- A sendoff for the shadiest handsome boy in our campaign.
First animatic I've ever done at this scale or posted anywhere ever.
Tiefling Hess the Bladelock of Vecna betrays his party for his master in exchange for his family and hella riches. He takes the hand of Vecna from the fallen lich his party just defeated and makes the necessary sacrifice.

Ah yes... the hand of Vecna. A very powerful and corrupting Artifact indeed...
Kinda reminds me of how our parties beloved barbarian npc turned into a main evil bad guy for the next campaign.
Pulled a genuine Arkan the Cruel
sometimes there's just no coming back from a decision
I really want to know the story behind all this it's really compelling to me and I love the way this depicts vecna because vecna always felt a little cliché to me but the way that vecna is depicted in this animation and just the presence legitimately made me interested in a character I never really cared for, fantastic work and I would love to know the story behind all of this
Awww omg thank you so much! I'm thinking about making more animatics (or even dnd stories if I ever get off my ass). Our DM is amazing and I'll say at least in my experience the story we got going on is well above average. The only question is wondering where to start in the story, LOL! Thank you for the lovely comment, it's great encouragement to make more :)
@@GhostPaprika cannot wait to see more stuff from you, you definitely earned a new follower from me
@@GhostPaprika PLEASE do this stuff is amazing!!
Yes! Everytime I just hear this song I think it would be an excellent theme song for a villain. The villain who doesn't try and overpower or kill the protagonist, but instead tries to manipulate, con, trick and outright deceive them into doing his bidding. giving them exactly what they want, but not what they need, so that he can have what he wants.
"I am not a monster. Not some storybook villain. I am the God of Secrets and Death.
What would you be lord of, then?"
Great animation.
This animation is so cool. I see and imagine the scene playing out. It feels like one of those moments that you remember in a campaign for a long long time.
thank you! I really put my heart into this one and I'm glad that feeling of the moment shines through ^_^
Bruh I cant explain how many times ive watched this i just love the art and how you draw Vecna and show how hes someone who tempts people to give in to him for their desires. Love the animatic
OMG ;w; thank you so much, that means a lot! I'm really glad you liked the video (since i poured my heart into it for a whole month lmao) I'm giong to try to make some more videos soon.
3 years later and this still gives me shivers at how good it is
It was over 2 months of labor drawing, coloring, and shading every scene, I'm very happy people are still enjoying it 🥰
Bruh vecnas design in this is so cool. Never was a huge fan of any of his other designs weather it be critical role or the recent redesign. But this animation depicts him as sort of a lovecraftian, spectral wraith instead of funny stranger things skeleton.
I'm so glad you like him! Yes he is a BEEG skeleton enshrouded in darkness, cuz I mean, it doesn't make sense for a god's true form to be human sized IMO. I am also not a fan of the stranger things shiveled zombie skeleton man :')
@@GhostPaprika, yea, I can look past stranger things cuz it isnt vecna, it's just what they call him, but it's shame thats what immortalises him.
Oh god this is incredible!!!!! I adore your portrayal of vecna here
You choose such a great song. I always saw this song as a fallen angel trying to convince someone to join their corrupted cause.
You’re video here can tell such a story just from the song and how all the characters act. You can get such a feeling from the warlock in just a few minutes
The line "all you need is what you want" especially fits
Man this reminds of me of the BBEG in my campaign that I ran for my siblings. He was the older twin of the NPC that was their mentor who struggled with a spirit who basically turned him into a flesh hungry rabid beast when he used magic (he was a druid and their source of transportation for the first third of the campaign until the druid PC got transport via plants) or when he got angry. When the BBEG took the PCs captive, the NPC unleashed the beast and attacked his brother who had the Hand and Eye of Vecna and he started using Wish, trying to stop his brother. He finally managed to say "I wish this being would be stunned so I can take it to my home" and quickly left. Every high level greater restoration and wish had failed, because the NPC had wished for the beast to never be taken from him. The PCs found the NPC's wish to have control over the beast and had another caster use wish for their NPC friend. The NPC defeated the BBEG by cutting off the hand and stunning him to gouge out the eye, then revivified him so he could atone.
That at is fantastic and that's one hell of a scene. The player did this?
Hi Kilian, yes! :) Hess (the tiefling in the short) is a player character and this was his sendoff (going from PC to villain NPC as the player got busy with school). But yes he really did betray our party after we defeated a lich and chose to take Vecna's deal.
Criminally underrated animatic. Love it!
This is really good! I got some real chills watching this, the character and vecna really made me interested. I'm curious to see more~
This is really well done. I hope it gets more exposure : )
And seeing how this randomly popped up in my recommended, maybe the algorithm agrees..
LOL, that certainly is a good sign! glad you enjoyed :)
This is So Cool!!! Beautiful composition and the minute I saw the hand I was like “Ooooooh hand of Vecna??” Lol I play a Bard who recently took the hand of Vecna to try and save his brother...he has failed both wisdom saves after using it twice and is slowly shifting from Lawful Good to Neutral Evil...and he’s the party’s main healer 🤣🤣🤣
At least its more heroic than what one of my players' bards did with the hand...In front of vecna.
This is beautiful. The song choice is perfect, the emotions are tangible, and your art is incredible. Thank you for putting this into the world
Just saw this for the first time and Nice job!!! 👌👌👌
Ah les friction, I see you are one of culture as well.
i want to know more about your campaign!! forget streaming media, just give me narrated dnd sessions of other play groups and i'll be satisfied for eternity!!!! i don't understand the trope of people "not caring" about other peoples' campaigns, i LOVE reading about them and recently stumbled upon the concept of animatics and its really soooooo awesome. thank you for sharing!
ahhh thank you ;w; im so glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on making longer format storytimes in the near future :)
@@GhostPaprika ill be subscribing so i can keep an eye out!!!!!!
Very cool animation, scene and choice of song. I'd like to know more of this dnd "playthrough"
I’m sorry I shouldn’t have laughed
But what if like, the hand was too small? And then it’d look like that one scene where Deadpool has to grow his hand back and it’s like a baby hand.
I’m thinking of the image rn and am low key laughing at like 4 am
better idea: the hand's too big, and you just see this sickly looking halfling with a hand so big they're about ready to bitch slap the raven queen.
Hell yeah "Your world will fail" great song
God,,,, this is so cool. I dont have the words to express how into this i am
You just won yourself a sub. Keep going this shit is great.
The hand of vecna
This is an amazing video. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍
Holy shit!!! What happened next? Also I know for a fact what if this happened in my party I legit wouldn’t even be able to speak to that player for at least a couple days
The player was leaving the party to focus on school, LMAO! So it wasn't too much trouble. Lots happened after but basically he disappeared right after he got the hand and left the party
Ofc he's a warlock
Vecna......
Ooooh spoopy😃
good vid
COOL VIDEO MUCH WOW HOPE IT BE GOOD ONE SORRY CAPS LOCK AND I AM LAZY
bruh
Where did you get this music from?
I'm sorry I have a complex backstory
I'm curious, is the human form the actual past appearance of this Vecna, or just a made-up disguise?
I asked my DM just to make sure and he says yes! That was his human form from when he was mortal :)
@@GhostPaprika I also like how Vecna is channeling his inner Satan. Handsome appearance, tempting others into evil... xD
yes he is very much a tempter in our games. Sometimes he's more effective than others ;p
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT FUCKK
