Episode 112: The Assembling of Legends

Bells Hells and the Mighty Nein had teamed up to be the 'away squad' to head to Ruidus through the portal that was discovered in Issylra, while the rest of Exandria planned an assault on the Malleus Key (both as a distraction to allow these two groups to go unnoticed to and inside the moon itself before dividing to two different tasks:

  1. The Mighty Nein head into the Arx Creonum and destroy the Weave Mind
  2. Bell's Hells clamber into the depths and the core of Ruidus itself to stop the Ruby Vanguard and Ludinus from releasing Predathos.)

As you prepped for this journey, traversed to Ruidus and then teleported into the basement of the Jagged Edge Glassworks where Caleb had set up his Nein-sided Tower for an evening's rest before the final push towards their collaborative missions.
There the groups got to know each other a little better, prepared for the evening with some spells and enchantments that would last them for the coming day, and then eventually, dividing amongst their various chambers to rest for the night, while also discussing what may very well be the last night on Exandria for all of them. With that a night's rest is had and the morning comes to.
You all begin to rouse from your collective slumber and gather within the main chamber of the Nein-sided Tower.

Hi! GalacticJonah here, aka the guy who had the honour to draw the new Vox Machina art pieces. First for all, massive thanks to everyone who left nice comments!! I thought people might be interested in some behind the scenes and fun facts so here we go:

All designs were created by directly corresponding and working with the cast, which was both exciting and scary, lmao. In general that was the vibe of the whole thing because VM are legendary and critters are very passionate, so the pressure to get this right was high.

Some of the cast went with vibes and story, others with detailed references, but they put a lot of trust in me all the way and I was allowed quite a lot of freedom within the guidelines. I remember Kiki's design in particular because it was just right from the very start -- honestly the biggest thrill for anyone who has ever designed for a client before!!

The designs pull from many places, so some things are based on pre-existing designs. Legally though they were not allowed to be too similar/copying any Legend of Vox Machina stuff - so that is why some things are very different (see Cerkonos).

Some more fun bits about the process:

  • Laura requested that Vex and Percy match in their fashion, so I coordinated their colours!
  • There was a whole back and forth whether Scanlan would be an overall small centaur or a small gnome body on a regular horse. As you see, we went with the latter.
  • I gave Vex the gold earcuff. You know why~
  • I ended up giving myself a 'druid = body piercing' headcanon because someone once argued that they cannot wear metal way way back when I first drew Kiki with a septum piercing. So that's why Cerkonos has a nipple ring ✌️
  • Taliesin came up with the suntree pattern on Percy's coat like that and it rules!!! What a rad idea.
  • Vex's style was described to me as 'corporate ranger'!
  • Both our gnomes look older than they teeechnically should, lore wise, on request from the players. I actually was really happy about that - the passage of time is important and it's beautiful to show it off ❤️
  • The other option for Scanlan's bumper sticker (lmao) was 'You Spice?'
  • I worked under my own goal to make all of these designs a bisexuals fucking nightmare so, yeah.

And that's all I can think of. Thank you all for liking these ❤️
