"How Do You Want To Do This?" - Critical Role Cover Music Tribute by Richard Turner
87This is a little track I put together in tribute to the musical history of Critical Role, and to celebrate their upcoming 100th episode of Campaign 2!
(SPOILER WARNING: This video features artwork depicting events throughout all of Critical Role Campaign 1 and up to episode 94 of Campaign 2!)
If you haven't heard of Critical Role before, it's a video series where a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors get together to play Dungeons & Dragons, and have been doing it online since 2015!
The stories and characters of Critical Role inspire some of the greatest fan art I've seen from any fandom, and so I wanted to use this video as a way to showcase some of my favorite art and artists, in the same vein that Critical Role themselves display fan art during the intermissions and bookends of every CR episode.
Please support these artists! They have all been very generous in allowing me to use their artwork in my video, and deserve all the credit for their beautiful art! Delve into their portfolios, visit their Patreons, their Ko-fis, and follow them in all the places! I'll pin their credits again in the comments below.
There are an insane amount of talented artists out there, and these are just a few of them. I apologise if I missed you out or your favorite artist isn't featured here-- I reached out to some 100+ artists for permission to use their artwork and included all of those that I received responses from!
As far as my track goes, I hope you listen through it first before you read down this far, and see if you can recognize all the pieces within! Otherwise, here's the full credits for the tracks I've covered here:
