A bunch of people seemed to really dig my last animatic and asked for more, so here's another! This one's a little shorter but it gave me a chance to feature Yasha, who was absent in the previous animatic, and a little more Caduceus and more Caduceus in your life is always a good thing.
Hope you all like this one too! I'm going to be spending a bit of time now working on some other projects but expect more videos later on, and likely more animatics down the line too. Thanks!!
"Bold move bathing a dead animal."
-Liam O'Brien
I was WAITING for Caleb to step in saying this.
@@sweatpupejj Haha, I loved that line too but I felt it was better with it cut. It really felt like more of a Liam line than a Caleb line and I also couldn't get it to work in the timing... Sorry!
@@ragdolltwisty
No worries, It would've been weird squeezing it in. All of this was perfect with great attention to detail. I had to save a screenshot of sprinkles fluffed. Thank you for your efforts!
Idea: The ghost of Vax that nobody can see just popping in to say it.
If Matt makes Sprinkle canonically undead......
Maybe he'll become an avatar of Hadar.
That Sprinkle design has the right mix of adorableness and "I survived ten horror movies and I fear that I am not done yet".
Haha-- A difficult balance... Thank you!!
That's the thing....Sprinkle is both
And still has nightmares to go
"I have been through hell, I feat not man nor demon at this point!"
That is the best description I've ever read of Sprinkles! 🤣
Raoul 9753 “But give me a bath, and I’ll f*** up your hands...”
The hand grabbies Sprinkles makes is the best thing I have ever seen lol
😂 I had fun with that part
2:51
Pared with his derpy look so cute
Perfection.
@@ragdolltwisty thank you so much for making this scene so unique! Sprinkles "gimmie" look was perfection!
I love that between the three exotic and usefull animals they bought that day, one of them being a strong fey creature, the stand out star of the animal companions is a PTSD ridden weasel
There is nothing special about him, except that he is red and cannot die, no matter how much he craves the sweet, sweet release of death.
And they lost one in a week
A weasle cursed with immortality
@@comandantegorrion7271 are you saying Sprinkle is Deadpool
@@comandantegorrion7271 He's just a cursed Red Dragon
Not enough people are appreciating Jester playing with a paddleball.
It's surprisingly hard to think of things for people to be doing in their downtime when there's no electricity... And I already had her writing in her journal at the start so I didn't want to just do that again... So... Paddleball 🤣 I'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching!!
@@ragdolltwisty This should be CR cannon. Jester playing Paddleball and good at it too.
Jay Boulton Very well done!
She is truly a ahead of her time... whatever her time is.
@WorgenGrrl every indoor kid is legally required to be good at paddleball
Jester: Don't bite her, okay?
Sprinkle: *proceeds to do nothing but bite for the entirety of the video*
Imagine if Sprinkle was the one to just jump out and actually kill the final boss.
Final Boss: "I died to WHAT?!?!"
The dead minion: A weasel that was secretly a god sir.
Sprinkles: *Woman, I am your GOD, I DO WHAT I WANT!!!*
You tell a FEY BEING not to do something...
You tell ARTAGAN, Mr "I wish to strangle you until death" NOT TO DO SOMETHING...
caduceus is the type of guy who could look Cerberus in the face and be like "Want a sandwich?" and charm it
Animals pick up on those chill vibes, man... They love that shit
Hades and Caduceus just talking about how they love animals
Good death dealing Soft boys
@@handfulmousefly Caduceus is like a capybara, friend shaped.
@@Numair801529 I dread the moment caduceus gets pissed off.
@@Cyrrex91 like a king shepherd, super sweet and your best friend.....until he isn't
Jester: "He's a little... Skittish"
*Sprinkle, looking as he witnessed Death itself a few times too many, staring in the Void*
Yeah, understatement of the year there, Jester
He has witnessed it.. and yet he is denied it still... ☠
@@ragdolltwisty That's because Sprinkle is the final boss of the Mighty Nein campaign!
@@ragdolltwisty Sprinkles is the avatar of death, he cannot die because he brings death the living
I want Marisha to run a bear one shot where Matt plays Sprinkle as a severely traumatized soldier. So a fluffy John Rambo.(*did some edits for spelling)
@@Marauder_Danger - Sprinkle will return leading the Syphilis Bandits in search of revenge.
2:36 The way Jester calls out, *"Cadaceus??"* perfectly encapsulates the pain, desperation and awkwardness of Sprinkles hanging off of her ear.
I really liked that bit too
I had a weasel and that sandwich part was an actual thing. He'd constantly steal my sandwichs
I was looking up pet weasels out of curiosity and you may be thinking of a ferret. because of the three (ferret, mink, weasel) only they are really suited to be pets. Weasels are bad tempered and minks require special training and habitats usually only found in zoos.
if you did mean weasel that's quite impressive and I hope you make a habit of caring for wild animals in your future.
@@ameteuraspirant Weasels arent that bad tempered if they are the only free-roaming animals in the house besides humans. They can be kept as pets in some places in europe, and in the UK and some US states with a licence.
@@ameteuraspirant Dude to be honest this weasel just showed up at my house one day. He wasn't feral at all he was tamed. I thought someone lost their pet weasel and I put out posters saying is this your weasel? It's been a year since I found him, His name is Ron Weasley.
@@briarendsley1020 Ron Weasley 🤣🤣
@@ragdolltwisty I know, his nickname is sandwich stealing Sam
I don't think it's possible to more perfectly capture Sprinkle's pathos and suffering in drawn form. XD
I mean they animated Sprinkle as if they were alive, a more perfect representation would know better
“Didn’t I bathe you one time?”
“...yes”
“You scratched me!”
“Yes!”
Yeees...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
😏yes…😏
Well in his defense, he was pretty into the part at the time and he's smart enough to know sometimes a persons pet defends themselves however they can.
@@benjamindavidson4680 Actually if I recall, part of the reason was because Yasha failed an animal handling check.
"didn't i bathe you?"
"yes you did"
"you scratched me!"
"yes, i did!"
I like the added touch of Sprinkles biting Jesters ear XP
and the tear from wincing XD
Nathan Naps Sprinkles expression was pretty good too. :3
Weasels bite pretty hard
You really captured what a really traumatized weasel looks like xD this is good, hope you make some more.
I would like to thank the Google Image results for the search 'weasel' and 'how big is weasel'... The trauma all comes from me tho ❤
Jay confirmed weasel without a mirror
Visiting this after the latest Sprinkle reveal is just extra hilarious.
“I bathed you!”
“Yes.”
“You bit me!!”
“Yes!”
I loved that reveal.
Yasha: "I...gave you a bath!"
Sprinkle: "Yes."
Yahsa: "You bit me!"
Sprinkle: :grins: "Yess!"
Me, a dope on the internet that has no idea what this is:
RUclips recommendations: Allow me to introduce you
Me: *ugly laugh crying*
Quick run through: that's a weasel that has gone to places worse than hell, the sweet little tiefling is a leader of a cult and has done a very poor job on taking care of said weasel, the barbarian lady is a fierce warrior with poor social skills and the cowman is a death cleric who can speak with animals
Welcome to Critical Role fan-animatics my friend. If these give you an urge to watch the actual show (it is a D&D show improv'd by a lot of good voice actors) I would suggest starting on the second campaign (this scene comes from the second campaign)
If not, we'll see ya in September when they release their animated version of the first campaign.
You're one of today's lucky ten thousand. I stumbled across a clip last year on RUclips and wound up binge watching 12 hours a day while I was off work on long term sick.
@@eduardochavez7889 - I fear that is 100% accurate but explains nothing.
Please tell me it was this video that introduced you, and you are now ten months down the rabbit hole of awesome that is Critical Role
Jester: He's a little ummmmm..
*Shows a clearly ptsd scarred/meth-ed up rodent*
Jester: ..Skittish
Great animatic!
Musteloids are not rodents- they hunt and kill rodents. The wolverine hunts and kills caribou and will chase Grizzlies and polar bears away from a kill.
Ahh I love sprinkle's grabby hands!
❤ if ever a weasel needed a good sandwich...
Jester: “Caduceus! Can you come help me?”
Caduceus, completely done with their shit: “Would you like a sandwich?”
Oh my, that Sprinkles has to be canon. It's just perfect.
He looks like a demon and I love it.
@@GZilla311 headcanon is that sprinkle is just a long, tiny Tasmanian devil. (The character, not the animal) mostly because of the cuteness of it all mixed with the biting.
That actually fits Matt's description fairly well.
Considering who he really is…!
To be honest this is how my pet chiwawa looked after it hit 15 it lived to 18 years old and I’m not joking it actually looked somewhat like this
Episode 136 makes this scene 100 times funnier.
lmao I was gonna say! I'm rewatching all the sprinkle animatics with an entirely different perspective
i was gonna say this too
100000x 🤣
Y~es
"You scratched me!"
Yes.
Yasha: Wait a minute… didn’t I bathe you?
Sprinkles, almost seductively: *YeESSsss.*
After 136...
Jester: "Don't bite her, ok."
Sprinkle:
Spoilers below:
After this weeks episode, this scene hits way different
Fr lmao
Yyyyyesss
That damned weasel needs therapy aka more time with caduseus* and less time with jester
*caduceus
@@oliverboisvert5215 thank you 👍
I wouldn't trust anyone who had printed business cards saying "weasel therapist."
@@elbruces hahaha🤣
Laura needs a plush so she doesn't forget about him anymore.
I adore that even fluffed up, Sprinkle looks absolutely traumatized
".... Didn't I bathe you one time?"
"Nnyes~"
"You scratched me though!"
"... Yes!"
Oh my god, Sprinkles biting Jester's ear, I'm dead.
(Dibs on BadSkeelz's stuff) This was the perfect reason for Laura's leaning head and going, "Ow, ow.."
@@KickyFutAnd also Matt/Sprinkle's little "anch" squeak.
This honestly deserves more love than what it's got. With the sharper lines and accurate body proportions, your art-style and designs fits so well with CR (especially Jester, she is adorable and Nott's lovable too! :3). As much as I wanted to see a poof-ier Sprinkle (as Matt had described Sprinkle to resemble a fur collar around Jester's neck), that's easily overshadowed by how well you caught their expressions, followed the narrative and made a 3-MINUTE animatic of this high-quality, like holy sh*t! Overall, great work and I greatly look forward to how you interpret their adventures along the way!
Honestly i could see this being used as a story board for a mighty nien short.
Very kind of you, thank you!! I did want to draw a fluffy Sprinkle but I guess I couldn't resist that bedraggled energy 😂😂 Thanks for watching!!
@@ASapphicDisaster If you run into Mr. Matthew Mercer tell him I'm waiting by the phone 😜
Sprinkle may have been a fur collar once but those days are long gone. I'm surprised he has any hair left at all.
“Didn’t I *bathe* you that one time??”
“Mmm yeeees ;)”
If I had to elect someone to animate a “Legend of the Mighty Nein”, you’d be the individual
Wow, now that's an honour! Thank you!! ❤
"Rage Washing."
> You take 1 point of biting damage, reduced to half a point.
I am CRYING laughing, poor sprinkle 🤣
(edit) his little grabby hands at 2:51 are especially good
Sprinkles' design is so hysterical to me & i cant articulate why, but I keep coming back to this video to laugh at it. You've captured such vivid personality derived from Matt's impression. All the designs are immaculate (Jesters expressions especially) but Sprinkle just has the perfect energy to him & it delights me.
Hehe, thank you!! I'm glad I can bring a laugh to your day
"He seems like he likes it."
Springle looking like he's dead.
I know this is a little weird, but I think Jester's becoming a little more unhinged than presented
The sprinkle lore of 136 makes this so much better.
Absolutely amazing art style and impeccable knowledge of when to change the image during the narrative. 12/10
Thanks very much!
This is made so much funnier given the knowledge that Sprinkle was actually the Traveler the entire time lmao.
I really really appreciate how in character Laura is with jester and her mannerisms.
This came up randomly in my recommendations. I had no idea what CR was. Now, thanks to you, I've now lost hours of my life watching them.
Oh wow! I'm so happy to have helped someone find CR! This show is a really big part of my life like no other story. Enjoy the journey and thanks for watching!!
Watching this scene again after knowing the secret of sprinkle makes it soooooo much better
Jester: "Don't bite her, ok."
Sprinkles:
The best part of this was the fact that sprinkle was the traveler the whole time XD
Jester: "Don't bite her, ok."
Sprinkles:
Yasha's expressions were the best xD
"Didn't I bathe you one time?"
"*y e s*"
Knowing what I know about Sprinkles now makes this scene so much better
omg the talent it takes to verbally convey what a..umm..accomplished weasel would sound like is award-worthy. Best _kehhhk_ i've ever heard.
"Didn't I BATHE you one time?"
"Yesssss"
Holy god, Jester looks way to cute in this. Sprinkle looks "great" as well, at least for what he has been through. Amazing work man!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!!
This is hilarious knowing that Artagan was actually Sprinkle the entire time. XD
This scene becomes infinitely more amusing with the recent discovery surrounding Sprinkle
Yesss
The little grabby hands are just too cute.
coming back here with the recent sprinkle reveal is something else
You know, with the way you designed Sprinkles, he kinda reminds me of that squirrel from the ice age movies a bit
Imagine being so chill that even rabid weasels calm down around you.
Only caduceus.
The best part is undoubtedly the sound effects that Matt makes.
Knowing the truth about that weasel makes this scene more funny
That whole, "Do you want a sandwich?" part may be proof that Cad is best dad of the Mighty Nein.
Suddenly. with the knowledge we now have, this scene has gotten a thousand times funnier.
Imagine bathing an archfey
Recent revelations changes the context of this scene so much.
Again a lovely stylised interpretation of the mighty 9
"Hes a little...um"
That's all you have to say
Sprinkle's personality is so well captured in this. I love it!
"Wait, I bathed you!"
"Yes."
"And you bit me!"
"Yes!"
It was hilarious to find out the secret of Sprinkles too near the end of the campaign too. 😂
omg, the sprinkle design had me dying of laughter
Jester: He's a little, ummmm...
Sprinkle: O_o
Jester: ... skittish...
The new context around Sprinkle really adds to this scene.
Sprinkle’s thoughts:
“Every one of my near death experiences is because of you lunatics. And because of you lunatics I have seen the other side multiple times. There is NOTHING there, believe me, I speak from experience.”
You can hear Talisen trying his best not to break character when he says, "Yeah?"
Laura's brilliance shines through with the 'also for me' at the end.
Hindsight makes this ten times better, and it was already very good. Lovely animation!
What I love most about this scene after the Spronkle reveal is also Cad feeding him Sandwiches, but only if he behaves well. Lmao what an awesome scene
Coming back to watch this now that we know Sprinkle's secret is a treat.
The little "gimme" hands were perfect!
Recent revelations about Sprinkle make this even more hilarious in context.
This is... GREATLY improved after new information...
This has aged like fine wine.
Sprinkle reaching out for that sandwich. My spirit animal has been found.
This whole thing has a new context given recent Sprinkle Revel.
I've been looking for this animation for days!! I don't even watch Crit Role but this is so good!!!!!!!
This entire scene is even more hilarious with recent revelations
No matter how many times I see this video I always come back when I see it in my recommended. Matt really is a master of sound effects.
this hits Different after 136
Arty sure is having a good time
THIS VIDEO IS 3000X FUNNIER NOW I'M LOSING MY MIND
I haven't belly laughed this hard in ages. Thank you for this wonderful animation!
I love everything about this! Keep being amazing!
(But can we just appreciate how perfect and cartoony Matt's "poof" noise was? That mixed with the timing of the poof was so perfect! XD)
Haha, we get Matt's POOF noise whenever there's a character with super fluffy hair and I live for it tbh. Thanks so much!! ❤
I know it’s been 4 years since this released but your caduceus tickles a part of my brain just, exactly his vibe and how I envisioned him
This is even funnier in light of the most recent episode (136, at time of writing)
God, it's so expressive. I was hoping to see Yasha in one of these!
I came here after 136, and man... That was fantastic.
Caduceus:wanna sandwitch?
Sprinkels:gimme!
Hits different after ep 136 👀
I keep coming back to this video whenever I need a laugh - the expressions, the timing, the way you worked all the sound effects from Matt in and all the details like Jester and her paddle ball- its all amazing! Such a wonderful gift to the community, I hope the cast saw it!
Aww, this means so much to me, thank you! And I'm glad it brings you some joy
Cad could tame a disgruntled god with his sandwiches. 😂
2:22 Never in all of my life would i have ever thought
that i would see a weasel with a thousand yard stare...
I was so very wrong. 🤣
