Paper Pigeons, Scattered High

Wicander Halovar 🤍 Fan art of His Radiance Wicander Halovar from Critical Role campaign 4, character belongs to Sam Riegel. ____________ I have to keep talking about this, because if we won't, nobody else will. Just a few days ago, russians launched a large-scale aerial attack on Kyiv overnight (Nov. 13-14), launching hundreds of killer drones and missiles at the Ukrainian capital, killing at least seven people and injuring over 30. These drones are not like those used for wedding videography, they are massive and deadly, and they are specifically aiming them at people's homes in high rise apartment buildings. Houses were damaged in nearly every district, including my own. A never before seen amount of hypersonic and ballistic missiles were launched at just one city, those that are particularly hard (often near impossible) to interrupt. After living through another nightmare, I can't help but feel like the world has simply accepted our demise and choose to look away while Ukrainians are completely dehumanized and used as a meat shield, while being blamed for asking for help. There won't be a moral to this story today, morale is very low, our amazing engineers are trying their best to fix the electricity shortages, but blackouts are still a daily occurrence. I just hope we can somehow live through this upcoming winter. There is no end in sight though and it is devastating. But let me be clear, all of this is still nowhere near as bad as living under occupation, for those who even get to live.

Earth shattering news: Sam’s character has once again… become my favorite (spoilers ahead for critical role campaign 4, ep 3. RUN! Run while you still can!!!)

I know this is a little late but I made this for episode 2 and 3 when Wicci learns where the ink for his sick tats is sourced.

This plot twist was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for more. I just love the Filament and their quest to gather government control using all natraul grandpa goo fresh from the basement and wicander being forced to recon with the fact that his entire life and belief system was built on lies.

I know the way I drew ol’ Wicci’s man downstairs might not exactly scream ‘tortured spirit trapped in an Iron Maiden’ (in fact, I think he looks quite good for his age and situation) but when Brennan was talking about this ‘never dying angel’ that worshipped the god of light (might be wrong on that lol) I couldn’t help but picture an undying corpse perpetually on fire… hopefully that comes across 😼👍

It has been so long since I did a full painting but I wanted to experiment with these two!!
