INSPIRATION & RESEARCH
Inspiration
I can confidently say that this project would not exist without Critical Role. Critical Role is a production company best known for its namesake program, a livestreamed Dungeons and Dragons campaign that has quickly become the most popular TTRPG stream in the world. Created and hosted by professional voice actors, the show is absolutely bursting with creativity and masterful storytelling.
​
This show introduced me to the idea of voice acting (and being nerdy) as a real career. It made me want to explore voice acting and creating characters out of thin air. This soon evolved into the exploration of creating concept art, and music to match.
​
If there's anything quarantine has shown the world, its the power of art. Through television shows, video games, and Twitch streams, joy has continued to persevere through creativity.
​
I want to be a part of that.
Changing Concepts
Throughout this process I learned how to be more adaptable. This project is not the concept I pitched in the fall, but I am still extremely proud of it. Life happens, but the creative process flows on.
TECHNIQUES
VOICE ACTING
I have grown more confident in creating unique character voices, and writing scripts that work in tandem to reflect their personalities.
MUSIC COMPOSITION
This was the first time I branched out into multi-instrument arrangements, and I really feel that I created music that tells the story of these characters, from the instruments to the rhythms and melodies.
CHARACTER DESIGN
I learned more about how to tell a story through a character's facial expression, pose, outfit, and color scheme. Everything matters.
ILLUSTRATION
I am very new to the world of digital art, but through pose studies and style explorations I have grown more confident in digital experimentation and character design.
