Crit Recap Animated
As art director & character designer for Critical Role’s digital animated series, Joshua defined the epic Dungeon & Dragons campaign retelling.
The goal of Crit Recap Animated was to condense 500 hours of acclaimed actual Dungeons & Dragons play into under an hour of animation for audiences. The series provided a quick and entertaining way to catch up with the sprawling narrative.
It was key that the art style was cute, irreverent, original, and awesome. Each episode presented artistic and production challenges to meet the ever expanding roster of characters, locations, and props. Over the course of 10 episodes, the series featured over 100 unique characters. The animation team worked closely with Critical Role to make sure this retelling was accurate and packed full of details and jokes for fans to find.
True to classic fantasy form, the Mighty Nein come across many wonderous characters including those created by guest actors on the Critical Role livestream. There was no shortage of goofy, alluring, and horrifying creatures!
