Emily is an absolute master at igniting situations like this. As a viewer I absolutely love it. As a forever DM, I am absolutely floored by the direction changes she can make. Brenan's ability to be able to roll with these curveballs in a way that still forms a cogent story is absolutely inspiring. Legends, all of them!
i love so much emily going "i wanted to be someone from this world and he's the first person i've really met!" and her beloved husband immediately seconding this chaos by going "the logic is sound" couple goals right there
it's so iconic that the bad kids' response to riz almost getting hate crimed by a random pirate is to psych the guy out until he k!lled himself (also fig is so pretty in this I love her
the sheer speed and dedication with which they all join the absolutely unhinged "i disguise myself as him" bandwagon is so deeply high school friend group core
Riz as he's picked up... Riz in this whole thing is just. A Scrunkly little baby small man with big gun and big dreams. He is. A mischevious little boy. When Kristen picked him up like a small child I knew God was real. I love how everyone looks, the shot of the gang turning around was really well done. Brennan interrupting the scene like it's Emperor's New Groove KILLED me, and him looking down from his cloud... Y E S. This is how DM's should be depicted. I've only ever seen one other animation that did this, and it was of the sexy rat scene. Fig's shit eating grin as she rolls a 25 AS HERSELF, just on the floor was swell too. Your expressionsa re fantastic, love the emotion that you put into the eyes... Everything going to shit was great, so was Brennan just SHOVING Riz by the face. Also I love when animators give a character All The Frames for like one second and you did it with Kristen Running. Magnificent. Beautiful. 10/10.
FABIAN HELPING RIZ UP 😭😭 BRENNAN IN THE CLOUD BRENNAN PUSHING RIZ DOWN RIZ'S LITTLE TAIL THE PAUSE OVER THE SCREEN THE CHAOS OF EVERYONE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER RIZ'S ANGRY FACE WHEN KRISTEN WANTS TO HELP THE GUY KRISTEN GETTING A SHITTON OF FRAMES I LOVE THIS SO MUCH HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS
Brennan took those few seconds when the group was taunting him after the roll figuring out how to still upset the group while honoring the role and I think he nailed it
This is making me laugh SO HARD. The way that you drew Kristen as she said "I jump in after him" like she devolving is so fucking funny. Incredible Animatic.
I like how, instead of what most DnD animations do, when the ooc talk starts you animate it as if it’s still the characters talking to Brennan, and time has just paused everywhere else. Also Boggy’s giant eyes at 2:23.
This is definitely my favourite bit of the season. I laughed for a full ten minutes at just Brennan's reaction to Emily saying I disguise myself as Him.
This is really everything, love the liberties you took with subtle tweaks to character design and love the way you interpret how the blocking would look in this scene I think it’s very in character for everyone, subtle Fabriz as well? So incredibly swag
I see Brennan designing this encounter thinking "Fire crackers in the beard is a cool look - kind of a Blackbeard the pirate thing, and it gives the players a funny way out of this by lighting them up with a prestidigitation or slight-of-hand check, and will set the tone for the world I'm putting them in...." Then "I disguise myself as him" breaks his mind.
Riz freeing himself in the pause and making Fig and Kristen reply to Brennan but they are characters and he is the god is so funny. I love how you captured his outrage. Thanks for making and posting this animatic!
just rewatched this part in the actual episode and had to rewatch this animation. It's absolutely genius, and gives so much heart and humor to this scene; great work!!!
Loved this, your gesture work is really good. The characters personalities really shine, and your depiction of the DM and table talk was cute and funny!
@@acesnickerdoodles4773 The first time, someone had called a guard on me to check if I was Allowed to be where I was, I was Caught due to some bad rolls, so when I was taken to a guard captain I turned into the Person escorting me. It didn’t work. After that I did it one more time as a joke. That character was very much a himbo.
“IM NOT GOING THROUGH ANOTHER HILDA HILDA”
-a man about to go through another Hilda Hilda
The amount of "yes, and" in this scene is truly unparalleled. Fig said one thing and the entire group was INSTANTLY on board with the bit.
Emily is an absolute master at igniting situations like this.
As a viewer I absolutely love it. As a forever DM, I am absolutely floored by the direction changes she can make.

i love so much emily going "i wanted to be someone from this world and he's the first person i've really met!" and her beloved husband immediately seconding this chaos by going "the logic is sound"
couple goals right there
the couple of all time
its even more funny when you consider that probably in no circumstance would he let this happen during their own DND sessions LOL
It kills me because they've had full conversations with multiple people at this point lmao
I love that he describes her crazyness as "creative ways of problem solving" lol
Brennen saying the first, "As... HIM???" Is the most confused I've ever heard a person be.
It's confusion mixed with indignation which from Mulligan is so delicious as he uses pure anger to push through DMing these mad teenagers
Ive never heard anyone say the words "excuse me?" like that but thats absolutely what he said
“babe babe i know your family’s super racist you’re projecting” 💀💀
Brennan's own words about Emily "sent from hell to kill me" really echoing in his head throughout this whole scene
the visual representation of all of them yelling over each other is incredible
“Killing people here is normal and cool” gets me every time
"I'M NOT PULLING ANOTHER HILDA HILDA"
-Brennan Lee Mulligan
Riz getting pushed away by God Brennan after "I already ate you man" is golden
Climbing back into the dwarf’s grip when the scene starts back up is really good too
+
The hilarity of Kristen shouting NOOOOOO with her “yes?” shirt on is unparalleled sdhfhgj
Theres so many genius moves in this. But also Fabian helping Riz stand up was so tender? Love it.
I love spreading the gay agenda
@@acesnickerdoodles4773 Thank you for your service ❤
@@acesnickerdoodles4773 i personally see Fabian and Ragh as being the couple and Riz as being ace, but either way, thank you for your service
@@therojowo I agree and raise you queerplatonic fabriz my fair lad
@@acesnickerdoodles4773 quite literally pointed at my screen and audibly said the words gay gay homosexual gay
Honestly "That person was not my parents and neither am I" kind of legitimately hits me.
Kristen just stealing Gorgug's bit smh
@@jessicafrost7579huh?
The amount of shenanigans murph would nix on naddpod but he argues for on dimension 20 is always hilarious to me
it's so iconic that the bad kids' response to riz almost getting hate crimed by a random pirate is to psych the guy out until he k!lled himself (also fig is so pretty in this I love her
This is what getting jumped by a gang of drama kids looks like.
Oh my god, the animation of Kristen getting ready to run after him absolutely fucking killed me
I can’t stop replaying it and laughing
I cannot tell you how hard it sent me when she said "Let this life go"
the sheer speed and dedication with which they all join the absolutely unhinged "i disguise myself as him" bandwagon is so deeply high school friend group core
Loving your depiction of Boggy's "Not so sure about this" face.
My first time noticing how Boggy's expression changes after "gobby"
the way that brennan was SO high-pitched during this scene is incredible, and his facial expressions here match perfectly.
Riz as he's picked up... Riz in this whole thing is just. A Scrunkly little baby small man with big gun and big dreams. He is. A mischevious little boy. When Kristen picked him up like a small child I knew God was real. I love how everyone looks, the shot of the gang turning around was really well done.

Literally the sweetest comment I've gotten I'm eating gravel and gently kissing the back of ur hand
RIZ IS SO CUTE
If you want another animatic of a floating cloud DM look for the one done of "Boulder Parchment Shears?" from Critical Role Season 2.
FABIAN HELPING RIZ UP 😭😭
BRENNAN IN THE CLOUD
BRENNAN PUSHING RIZ DOWN
RIZ'S LITTLE TAIL
THE PAUSE OVER THE SCREEN
THE CHAOS OF EVERYONE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER
RIZ'S ANGRY FACE WHEN KRISTEN WANTS TO HELP THE GUY
KRISTEN GETTING A SHITTON OF FRAMES
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS
Brennan took those few seconds when the group was taunting him after the roll figuring out how to still upset the group while honoring the role and I think he nailed it
Riz climbing back into position for time to unpause is very adorable.
Super cute! Thanks for including the before and after bits, especially with Tracker!!!!
Thank you! I couldn't cut anything the bit is incredible.
Exact same energy as Marisha Ray turning into a goldfish
That's high praise
Brennan having a total mental breakdown over that character choice was so incredibly funny
I loved the details you added (the pause button, boggy’s facial expression), the facial expressions, and your art style!
This is making me laugh SO HARD. The way that you drew Kristen as she said "I jump in after him" like she devolving is so fucking funny. Incredible Animatic.
I like how, instead of what most DnD animations do, when the ooc talk starts you animate it as if it’s still the characters talking to Brennan, and time has just paused everywhere else.
Also Boggy’s giant eyes at 2:23.
I love how sweet and innocent Emily sounds when she says “he’s the first person I’ve really met!”
I love how when the scene gets unpaused Riz literally ran over to insert his collar back into the dwarf's fists XD
ok favorite part about this animatic is the "double bearded- double braided beard" BQJDHAHHDHA
the super high frame rate for kristen sprinting
“They’re a superstitious bunch.”
i love the visual of everyone getting piled on top of each other because they're all yelling over each other. incredible work.
I. Love. ALL OF THIS. The facial expressions, the tiny way Riz is, that split second of Kristen sprinting, it’s all AMAZING!!!
Oh my god this is too funny. The fact that you literally paused the scene cracks me up
The full motion animation of Kristin about to full send it over the side is so good.
This is definitely my favourite bit of the season. I laughed for a full ten minutes at just Brennan's reaction to Emily saying I disguise myself as Him.
The fucking animation glow-up after "I jump in after him" SENT ME PLACES
the way u draw riz in this is so cute
I love the little smile Fabian gives Riz when he helps him up, I never noticed it when I watched this before but it’s so sweet
You know what they say... Gaslight
gatekeep
girlboss
This is really everything, love the liberties you took with subtle tweaks to character design and love the way you interpret how the blocking would look in this scene I think it’s very in character for everyone, subtle Fabriz as well? So incredibly swag
I love the rolling the dice on the ground in character. It’s so cute!!
Emily is just a agent of chaos, plain and simple
I just noticed the “Yes?” T-shirt Kristen was wearing
This is really absolutely fantastic work -- I cannot stop staring at when Kristen picked up Riz. It's so good.
You just convinced me to start fantasy high
@A.M Sky actually watching season 1 of that first
Going over this moment for the fourth time, I've only just now appreciated Fabian saying
"Killing people here is normal and cool." Fuck me, so funny
THE DOUBLE BEARD. FABIAN AND RIZ. I LOVE THIS
I love that this twice on dimension 20, the other in a crown of candy with an onion thinking he killed himself david lynch style
0:53 perfect yelling composition
I see Brennan designing this encounter thinking "Fire crackers in the beard is a cool look - kind of a Blackbeard the pirate thing, and it gives the players a funny way out of this by lighting them up with a prestidigitation or slight-of-hand check, and will set the tone for the world I'm putting them in...."
Then "I disguise myself as him" breaks his mind.
Riz freeing himself in the pause and making Fig and Kristen reply to Brennan but they are characters and he is the god is so funny. I love how you captured his outrage. Thanks for making and posting this animatic!
I love the depiction of Brennan throughout this scene. Fucking glorious on your entire work!
God I love that animation! Good job, especially I love how you draw eyes! Amazing
I love this scene so much because I a matter of seconds it becomes pure chaos in real time
riz is SO cute in this I love it so much
IKR OMG HE'S A TINY LITTLE SKRUNKLY GOBLIN HE'S SO ADORABLE
This is incredibly well done ! You've really captured the emotion and the CAOS. I particularly love your "God Brennan" going insane, so good 💯
just rewatched this part in the actual episode and had to rewatch this animation. It's absolutely genius, and gives so much heart and humor to this scene; great work!!!
awwww, fabian helps riz get back up
Brennan turned into Charlie Day.
Ahh, Brennan's final form: Angry Muppet
i LOVE you for making this. every second is perfect
THE ANIME EYES
Loved this, your gesture work is really good. The characters personalities really shine, and your depiction of the DM and table talk was cute and funny!
HIM?? *AS WELL??????*
incredible job animating brennan my god
Kristen screaming 'noooooo!' with 'Yes?' on her shirt made me laugh so hard
I love how cute everyone is!
I LOVE how you animated the bit where they start talking over each other 🤣
Absolutely glorious animation
So well done!
Amazing art. Super cute and stylistic
This clip alone has convinced me to watch this show
with the visuals the dude definitely deserved it
OH MY GOD RIZ IS SO CUTE IN YOUR ART STYLE!!
2:02 Riz is such a little guy, he definitely makes a squeaky noise when he get grabbed
I adore this
Riz's so tiny omg I'd love him so much
🤣🤣🤣 The animation of Brennan's breakdown
This was amazing.
Tiny riz 😭
IS THIS HOW I FIND OUT THERE IS A SEASON 2
Proud to be of service
Oh I got good news for you buddy
Season 3 babyyyyy
obsessed with your riz design
no kidding one time I did the same thing 3 times in 1 session to an npc
You can't leave it at that how did you pull it off THREE times?????
@@acesnickerdoodles4773
The first time, someone had called a guard on me to check if I was Allowed to be where I was, I was Caught due to some bad rolls, so when I was taken to a guard captain I turned into the Person escorting me.
It didn’t work.
After that I did it one more time as a joke.
That character was very much a himbo.
Brennan had considered different ways they could have handled this situation.
This did not occur to him.
Double bearded is great
"that person was not my parents and neither am i" FUCK 😂
this was great
suprised it wasn't a performance check to make the dude freak out or something
i can't watch s2 so ill keep rewatching this animation instead
ur riz is so good
Algorithmic punch
Why does riz have a tail? Also this was incredible
I'm a creature Riz truther
AwWwwww wat ta HEeLL HAppened?? 😂I frkn LOVE D20... they broke Brennan xD
Why do so many people give Rizz a tail?
he has creature energy
Which episode was this? If you remember
Season 2 Episode 5!
