I discovered the controversy a few months ago (I think... time in 2020 has been odd...) and it made me sad, Tiberius was a good character, just a shame that Orion wasn't a better player/person... I also don't know how I overlooked the stuff that happened during the games
As an artist myself, this piece is absolutely amazing. The time, effort, coloring, shading, and patience this requires is beyond the average person's comprehention (When they are not artists themselves). I feel like you would do amazing tutorials. Id love to see a female hair tutorial. (Female hair is the only thing im struggling with right now)
when I first started drawing in high school, at the time I was a fan of dragons, I tried to draw a dragon one-dimensionally (which was side on) and did not get far. why? everything except the teeth, claws, and wings were straight and angular. I had to give up on drawing them. the book series (at the time, were a single book) is The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.
Robert Johnson I figured out that was my problem when I successfully drew a banking dragon and saw everything was curved not straight. Because that makes sense for something that flies to be curved and aerodynamic. Versus the blocky shape which I save for Drakes.
Your hands are absolutely flawless, I hope I can get to that point with my art! As well as your bodies, the coloring, the facial features, all gorgeous.
I was trying to art while listening to this, but honestly, I just boogied in my chair the whole time XDD You really know how to pick songs for videos!!
I got curious about Critical Role after watching this video, now I'm halfway through campaign 1 and can't stop! Thank you so much for bringing these wonderful nerds into my life :D
Due, you even added Tary and Tiberius!! Plus i love your art style, and if im being honest, ive been teetering on jumping into drawing myself, and i think this might be the cincher. Thanks for the push i need AB!
Is it possible that someone may tell me what is Critical role, I would appreciate it. If not then it's ok afterall the artist worked so hard on this piece so that may be sufficient. Also artist if you didn't get a break...Just fucking sleep already dude. Anyway thank you for reading and have a good day.
Critical Role is basically a group of voice actors who get together once a week to stream their DnD campaign. They had a really long one going, but just started a new one last week, so now would be the perfect time to jump in! You can find all their stuff on GeekandSundry.com
If you like amazing voice actors playing d&d, you should watch Critical Role. McCree from Overwatch, Nadine from Uncharted, Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist, Illidan from WoW, Ellie from The Last of Us. It's a star studded group.
This speedpaint was the thing that initially got me into Critical Role a half-year or so ago. This one and the Mighty Nein speedpaint afterwards - I had no idea who these precious babs were and thought for a hot second that the black and white Bhad Bitch was the main villain of the Mighty Nein. I had to look it up, which led to me watching a CritRole Talks Machina live show, which led me to watching my first episode of Campaign 2. Thank you so much for introducing me to these absolute madlads! They've definitely changed my life for the better.
Your ability to make things as different as a druid and an artificer not only look like they're in the same time period, but also in the same adventuring party... it's astounding. All the little details and flares and colour schemes work so well! I'm so incredibly impressed every time!
I really love seeing art of the whole team together all happy and stuff. It makes me nostalgic for Winter’s Crest in Whitestone or literally anytime in the mansion other than that one at the end. I just wish we could’ve actually seen all of them together on the show including Tary and Tibs.
Holly man! Talk about hand cramp! I bet it was worth it though, 16 hours of hard core magic and BOOM! Looking back on your work, I hope your happy with how it turned out. I'd buy this if you where selling posters..........are you selling posters?
I've never watched this, but I am IN LOVE with the girl with antlers and the autumn leaf dress/cloak! Please can someone fill me in on who she is? Also, this an absolutely STUNNING piece of art, well done ABD 😁😁!!
Just recently I've heard about Critical Role, what is it exactly? Is it an actual show? Some people have told me it's a podcast? I'm not sure XD and where can I find it to watch/listen to it?
So critical role vox machina vs mighty nein are not the same? Me confused just seen the opening for. Vox machina how come there not making mighty nein. Someone explain please 🙏
I love your art and videos, finally came back to watch this. Small gripe, Pike's hair is actually shock white, even whiter than Percy's, not blonde, this was stated many times in Campaign 1. Amazing art, just a small nitpick there.
I love all of them, but that autumn woman (I'm not super familiar with the races in D&D, but I assume that's a druid?) is probably my favorite. I also like the guy with the glasses and the musket.
My brother loved these series and showed them to me. I now love it too. Awesome job with the drawing!!! Anyone answer, who is your favorite character? I like Vex and Vax.
I love your style. ^ ^ The one criticism I have is how you did Tiberius. I was disappointed to not see manual scale work and instead see a strange hexagonal pattern as a stand in. Everything is solid though and even with that criticism, Tiberius still looks great. ^ ^
Can you plz draw my D&ad character I can't draw humans/humanoids for the life of me and I really like him but feel like my drawings can't do him justice :( is there anyway I can see him in the way he should look? (Ps I absolutely love your style of art 💙)
I haven't watched a single episode of Vox Machina (I swear I will, once I catch up with the Mighty Nein) but I love them all with my whole heart and this makes me really excited to watch it! Great work!
wow i wish was that good at drawing ;-; and i would love to play d&d but sadly no one in my area wants to.... well except my dad but we can't play when we´re only two people :´)
I don’t even know what this is from, but I think I know each of them just by your art and how it seems to say everything about their personality’s. Well done!
Hey man came across your work in another video; gotta say I love it and was curious if you did commissioned work. Would love to know if you do, and would like to get some if at all possible. Keep up the amazing stuff.
This is amazing! My favorite thing about your work is how you make the skin look like it's positively glowing! (Quick side note I would DIE for Sam Riegel's characters)
This was so much fun to watch! I think this might be my favorite of all your speed paints, I'm not even in the fandom, but just watching all of these cool unique looking characters come together was spectacular! I love classic fantasy stuff, but this also had a bit of steam punk which was really cool!
ABD Illustrates awesome its so fun and the story is fantastic I'm telling you listen all way through I mean the ending of season one is just 👌 and I love Taako too but I can't decide who's my favorite between Taako and Magnus there just to great
I love your art is so cool and i love your videos when i get a computer i will do a speed paint i have a question do you like the anime my hero academia? also i love your art i also like to draw to
Mate I am genuinely confused by your art and how you do it so god damn amazing I am not just saying that as a compliment but actually how can you make your proportions like that and make the colors so spot on like what all are you thinking about when you draw what is your thought process when you are drawing all of this
I really love all your artwork! It really inspires me and make me want to pick up my sketchbook and draw along with the video. I also use your videos a lot to find cool poses for my character drawings.
I really like you included Tiberus too. Really all of Vox Machina :) (except for Trinket, but we should just assume he's in the necklace)
Tessa R yeah, I was surprised for Terry & Doty too, since they weren’t there all the time, but I was super happy that they all were there ~
*Sees a SpeedPaint*
NonArtists: *Admiration*
Artists: *Boosts Inspiration and Determination*
PencilPractice 90 yes.
Me: my work will never be that great
This is gorgeous! Your style compliments Percy and Vax so well!
I am so excited to see Tiberius in this artwork, I feel like he is almost never added in the Vox Machina fan art, which makes me so sad
Same. I liked Tiberius a lot.
Drawing Tiberius tends to absorb a lot of bad stigmas with it due to Orion Acaba's controversy. Look into it yourself, if you want to : /
I discovered the controversy a few months ago (I think... time in 2020 has been odd...) and it made me sad, Tiberius was a good character, just a shame that Orion wasn't a better player/person... I also don't know how I overlooked the stuff that happened during the games
I am SO glad you like Critical Role. I’ve been a fan of your art for a while now, and I also love Critical Role!
WOAH 16 HOURS?! YOU HAVE SO MUCH PATIENCE!
multiple days
It's also less than 2 hours per character which really seems super reasonable given the level of detail.
As an artist myself, this piece is absolutely amazing. The time, effort, coloring, shading, and patience this requires is beyond the average person's comprehention (When they are not artists themselves). I feel like you would do amazing tutorials. Id love to see a female hair tutorial. (Female hair is the only thing im struggling with right now)
I just need a tutorial on hair
when I first started drawing in high school, at the time I was a fan of dragons, I tried to draw a dragon one-dimensionally (which was side on) and did not get far. why? everything except the teeth, claws, and wings were straight and angular. I had to give up on drawing them. the book series (at the time, were a single book) is The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

Bro you mean *long* hair? Last I checked hair is generally the same between the two gaabs, outside of the culturally enforced hair length difference.
Your hands are absolutely flawless, I hope I can get to that point with my art! As well as your bodies, the coloring, the facial features, all gorgeous.
Me: *watching amazing art of Vox Machina*
Also me: "Nice"
Also also me: *sees Tiberius*
Also also also me: *Tearing up* "N-nice"
Can we make an Abd illustrates cult?
when my cousin saw the time he said *go out and get a life*
me: *you dont go out and you have a life*
didnt talk to me for an hour
They all look amazing.
But your Keyleth and Percy are on a completely different level.
I was trying to art while listening to this, but honestly, I just boogied in my chair the whole time XDD You really know how to pick songs for videos!!
Jayse Hamend I’m surprised anyone can art while watching videos. I can barely listen to music and do it ;(
I found it funny that it was from legend of Zelda
I get so excited every time I see you update, thank you so much for showing us your wonderful art!!!
I'm almost literally BLOWN AWAY by the amount of characters and details! That must've taken an awful lot of time but it looks so incredibly good!!!
Dude are you a wizard? All of your drawings have this wonderful sense of life to them, gets me so inspired!
16 HOURS?!! You are incredible
I got curious about Critical Role after watching this video, now I'm halfway through campaign 1 and can't stop! Thank you so much for bringing these wonderful nerds into my life :D
Haha I JUST subscribed to you like yesterday(?) and the first thing I get in my sub feed is fanart of my favorite thing. I love it, good job!
IT LOOKS SO GOOD! Also, who is your favorite NPC?
Thank you! :D
And I mean there're so many great ones, but one that always makes me smile has gotta be Gilmore!
ABD Illustrates me too. Can’t wait to see if you create more art for the 2nd campaign. 💓
Due, you even added Tary and Tiberius!! Plus i love your art style, and if im being honest, ive been teetering on jumping into drawing myself, and i think this might be the cincher. Thanks for the push i need AB!
Your art is so amazing it’s pretty incredible and I L O V E your art style!!
Also- do you plan to draw the new squad later on?
So I just found this out, apparently Vox Machina mean the Voice Machine, bit of an odd choice, sounds like it'd be a great band though.
I think it's because the people playing these characters are voice actors.
Wow, this is truly amazing dude! It made my day❤️❤️
Omg now that the show has come out this is so crazy lmao I love to see the comparison :)
Is it possible that someone may tell me what is Critical role, I would appreciate it. If not then it's ok afterall the artist worked so hard on this piece so that may be sufficient. Also artist if you didn't get a break...Just fucking sleep already dude. Anyway thank you for reading and have a good day.

YESSSSSSS
PLEASE DRAW THE NEW CHARACTERS NEXT!!!!
I get so happy when you post speedpaints, your art is so beautiful and inspiring
P.O.V: you’re here after watching The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime
This speedpaint was the thing that initially got me into Critical Role a half-year or so ago. This one and the Mighty Nein speedpaint afterwards - I had no idea who these precious babs were and thought for a hot second that the black and white Bhad Bitch was the main villain of the Mighty Nein.

Thank you so much for introducing me to these absolute madlads! They've definitely changed my life for the better.
I recently got into Critical Role and this channel. I screamed when I saw you had made this!
Your ability to make things as different as a druid and an artificer not only look like they're in the same time period, but also in the same adventuring party... it's astounding.
All the little details and flares and colour schemes work so well! I'm so incredibly impressed every time!
Omygosh, Your channel has come a long way! you are almost at 70k!
Tbh your channel is the reason I got into Critical Role
I have not started the first campaign yet, (I started on the second one and am already halfway through) BUT THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!!
I really love seeing art of the whole team together all happy and stuff. It makes me nostalgic for Winter’s Crest in Whitestone or literally anytime in the mansion other than that one at the end. I just wish we could’ve actually seen all of them together on the show including Tary and Tibs.
Holly man! Talk about hand cramp! I bet it was worth it though, 16 hours of hard core magic and BOOM! Looking back on your work, I hope your happy with how it turned out. I'd buy this if you where selling posters..........are you selling posters?
you definitely know the way :D
the character holding a tankard of alcohol makes me think of Kratos but more cheerful lol
GROG. (he also enjoys mayonnaise.)
I've never watched this, but I am IN LOVE with the girl with antlers and the autumn leaf dress/cloak! Please can someone fill me in on who she is? Also, this an absolutely STUNNING piece of art, well done ABD 😁😁!!
Her name is Keyleth, I think that's how you spell it
Keyleth from critical role
I know this is an old video but thank you. Thank you for doing all of Vox Machina. ALL of them.☺️
This looks fantastic!
How did you incorporate the galaxy into Bigby's Hand like that? I've been trying to figure out but I can'ttttttttt....???????
AHH nooo I cant watch ur videos they make me way too inspired to draw and my tablet is broken!!! whyyyyyyy??
Just recently I've heard about Critical Role, what is it exactly? Is it an actual show? Some people have told me it's a podcast? I'm not sure XD and where can I find it to watch/listen to it?
My only problem with this is that there's no voice over take this however you want mate I just like hearing you talk
I only recently started watching Critical Role and your channel. But this right here... is now how I Cannon imagine the characters as I'm watching.
Wow great timing, I just started listening to their podcast
So critical role vox machina vs mighty nein are not the same? Me confused just seen the opening for. Vox machina how come there not making mighty nein. Someone explain please 🙏
Suuuuuuuuppppppppeeeeeerrrrrr eeeeeepppppppppiiiiiiiiccccc ooooopppppeeeennnnniiiiinnnnnnnggg

This popped up on my fyp and I’m now wondering why I have never seen this?

AMAZING wonderful art work love it 💓
Can you do fools gold or dark and dicey speed paints plz
What program do you use to make these pieces?
If i remember correctly, he uses Paint Tool SAI.
You should watch the movie King Author, it very good!👌
I love your art and videos, finally came back to watch this. Small gripe, Pike's hair is actually shock white, even whiter than Percy's, not blonde, this was stated many times in Campaign 1. Amazing art, just a small nitpick there.
would it be possible for you to do a Lego Ninjago fan art piece? I would love to see how you would portray them in your style. Thanks :)
Where did you learn to draw the fur portion.
I love all of them, but that autumn woman (I'm not super familiar with the races in D&D, but I assume that's a druid?) is probably my favorite. I also like the guy with the glasses and the musket.
Dudeeeeeeee......How do you know how to color??
Yay! Tary is in it too! I was so happy to see that! ☺️
Oh my god I got so happy and excited when I saw Tiberius!
Teach me you magical ways master.
My brother loved these series and showed them to me. I now love it too. Awesome job with the drawing!!!
Anyone answer, who is your favorite character? I like Vex and Vax.
I like it i wish i had what ur using in digital draws
I love your style. ^ ^ The one criticism I have is how you did Tiberius. I was disappointed to not see manual scale work and instead see a strange hexagonal pattern as a stand in. Everything is solid though and even with that criticism, Tiberius still looks great. ^ ^
Amazing, as always! I can just say that I've fallen in love with your art style.
Can you plz draw my D&ad character I can't draw humans/humanoids for the life of me and I really like him but feel like my drawings can't do him justice :( is there anyway I can see him in the way he should look? (Ps I absolutely love your style of art 💙)
I haven't watched a single episode of Vox Machina (I swear I will, once I catch up with the Mighty Nein) but I love them all with my whole heart and this makes me really excited to watch it! Great work!
What program did you use?
Mighty Nein now? Please?
Critical Role seems interesting based off of what the characters. Idk, but the art is GREAT
wow i wish was that good at drawing ;-;
and i would love to play d&d but sadly no one in my area wants to....
well except my dad but we can't play when we´re only two people :´)
I don’t even know what this is from, but I think I know each of them just by your art and how it seems to say everything about their personality’s. Well done!
Im so glad you added Tiberius! Why isn't he shown much in critical role fan art ?
Because Orion is a dickhead
I can't do things like this, I don't have much patience. And I would try and work on one person at a time. I wouldn't do steps.
Hey man came across your work in another video; gotta say I love it and was curious if you did commissioned work. Would love to know if you do, and would like to get some if at all possible. Keep up the amazing stuff.
This is amazing! My favorite thing about your work is how you make the skin look like it's positively glowing!

I love classic fantasy stuff, but this also had a bit of steam punk which was really cool!

I love your art is so cool and i love your videos when i get a computer i will do a speed paint i have a question do you like the anime my hero academia? also i love your art i also like to draw to
Mate I am genuinely confused by your art and how you do it so god damn amazing I am not just saying that as a compliment but actually how can you make your proportions like that and make the colors so spot on like what all are you thinking about when you draw what is your thought process when you are drawing all of this
Okay. I know what it's called, but what is it....? A movie?

I can wait for the next video
Dang... 16 hours? This must've taken your whole day :O
I really love all your artwork!
It really inspires me and make me want to pick up my sketchbook and draw along with the video.
I also use your videos a lot to find cool poses for my character drawings.
Wheres!!!!!! Trinket!!!!!

How you edit your speedpaints is so extra but I am LIVING for it ♡
