Taako is that one friend who will go to Kwik Trip dressed to the nines, and then go to the club a week later in his pajamas and that’s the tea.

[ID: A digital drawing of Taako, a thin elf with chin length blonde hair, bangs, medium toned skin, and freckles. He is wearing a dark blue suit with a gold embroidered pattern on the pants and hems of the jacket. The jacket is open to reveal a large piece of jewelry made from gold chain that resembles a harness. He is wearing big round sunglasses, and his wizard hat is also decorated with gold chains. In his hand is a bag labeled Fantsy Kwik Trip. End ID]
Taako installs a fancy combination bird feeder and fountain near the side of his house. If he and Lup have to move from a reasonable city apartment to a suburb lacking in decent scenic views, he at least wants something nice to look at when he’s working at home. Nature being good for the brain chemicals or whatever.
Taako’s already accounted for the size and scope of the fountain setup—from what Lucretia’s nerd books say, the local bird population consists of larger carrion eaters, mainly ravens. Big birds mean big fountain base, minimal interference, and a wider variety of food. With a little help from Mags, the hard part is already out of the way. The battery powered food bank distributes on a twice daily timer. All he has to do is get the fountain hooked up to a water source and it’s good to go. No biggie.
What Taako has not accounted for is waking up the day after the feeder is installed, just to glance out of his window and see a whole ass man crouched out on the lawn with the rest of the flock.
accidentally left y'all hanging in suspense with this one oops
ID: First image is of Taako, an elven man with a slight build, freckles, and curly hair up in a bun. He is wearing a sweatershirt that says, “college” on the front and holds a mug in his hand. He yawns in the first panel and then stares out a window. The second image is of Kravitz, a half elven man with long locs, facial hair, and a slight build. He is wearing a button up shirt, slacks, and simple shoes. He is couching beside a tall, elaborate bird feeder and fountain. The fountain is surrounded by feeding ravens. One raven in particular is standing on Kravitz’s leg, as he appears to be talking to it. The thrid image shows Kravitz glancing to the side, and then eyes widening in suprise. The bottom panels show a confused Taako staring at Kravitz from within his house. The last panel is of Kravitz turning to runaway, (a small caption saying “shit” right by his head.) In the background Taako reacted by leaning on the window pane and yelling. End ID

[ID: Two sketches featuring Taako. First: Taako is an olive-toned elf with medium complexion and blond hair. He’s a long, hooded brown robe with a black sash, and a long olive green cloak with patterned trim over it. He is turned slightly right and glances backwards, smiling. He’s holding a navy blue umbrella. Text says “Taako’s good out here.” Second: Merle, Magnus, and Taako, shaded orange on loose-leaf paper. Merle is short, and only reaches Magnus’s knees; he’s holding a book. Magnus puffs out his chest, hands on his hips, and grins. Taako smiles serenely; his hands are in his pockets. /ID]
[ID: Three drawings of Taako, seen from the bust up in black, white, and pink. First: Taako looks at the viewer and cringes. His hand is slightly raised; the other is holding the umbrella staff horizontally. He says “Never speak to me or my skeleton again.” Second: Taako grins or laughs, eyes shut. He’s turned left. His braid falls over his shoulder. Last: Taako rolls his eyes. He’s turned right and is wearing a backpack. /ID]
[ID: Digital drawing of Taako, seen thrice. Taako is a tan elf with curly blue-green hair and a dark undercut. He’s wearing a white shirt with half sleeves under a darker cardigan which falls off one shoulder, as well as a short, striped brown shirt, and brown pants or tights; he also has a pointed red hat with a crystal tied to it. First, Taako stands facing the viewer. He holds the Umbra Staff pointed down like a cane and smiles neutrally. The Umbra Staff is ombre dark red to pale yellow like a fire. Second, Taako is seen from the next up in profile. His face is bare with no make-up. Last, he’s seen from the bust up, grinning mischievously and gesturing towards his face. “I’m Taako, y’know? From TV?” he says, /ID]
and my favorite scene in the entire podcast is arms outstretched
[ID: Digital drawing featuring Taako. Taako’s bloodied body falls backwards to the right; his head is just off-screen. Taako’s soul looks similar but is drawn transparent and red, and it stands in front of his body, turned left. He stares forward, brows knit, and holds a ghostly version of the Umbra Staff. The background is dark red. /ID]

[ID: Digital drawing of Taako, seen twice. Taako is a tan elf with braided blond hair and purple eyes. His bangs cover the right half of his face. He’s wearing a purple top with half-sleeves, a black corset, and high-waisted shorts, as well as fishnet stockings, boots, and a pointed purple hat. The underside is lighter and stars dangle from the brim. First, Taako stands with a hand on his hip. Second, he’s seen from the bust up wearing a cloak; he looks down and sweats a little. Last, he holds a red umbrella with both hands and grins. /ID]
Image ID: A drawing of Taako from The Adventure Zone: Balance. He’s an elf with light brown skin and dark brown hair that is dyed a pink-purple color at the end. He’s sitting in a red wheelchair with his back towards the camera, his head twisted around to grin at the viewer. He’s wearing a purple shirt with yellow stars and a blue coat over it. In his hand is a purple ball of magic. The background is a yellow rectangle that steadily gets darker the further away from the magic ball. End ID.
[ID a three panel Adventure Zone comic done in a sketched style.
In the first panel, Merle, an older dwarven man with a long beard, short ponytail, glasses and wearing a flower-print shirt stands with a reassuring smile on his face. He holds up both of his hands, one of which is made of wood. Behind him, Taako (a slim elven man in a large hat and high-wasted pants) stares at a shattered window quizzically, while next to him Magnus (A large human man in bulky armour with a short ponytail and choppy beard) stares down at a rock that looks as though it has been thrown from the broken window. Attached to the rock is a scribbled note that reads: “F*** THE BOB. -Not Brian”. Merle, facing off-screen, says: “Listen, he may be an idiot but he can read; I’ll be–”
In the second panel, Lucretia, an older dark skinned human woman with tight curly white hair, an elegant dress and holding a wooden staff which winds around a small orb, says: “My organization’s in the hands of an idiot?”
In the third panel, Merle is seen again, his hands still up and his expression now more desperate to reassure. He says: “No no no no no no… THREE idiots!”
@paticmak made me listen to The Adventure Zone and I just finished Petals to the Metal! I really wanted to draw them with their masks
[ID: two drawings. The first is of Taako, a dark-complexioned elf with dark hair that falls past his chin and is adorned with a few beads and bands. He’s wearing a mongoose mask over the upper part of his face and a striped shawl over his head. His fists are clenched and he looks angry as he says, “You know, I’m traveling around with the boner squad and I never get to say what I’m feeling! I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you!”
The second drawing is of Merle, Magnus and Hurley, staring wide-eyed as Taako continues to rant. Merle is a dark-complexioned dwarf with gray braided hair and a short beard. He’s wearing an owl mask. Magnus is a pale-complexioned human with light reddish-brown hair and blue-painted fingernails. He’s wearing a bear mask. Hurley is a light-skinned halfling with olive tones and chin-length black hair. She’s wearing a ram skull mask. From out of frame, Taako says in all caps, “I have a beating heart! I’m multi dimensional! I’m a fully realized creation! Fuck!”]
quick doodle because i’ve been thinking about these two today
[ID: Sketch of Taako and Kravitz, seen in profile from the bust up. They are turned towards each other, faces held close together as they embrace. Taako wraps his arms around Kravitz’s neck. Kravitz touches Taako’s cheek. They look into each others’ eyes and smile. /ID]
[ID: A digital group drawing of the tres horny boys from TAZ balance on a dark pink backdrop, shaded in red shades with yellow highlights. Magnus, a large buff Chinese man with heavy armor, curly hair and a scar on his right eye smiles brightly at the camera, carrying Taako bridal style. Taako is a tan elf with a light-haired mullet and curtain bangs, a thin goatee and a gap toothed smirk. he wears a wide-brimmed wizard hat with stars and a bow on it, a long trench coat, a fluffy boa and feather earrings, and he has the umbrastaff dangling from his right hand. Merle is on the right side of the picture, hanging off Magnus and leaning his head on his wooden hand; Merle is a dark-skinned dwarf with thick glasses, an eyepatch, a white fluffy beard and white hair done up in a bun. He is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and leather armor, and is smiling as well.]
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!
I had so much fun reading through the new @theadventurezone TAZ: Petals to the Metal graphic novel! Taako is always my favorite part, and I loved this panel so much that I felt compelled to draw it in my style! @careydraws did such a wonderful job on the original as always!
People be criticizing TAZ as if it were a TV show and they have any legitimate say in the entertainment they gain from listening to other people play a roleplaying game.
“I’m not sure I like the way you characterized them, it feels lacking” says someone you don’t know about your Skyrim avatar.
