A screenshot style-fan art of Critical Role characters Julien and Azune talking, in a scene from campaign 4 episode 5. They are speaking off to the side in a dimly-lit area in front of a masonry and plaster wall. Both are standing with their arms crossed: Julien's posture and expression are fully defensive and angry, while Azune's is slightly more open but direct. The subtitles/caption, of Azune's dialogue, reads, "So are you just reckless, or do you have a death wish?".

A painting/drawing fan art of Julien Davinos from Critical Role, and the NPC Aranessa Royce. The piece is themed after episode 3 of the campaign, where Houses Royce and Davinos were attacked at Palazzo Davinos. Julien is kneeling before Aranessa as in many classical or historical or masters paintings of knights and women. However, instead of kneeling in fealty he is grasping his face in shock and grief. Both are spattered with blood. The setting is a dark palace courtyard with blood on the cobblestones. The overlay of the image is a cracked mirror in the wall of the palace courtyard, with the scene viewed through the cracked glass.
The meme of the sad cat thumbs up, with some whitespace so that it's not huge on the dashboard
