    [taken from Reddit post]
    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 ❤️

This is obviously a stone giant fortress.

    INTERMISSION

    Percival knows the nearby forested area, the Parchwood Forest (that encompases the entirety of this valley), toward the center-north of it is where Whitestone sits (and for your reference as well, since you’ve been here before) here is a map.
    You are coming in from what would be the northwestern side of the city. The little outcropping to the east was the graveyard to Whitestone. It’s where most of the regular denizens were interred. It’s been expanded over the years as the city itself has been around for quite a few generations. It is a surface graveyard. There is a mausoleum, but that is actually contained beneath the castle. There is a secret passage Percy used to escape on the very western edge of the mountain precipice of the castle. It was built to be specifically an escape in case the plcae was under siege. Unfortunately, the circumstances of the evening happened so rapidly (and with creatures that seemingly were unnatural) the family didn’t have time to make it out. Even you weren’t fully aware of it. Cassandra, however, had overheard discussions about the passage and took that as your escape route. It’s a hidden tunnel at the very base of the mountain.
