@jackzarts 😭 I love themmmmm

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

completely unhinged and some of the funniest things I've ever experienced, so much I-can't-breathe crying laughing. such an honor to be trusted to be the director of photography this season, as well as design projections with @rubertdubert !! it's a WILD RIDE ❌🛑💥⬆️

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

SO ready for everyone to finally be able to see what @jackzarts @adragonswinging @SHelmigh @TitusLunter @domirine @caitmayart @GalacticJonah and (on insta) @ margaretdost and @ coolthingsbyjacob along with @rubertdubert and I have been working on over in the Forgotten Realms 👀

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

Super technical to perform and edit, and one my favorite visuals we've made!! every stoat @dontdoabit made brings me great joy, and the Last Bast set is so much fun. I felt immense pressure to land that stoat in the doorway at the end so we didn't have to restart the take again!!

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

more BTS (behind the stoats?) of the Last Bast puppets with @dontdoabit and @rubertdubert !! You can see the ref monitor we used while placing debris we wandered around Home Depot to find, and the light gag we used to reveal LB using grooves cut in cardstock! set only cut me once

@jackzarts He’s so important to me

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

@jackzarts MY BOY

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

the shadow puppet vignettes are some of my favorite things we've made for the show, and the cast reactions are why! it was important for us to make it practical to give it a stoat-made touch, and it took all 3 of us (@dontdoabit @rubertdubert & I) puppeteering to make it happen!

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

@indiecrowarts @dimension20show @dontdoabit @rubertdubert the specific look is from a style of shadow puppetry called "crankies," combining scenic / static elements that are cranked in on a vertical sheet of paper with puppets who have sticks perpendicular to them off their back to hide them! we had to build a crankie box for this!

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

@jackzarts Something something hot Drow

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

@dimension20show finale of #Mentopolis tonight!! wanted to share some of the projections @rubertdubert and I made, love how stylized and textured everything was! remembering fondly slowly losing my mind repeating "tubes tubes tubes" as I drew every single one 🧠

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

@dancynrew This is so cool and so the type of art I’m super into, wow

[austin walker @austin_walker]

Annie MADE the cover art to Media Club Plus. Like, out if real stuff!!! And shot it with a camera!!! She breaks down that process here.

@atebbel Was subbed to 3 patreons, have managed to re-sub to 2 of them by going into my membership settings and hitting “edit membership” then confirming without changing tiers. Tried to give fatt my dollar the same way, didn’t work, probably b/c its set to charge new members on the 1st.

[Derek Christiansen @derekcdesign]

So excited for this look at the first season of D20 @rubertdubert and I are projections designers for! It's so much fun working with the art team and the team on set filming and making everything look so amazing! And I'm especially excited we got @jackzarts to help us illustrate!

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

@jackzarts I do like to try all of them when I can but I’ll keep coming back to sorcerer forever. It’s so good. I love just having powers for no reason and also being cantrips georg

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

The problem with my idea to write an End of the World hack (designed for online play) based on homestuck, is that I’d have to go back and finish reading homestuck.

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

Things I enjoy:
- ragging on dnd
- playing dnd

Anyway here’s my fairy Druid/bard named Absinthe

For reasons unknown, it was decided “team bonding” at work would be a D&D day… but no one seemed keen on DMing, and some didn’t even seem keen on playing. I said ok, I’ll take the lead… knowing that we’d have more fun with something that was not D&D…

[Ruby O'Brien @rubertdubert]

@EvilSqueegee @Ursidice That’s why I wound up picking a GMless system - with no one person in charge of herding the cats, we were actually a lot better off! Questmas was perfect because it’s quick turns/scenes, so everyone gets to play, without just having 10 people all trying to contribute at once.
