Was relistening to balance when I heard Travis say in the announcements that there’s only two more episodes of graduation left so now I’m putting that on hold to catch up on graduation!
I think you should all look at the specific animation that made me get into The Adventure Zone. I waited three seasons to find the actual dialogue that had sparked my interest.
I think there are more TAZ fans on Tumblr than on Twitter so I’mma gonna post these here. I just started listening bout 6 months ago and now I’m all caught up. Justin tends to make characters I HAVE to draw.
some taz chars in cool fits I did for insta the other day!
[ID: Two drawings of the Firbolg and Lup respectively. The Firbolg is a large, pale green humanoid with freckles, an animal-like nose, and dark green hair in a ponytail with bangs that cover his eyes. He has a tail with fur in a tuft at the end. He’s wearing a pink sweater and a long black skirt. The Firbolg raises his arms, spread wide, and smiles. Lup is a slim elf in a long, fitted, fur-trimmed dress; the fur billows up around her neck dramatically. She has short gloves and a large feather in her hair. Lup holds a wall and poses with her other arm bent and raised. She grins at the viewer and winks. There’s an umbrella in the crook of her arm. /ID]
[ID: Waist-up portraits of Fitzroy, Argo, and the Firbolg. The Firbolg is a grey skinned humanoid with long pointed ears, pink hair pulled into a bun, and two birds perched on his shoulder and head. He is wearing two long leaves fastened together into a vest, and ivy tied into his bun and framing the edge of the portrait. The second is Fitzroy, a brown-skinned half-elf man with brown hair, summoning Snippers, a small purple crab. He is wearing a white button-up under a red double-breasted jacket. His portrait is framed with a traditional-looking frame. The third is a portrait of Argo, a dark-skinned water genasi man. He has water hair pulled into a ponytail and a handbar mustache. He is wearing wraps up to his forearms, an off-the-shoulder cream-colored shirt with poofy sleeves, and a necklace with a nautilus shell. His portrait is framed with a crashing wave.]
[ID: Digital drawing of Argo Keene, who is a pale blue humanoid with fins for ears and dark blue hair that resembles waves; he also has a mustache. Argo is seen from the waist up facing the viewer. He clutches a ship steering wheel with both arms, and holds a rapier up in one hand. He glares; a tear drips down his face. Behind him the ocean is turbulent, and the sun is setting, turning the sky pink and orange. Clouds gather and lightning strikes. He is standing between two rocks. /ID]
episode 32 aka addition #5 to the epic maplekeene compilation
[ID: Several sketches of Fitzroy and Argo, seen from the bust up, set against a pink background. First: They’re seen in profile. Argo clutches Fitzroy’s shoulders and says “You can do it!” Fitzroy is surrounded by smoke or steam. Second, Argo hugs Fitzroy and says “Welcome back, boyo.” Fitzroy’s face is pressed into Argo’s neck. Third, Fitzroy touches Argo’s face; Argo stares up at him, eyes hollow. Fourth, Argo sits up in bed, looking frazzled, and says “We’ve got to stop meeting like this!” Argo rests a hand on Fitzroy’s leg, smiles, and says “I spend a lot of time hanging out at your bedside.” Last, Fitzroy glares and says “I’ll explode the room.” Behind him, Argo looks at him in surprise. /ID]
[ID: fully colored digital ship art of fitzroy and argo from the adventure zone graduation. fitzroy is a tall and muscular half-elf with light brown skin, copper slicked-back hair and a thick beard. he wears a maroon cape and tight maroon trousers, embroidered with gold and secured with a belt. he wears a sapphire and gold dangly earring and a red waistcoat over a cream colored blouse. he smiles and closes his eyes as he kisses argo as they embrace contentedly in front of a vivid sunset on the sea, argo with his arms around fitzroy’s shoulders. he is a blue-skinned genasi man with long and flowing hair made from water and a mustache. argo dons a large and feathered pirate hat, a white ruffled blouse, a red sash and black trousers. pearls stylishly dangle from his pockets and are draped across his hat. ID end]
[ID: A full-color digital drawing of Argonaut Keene from TAZ Graduation against a teal background. He has warm and pale teal skin and dark shoulder-length blue hair cut into a 70s shag. He has a handlebar mustache and big sea-green eyes, and has a determined look on his face. He wears a cream-colored poet blouse exposing his bare chest and a brown vest with a patch, as well as a golden compass amulet around his neck. He reaches toward the camera with both hands as if resting on its shoulders, implied to be Fitzroy’s point of view, and is saying “You can do it!”. End ID]
I decided to do another re-draw from the TAZ: Petals to the Metal graphic novel (written by the McElroy family & illustrated by the amazing @careydraws !) I loved this panel of Taako so much I just had to draw it in my style!
Ok like for sure we need to know more about the characters but have y’all considered??? Bud(??) is not super talkative and Fitz would absolutely talk his ear off but he totally wouldn’t mind. Also bud is like 4 x the size of Fitz and he protecc
