMAZING! the timing of the words. The art is gorgeous. The song is perfect. It captures Caleb so well. You should be very proud
Thank you!! I won’t lie, I AM pretty happy with the final thing 😁
rewatching cr2 has been amazing because now i get to see these beautiful mvs i didn't get to see before. incredible work!
the amount i love this is. very much. ahhhh i love curses it’s one of my favorite songs ever and this is just so perfect. your landscape art is sooo good, i loved the dragon. i also love the way you draw fire magic, it’s so real and awesome . i love this!
holy??? fuck??? this is utterly amazing and deserves so many more views. i love crane wives, love caleb, and love animatics. this is everything. also, molly’s death here brought me to tears. well fucking done
Aaah, thank you so much!! You’re too kind! And yeah, drawing Molly’s death DEFINITELY didn’t make me cry, nope, not at all, this is fine-
This just hits so well. Thank you for showing Celeb so much love with all the details.
i'm obsessed with everything about this and i've replayed this like five times already, thank you so much i'm gonna go cry about how much i miss tm9 now
as a fan of critical role, caleb, and the crane wives i feel absolutely blessed by this animatic!! all the little details are driving me insane !!!
Thank you!! All the details were very fun to hide in there!
can't wait for campaign 3 !!!
This was absolutely brilliant! I love your art style adn how you fit the story and the parralles in so very perfectly. I teared up at Molly's death, and I will definately be rewatching this a LOT.
This is a beautiful retelling of the campaign and Caleb's story. Also, I had never heard of the song you used so thank you for introducing me to it.
Thank you so much! And of course, it’s a wonderful song- good for sharing with people!
omg wow absolutely loved that last part, perfectly timed with the music!!!
AAAAA I love this song sm and I always thought it was such a Caleb song with the fire motif and everything. And your art and animation are so good, especially the timing of some events. Love it!!
GOD this is so good!!! I love all the meaning you pack into the art, it's beautiful. also the music break doodles are very cool
Loved how you did the counter spell counter spell teleport out at the end looked great! Very cool!
I love the little doodles that are on screen during the music breaks
This is???? Incredible??? So much emotion?? + I adore!! this song and I never even THOUGHT to relate it to caleb before that's amazing!!
Thank you so much!! 💜
Love the final couple seconds where they're at the academy and Caleb interposed himself between his friends and Trent.
Critical role + the crane wives!?!? I’m screaming I love this so much!!! The art is super good!!
Thank you so much!! :D
this is lovely!!!!!!! this song has always reminded me of caleb and you absolutely did it justice :D
Thank you so much! Especially with that first verse, this is DEFINITELY a Caleb song lol
i love this!!! the arts so pretty and the music choice is top tier its like one of my favorite songs omg. the visuals and the COLORS bro I fricken love it its amazing. especially the final chorus bit it gave me chills dude
Thank you so much! Part of the reason I did this in full color was to use colors to help tell the story, so I’m glad that part of things went over well!
this is amazing i love this the comparison between Astrid and essek is amazing snd the art style is fantastic i really love this
I have watched and enjoyed this video so many times in the past week, that I figured I had to say something. This video is absolutely beautiful and artful, and I love everything about it! You have done amazing work, and I hope you continue making more content! You have gained a loyal subscriber, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Oh wow, thank you! That’s so sweet of you to say; it was definitely a leap of faith to put this up on RUclips, but I’m glad it’s been well received! Thank you so much for your kind words! 💜
This is absolutely amazing! So much storytelling, so much emotion. Amazing job 💜
This is absolutely amazing!!! The artwork is stunning, the detail of matching to the music is on point, it is perfection!!! ❤️
Thank you so much! You’re too kind 💜
@@starrypawprintsart9980 You’re welcome! Hope to see more of your beautiful work!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Caleb is one of my favorite characters of all time. *wiped away tears* this is simply not fair.
Ok so I had to rewatch it but- the ‘when the war starts in my heart’? That part? Catch me SOBBING. The very end? Ikithon? YES. I have more thoughts but I’ll leave you alone now, thank you SO much for that oh my gosh it was GREAT
Ok sorry one more I PROMISE but the footsteps? The bloody footsteps? At ‘tell me I am good enough’? Oh my GOSH thank you that is all I swear-
Thank you so much!!! I put a lot of time and effort into some of those smaller details and creative choices, so I’m glad those didn’t go unnoticed!
They were all absolutely amazing. I’ve watched this like 6 times in the past 24 hours? It’s fantastic.
When you find a good video you just find yourself watching over and over again...
This is it.
this was INCREDIBLE!
I remember every scene you drew
This made me so nostalgic of our sad wizard & the whole NEIN ;-;
1:24 literal goosebumps, that whole encounter was one of the best in the whole campaign
I love it all and the music breaks are perfect. Amazing work. You nailed it!
How did this not get recommended to me until now?! It’s absolute fire (no pun intended XD)
This is beautiful, every piece of art has such energy and effort put in to it and your story telling methods are fantastic! New sub!
Thank you!! My brain often likes to make these in my head as I listen to music, it was really fun to finally make one a reality! I’m glad others seem to like it too!
I've watched this so many times I'm gonna leave this comment to show how amazing it is haha. I absolutely love everything you did in this and how well it matches Caleb. From the showing of time passing and how you depict each major scene with such gravity, a little akin to what it was like watching the game. Also all the timing of the energetic parts of the song to certain scenes is fabulous. Absolutely love everything here!
Thank you so much!! The vibe was very interesting to work with, I tried to match the pace of the song to the music, especially with the chorus, so I’m glad that paid off! As far as the depictions of certain scenes; when I watch Critical Role, I kinda zone off and mostly just listen, so it ends up as almost a movie that plays in my head as I watch?? So it was really fun to finally translate that into something others can see too!
i recently finished watching m9. this beautiful video made me want to rewatch those 600 something hours all over again. great work
Aaaaa I’m so happy to see this song used as a pmv!! it fits so well and the art is GORGEOUS oml esp all the timing work at the end!!
Thank you!! That bit at the very end was by far the most ambitious thing I did (as far as timing and editing, anyway) for this, but I absolutely HAD to work it in there somehow! I’m glad you like it!
First of all, this is absolutely stunning and I love it in general. Second of all, I am so impressed by the fact that you managed to sum up the majority of the campaign into less than 4 minutes. Incredible work!!!!
This is absolutely amazing, I love it,the song fits Caleb so well and your style is absolutely gorgeous. I started watching CR because I spoiled myself some stuff about Caleb, so even tho I'm only in episode 45, just wow :0
Anyway this shit is fantastic and you've picked out all the little moments that I love most and pulled them together into more than their sum
This is really great! Excellent choice of music and fantastic art! Caleb is by far my favorite fictional character anywhere - so I really loved this
WOOO this is. so good, it captures everything about Caleb so wonderfully
The Cranes Wives have some absolutely fantastic songs and I'm glad the algorith gods gave me your video to watch as a massive CR fan
They do, I had their Foxlore album on repeat while I made this; the whole thing is so good!
THAT WAS SO AMAZING!!! I'm sobbing that was so good!
Your are is so good!!! I'm honestly super impressed!! The colors, the shading, the backgrounds, all amazing!!! :D
Thank you so much!!
This is amazing! You deserve so many views! I really love your artstyle and editing. Everything feels so lively. I will definitely come back to rewatch this.
Thank you so much!! It was definitely an interesting vibe to work with, I’m glad you like it!
This is amazing, and brings back so many memories of the campaign. Well done.
Thank you so much!
I’m genuinely surprised that this is your first video. Each frame is incredible, I love your color choice and the moments you chose to highlight. Absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much! :D
I love this song, I love this show, and I live your art! You have blended them together perfectly! I love this so much!
Thank you so much!! You’re too kind 💜
The Crane Wives are Underrated
That was really good, was a hit of nostalgia to see the whole journey of the nein in three minutes like that.
I started taking screenshots of the gorgeous still art images and then I realized I couldn’t take enough screenshots because every single drawing and image in this is so goddamn gorgeous! Amazing art!
I know it's been months since you uploaded this but I just wanted to say, thank you for this it got me into The Crane Wives so thank you.
This was so good and I absolutely loved it! Your art is so pretty!
This is so good! Such lovely rustic colours! Well done~!
I thoroughly enjoyed this despite having never watched a single episode of critical roll. Excellent work!
Well done well done so beautiful. Was looking forward to the rumblecusp missing memory scene but it’s hard to fit everything in I know. Everything you did for was great like great job.
Yeah, unfortunately a few things had to be left out because there simply wasn’t time, but I’m glad you enjoyed it either way!
Simply incredible, you found a great artistic match and gave the internet a wondrous artpiece!
Thank you kindly and good vibes to you from France!
holy crud this is amazing. the timing (especially right at the end) is so satisfying and really impressive. the song works super well, and you matched the vibes of it perfectly with your art! as another commenter mentioned, it has a really bouncy feel to it while still feeling tense and heavy. just overall soooo good!!!!!
Thank you!! You’re too kind 💜 The timing was probably one of the most difficult parts, but that bit at the end lived in my head too long to NOT try and pull off, and I feel it went well!
This is so beautiful! The coloring, the art style the song. I love everything about it and watched it 3 times to catch all the details. 🧡 🧡
this is so incredible oh my god
the art was amazing and every frame made me go "OH THAT'S WHEN -- AND THE LYRICS -- AND THAT --- OMG THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE -- WOAH"
That transition from Molly’s ghost to Caduceus was gorgeous. Awesome video!
Thank you so much!
Obsessed with the little doodles for the music breaks 😭
OHHHH This hurt me in such a beautiful way. I've truly been in a Widowmauk brainrot and this is just another video to add to my list!!! I can feel the emotions through the animations and your art style is amazing!!!
I've never seen critical role before but this has piqued my interest
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SUPERB!!!! I’d legit hang some of that art on my wall
