Illustration for the interior title page of Critical Role and Penguin Random House's recently released Exquisite Exandria, the official cookbook of Critical Role, by @lizmarsham with recipes by @jesseszewczyk , Susan Vu and Amanda Yee.

This is a special one because it actually is a collaboration with my sister Mariana, who is an amazing architect and helped me design the look of the building itself. I would also like to thank her and Mariana Britto for helping out with the references for some of the characters. Special thanks to Ian Dingman for his help and guidance throughout this project.

This was a fun yet challenging piece to paint, with so many characters I adore and tasty looking dishes. I'm also terminally obsessed with CR and included a bunch of easter eggs for critters to enjoy 😉

ROUND 3, POLL 14

Which NPC is the best overall character?

Propaganda:

Lucien: Not only did her actually know what he was championing, he took the whole operation over and didn't even have to dominate anyone. Like, my guy has the eye rabies and he got as far as he did with just his LARP buddies

Eshteross: He's a badass fighter who loves to read and bake. He fights against corruption. He's an awesome friend/patron who always has Bell's Hells back. What's not to love about that? he's suave, erudite, urbane and cool. He is HOT, so VERY HOT

Having a C3 re-watch and these words by Lord Eshteross seem to be a tiiiiny hint as to just how dark Matt was planning things on getting. Maybe. Who knows what's going on in the background 🤷🏻

Full quote: "I guess all I have to say is, keep that heart pure. As long as you can. So much of this world tries to pull it away. So much of it."

sometimes, i remember lord eshteross is dead and we won’t ever get to know what other recipes he liked baking, and get sad.

ROUND 2: POLL 16

Propaganda

Eshteross: baking dad

Sprinkle: N/A

[thevalleyisjolly]

Mighty Nein crack fic concept: Fjord and Jester have decided to get married on the beautiful island of Rumblecusp, and as a surprise wedding gift, Jester secretly Sends out invites to the reclusive former adventurer Lord Eshteross (he can be alive here, as a treat), the notorious Meat Man of Ank'Harel, and the enigmatic founder of the world-renowned C-Pop Industries, to find out which one of them is Fjord's biological dad.

+bonus: At least one of them ends up hooking up with Vandran at the wedding

[ellewidogast]

Anyone else (tragically) headcanon that Lord Eshteross and his patroness are Fjord's biological parents?

Can we talk about how we have both old man Bruce Wayne and lego batman in Critical Role in the form of Lord Eshteross and The Owlbear. I am a huge fan of the theory that Eshteross was the first Owlbear in his youth, the gritty, intense, tragically heroic one. That there have been several since and the Owlbear we see in the Darrington brigade is like the fourth or fifth and is the goofy try hard lego batman version in Exandria. I love it so much.

Yes, The Darrington Brigade is 17 years before C3 but that math checks out, Eshteross could have been the Owlbear in his younger years, then eventually passed the mantel on. The Owlbear we know and love could have picked up the mantel either by copying rumors he heard in the criminal underbelly of the world, or by coming to the conclusion that owlbears are scary independently, which is hilarious.

C3 E13 (25:17)

FCG: And Lord Eshteross? 

E: "Yes?"

FCG: "Some of us have the ability to communicate either telepathically or at a distance with creepy whispers. I don't really know your skillset other than you're a badass and kind of rich. Do you have any way of signaling us silently or anything, or any magic at your disposal?"

E: "I am not a practitioner of the arcane arts, but I'm a, while somewhat aged, capable master of the martial." He grabs this heavy cane off to the side, and you remember, a number of you, taking some heavy wallops from it in the past, and smacks it on the ground a bit. It gives this reverbing ring as it impacts, just (stick reverbing). 

Ash: "Mysterious, badass, rich, it's like Owlbear Man". (laughter) "I mean, if you think about it, it's basically Owlbear Man". 

FCG: "I've heard those stories."

Ash: "Yeah, they're my favorites growing up."

E: "Owlbear Man does not exist. He's a folktale. A way to scare children in the outskirts of rural villages."

 FCG: "And criminals." 

Ash: "And criminals."

E: "Such a thing does not exist."

Laudna: "But I thought he was a criminal himself, right? Which makes him cool. He's like a vigilante."

 Ash: "It's on both sides, I mean, like, you know, growing up, clearly."

I mean come on, he's totally the og Owlbear!

Honorable mention to Percy who is definitely also giving old man Bruce Wayne vibes for sure. He just doesn't really fit into the Owlbear side of the equation; it's not his style. There is wonderful fanfiction potential in it though. Young Percy running into Eshteross instead of Orthax and learning how to fight crime to avenge his dead family oh my god this is amazing someone please write it hahahaha.
