#chroma conclave

[anodesu]

6 years ago i made a piece in honour of the conclusion of the Chroma Conclave. I was inexplicably compelled to draw it yet again thanks to The Legend of Vox Machina.  Time flies.  (Also a friend pointed out that you could tell my current cats are utterly chaotic compared to the cat i lived with when i drew the first piece and it’s extremely true)

You know, watching Legend of Vox Machina Season II really reminds me that 5e dragons just got the short end of the stick.

All 5e dragons follow the same template:

A Multiattack

A Bite

A Claw

A couple of Legendary actions which usually include a tail slap and a wing attack.

A breath attack that recharges on a 5-6.

Whereas the dragons in LOVM are using abilities like:

An AOE acid flyover attack caused by the wings scattering acid.

Creating ice walls to separate the party.

Lingering poison gas clouds.

AOE flame attacks that strike a wide area and leave lingering flames.

You know what this reminds me of? 4e's dragons. Like, look at this ability from a 4th Edition Black Dragon.

Sets up a cloud of darkness that blinds everyone within it, allowing the dragon to evade attacks and pick off the weaker enemies.

The Ancient Red Dragon, by contrast, punishes you for trying to fight it. It has an innate aura that makes it hard to shoot it. It has a fire aura that damages anyone who tries to get in close. Anyone who tries to flank it gets slapped away. Anyone who tries to stay at range gets burned by either its Breath Weapon or single target Immolate attack.

And do you see that kicker on the breath weapon? The Red Dragon's flames are so powerful it can overcome damage resistance. There is no safe way to fight an Ancient Red Dragon.

Compare that to 5e's Ancient Red Dragon.

God, that shit is dull. It's just a better Wyrmling. It has some more attacks and a few extra powers. Half its abilities can be hard countered with a Ring of Fire Elemental Command. Lair actions make things a bit more interesting, but it's still mostly variations on "do something with fire."

4e had a lot of faults, but the monsters at least had interesting powers.

I could have drawn Dr Anna Ripley back when she appeared during the Briarwood arc. But I waited for the moment of the showdown.

If I had a nickel for every voice actor who went from voicing a little purple dragon of a beloved children’s franchise to voicing a much larger killer dragon in Legend of Vox Machina…

ive watched the tlovm s2 clip 100 times, so heres my attempt to recreate the conclave's designs based on their models. i adore them all so much.

under the cut are all the screenshots i used as reference + some ramblings about their designs (its image heavy)

to start off, heres the conclave approaching at the very end of season 1. now that we've seen the dragons individually, im confident identifying each of them!!

raishan is an ugly beast and i LOVE it!!!! her wings being super tattered is a great touch. im just sad they didnt actually show her disease scar(s), but i suppose they have to keep that a mystery

vorugal is shown a ton, i love that his wings are more like a paraglider than regular dragon wings. gives him a super cool silhouette! he reminds me of a rhinoceros with the big muscle-y arms and horn

they only show thordaks underbelly, hes a big lizard. i like how the crystal looks a lot

umbrasyl's design definitely is the most different from common interpretations of him and i fucking LOVE IT!!! giving him an acid pouch is amazing!!!! and the spikes??

overall theyre all amazing designs, the team did a great job at giving them super distinct palettes and wing shapes to help tell them apart without JUST the colours red/white/black/green. ^_^ 10/10

I have to say the way they depicted the quintessential natures of each of the different color types of the dragons in the first episode was fucking perfect. From Raishan's observant needling, to the tone of voice Liam does with Vorugal (not stupid per se but certainly not as eloquent as the others), to Umbrasyl's almost purring "with pleasure" in regards to doling out pain, and finally the king himself, Thordak. Lance Riddick was inspired casting, the utter power with which Thordak carried himself. The Chroma Conclave was just fucking chef's kiss.

Best Critical Role Villians excluding Gods & minor encounters

The last of the Chroma Conclave, the ancient green dragon Raishan. The head started based as a meanier dilophosaurus thingy and I'd like to think the crest is retractable. Also I added some kind of goose tongue because those beast have the meaniest tongues in nature. Voiced by Matthew Mercer on @criticalrole and by Cree Summer in The Legend of Vox Machina.
