i would watch and/or create a movie where that's the main character who goes on a quest as the wise mentor/parent figure for a wonderfully diverse group of less experienced characters, and they all have flaws that are worked on throughout the progression of the story. and with an amazing art style (or, like, a ton of art styles because that would be cool)

My husband got me your painting as a Mother’s Day gift and we are displaying it in our game room. Our D&D buddies are FLOORED by its beauty and some of them even “found themselves” in the painting. I can’t wait to delve into my coloring page over the summer ❤ Thank you for compiling your videos like this. I missed a large amount of them during your journey and this way I can enjoy them during work.

I dont want this to be cliche or sound stupid, but I do genuinely want to be like you when I grow up, having an entire room dedicated for art, and having SO much representation in that art. Your videos always inspire me to create :)

I totally agree, he's such an inspiration to me.
I love when you said “let your art be wonky - that’s what makes it art”. I was watching an urban sketching tutorial yesterday and was shocked when the artist said “yes, the building is leaning more than it is in real life, but I like it that way! I’ll leave it.” Sometimes what we think of as “mistakes” are just part of the art :)
As a physically disabled person and ambulatory wheelchair user, I teared up seeing you include a wheelchair user and that it wasn’t an afterthought. You put so much thought and care into the design of the wheelchair. I truly appreciate that you recognized a stranger touching someone’s wheelchair is not okay. Your instinct to be inclusive is so refreshing and is a big reason I adore you and your art🩷
I like to think that the (definetly not you) orc character is the very successfull owner of the tavern. He has that sort of smile that he is just happy to have made a welcoming space for everyone to meet up and make good memories.
I want to thank you. I gave up on art because I kept over thinking what I was trying to create and couldn't get what was going on the paper to perfectly match what was in my head. Your video was inspiring, you showed and talked about how art doesn't have to be perfect, if you keep going your art can turn out better than what you imagined. Now I want to try again, thanks to you, Scott. Watching your picture come to life was amazing. Thank you for sharing your art and wisdom.

He would be a great candidate for a new artist at ravensburger.
I love the elf. She’s so boujee and the way she carries herself, I reckon she would be a sorcerer.
I love how respectfull and inclusive you are with drawing representation of all kinds of people! Fantasy should reflect real life and people in real life are diverse and unique :)
I'm still not even half way through watching it and I just have to say, this, everything, is just so beautiful. I know a lot of others have probably said this, but you're a great source of inspiration that is getting me more into art and the real beauty of it. Everything you have said so far has really resonated with me and brought some sort of comfort as well. I'm glad I came to this video.

Wow, thank you!
My alone time to unwind at night is so important to me, tonight I just turned on this video cause I saw the short form content in bits and pieces and wanted to see the full through line(plus I love DnD so this was right up my alley), and I got the idea to draw alongside you and began inking a piece at the same time. I swear I’ve never felt so at peace. I love the insight you have on art, I love that it was virtually an art “play date” as you like to say, and I love the finished ink work on my character. Thanks for all that you do, you inspire me every day to be a better artist and human. 🖤🖤🖤
I love the thumbnail art for this. It’s amazing.

Love Disney Scott, the cartoon is instantly recognizable when my feed pops up and it's so cute it makes me smile. Well done!
I had this idea that the tortle, grandmother-like character is the owner of the tavern, or is the parent of the owner of the tavern. Who hands out snacks to the kids that pass by. I saw another comment in which the person thought that the orc, that definitely isn’t Scott, was the tavern’s owner, so maybe he’s the tortle’s adoptive son, or something- This is just an idea or suggestion! I love your art, and this work, and just your whole vibe- or feel, Scott. You’re a huge inspiration to me, as a small artist, and I love your level of inclusiveness!
As a therian, your explanation was beautiful. It's simple but perfect. We don't think we're animals, apart of us is just so deeply connected that it's like our soul is that of one. You, Scott, are a lovely person.

@@Myer2011 Heres my explanation of therianthropy (at least how i experience it) Therians feel a non physical connection and identity to a specific species of animal or multiple speicies. This connection may by just physiological, or may be due to a past life. Therians don’t think theyre physically animals, and are NOT the same thing as furries! Hope this helps!

I love seeing someone make art with all the nerdy stuff and cool references that I like. Never change Scott!
Yay! This is great to play in the background while I work! Missed a bunch of the shorts. Thanks Scott!
I have endless admiration for the beauty and wonder that is this painting, and the amazing work Scott put into it! I love all the detail and experience and the subtle interactions between the characters, I love how colorful the Guild is and how it looks like a big group photo and I love the diversity. But most of all I love all the little stories that are hidden in the painting, some maybe intentionally and some not. Like how the two human fighters are sitting with serious faces watching the dwarf, maybe wondering why he has his axe drawn. The shared glances between the centaur and the quiet one The tiefling smirking as they see the halfling and shifter goofing off How the knome and the pink haired elf woman look like they are giggling over an inside joke The kenku staring into nothingness dreaming about stabbing And how it looks like the fawn is a little weary or surprised by the enchantresses magic. Also I like to try to find the sweaters/cloaks that I think the old tortle made (I also like to think that she made the ear-defenders for the centaur)
As an artist that is constantly discuraged by speed paintings i see on the internet, it meens alot to me that you kept your preperation in the video and show the incredable amount of time that you put into this work to make it look as good as it does. Thank you so much
I’m not finished watching this yet but I just want to thank you so much for making this. I know you did this for you and not us but seeing the representation of so many different types of characters is amazing. Diversity is important and the inclusivity in this beautiful piece of art is incredible

6:45 Another good method is just having any scrap bit of cardboard to tape your works to, I usually use the backboards from empty paper pads, but only if you have A5 - A3 sized works, unlike Scott's usual larger ones
Hearing that you accept therians and even drew an interpretation of one of us in your drawing absolutely made my day thank you so much 💜
I love this so much! Some neices and nephews and I are looking to start our first DnD campaign together, so this is just awesome to see right now.
Thank you for making it one video! Its easier for me to see it all than in separate videos. I love this piece and you inspire me so much!
Aside from the gorgeous art, just the way you talk about people and art is so genuine and heartfelt its like an audible hug ❤
it was so calming to watch and hear this while i worked and studied. ive been having some very tough weeks and im going through a rough patch, but this brought me so much comfort i could forget about my troubled mind for a bit. it even inspired me to get back to my artistic hobbies. thank you so much mr scott. you are really a beam of light in this world
I really enjoyed watching this compiled video. Such a beautiful piece! It has really inspired me. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I want to thank you for the wonderful representation and the SUBTLES I have one working ear and it’s a giant help.😊

I don't comment on really any videos, and am not much into D&D, but I am disabled and the representation with the mage in the wheelchair and the autistic centaur? The thought put into the dragonborne having their hand on the wheelchair? Absolutely amazing. The whole artwork is stunning and I loved watching the process, but the part that captivated me the most was the representation and positivity. 🫶

This was an amazing video to have on the side while drawing digitally. I adore the diversity of the characters!! What I love about your videos is how you explain your process as if you are having a face-to-face conversation with the viewer, makes you feel the words you say if that makes sense, at least this is how i feel. Keep it up! :D
I love longer videos like this. Ironically, during this video I was working on my own dnd-based fantasy world and it really is nice to have something to watch while doing it. Keep up the good work!
It's such a great piece of art! I love how you reflected on each character for a while and brought them to life! I'm not really sure why but this picture really means something to me.
I love the way you refer to all the characters as they/them so they can be who they want, I love that!
i'm listening to this while i'm working on a comic for a friend, and honestly there's something about your positivity and showing your mistakes just really helps keep me going. You're amazing dude, cant wait to see what comes next :3
I love this painting its literally so good! Ive been doing art for 4 months and im rly happy with my art right now, and seeing where i might be able to reach with so many more years really gives me motivation to keep going!
Tell me why I cried multiple times during this video at all of the positive representation and kind words. Thank you for letting everyone see themselves in your work it really does matter!
I lovedd watching the guild lives :D it's sooo much fun following a big project like that! Turned out amazing! thank you
I LOVE THIS PAINTING!! Everything about it is amazing. I love the representation through all the characters, and I also love how each one feels like their own person, like they have lived lives before this painting. My favorite might be the goblin! I love how you created her with respect in mind, unlike a lot of other artists. Thank you, Scott for creating such amazing art and sharing it with the world!
YESSS I’ve been waiting for this. sitting down with a hot cuppa and watching this will be my hobby for the next 3 business days
You should totally do Mumford and sons as a painting! I love your art!
This idea is SO cool! This has inspired me to continue drawing my family’s dnd characters.
This is incredible, thank you so much for sharing your work process this way. One of my bff sent me this video to cheer me up since I'm not doing great at the moment, it worked beyond expectations. Thanks a lot, again !
Scott, I love your art, I love your attitude, just your whole vibe and I'm so glad you're creating such a beautiful, diverse safe space for everyone💛
youve really inspired me to try this type of drawing. I always drew things in pieces, never have i drawn characters interacting with eachother or even that many being close to each other, and the fact that you were able to, while explaining ur processes and thoughts, truly brought it a lot of inpiration that made me want to do the same. So I wanna attempt it aswell :) thank you.
Beautiful, this is stunning and so inspiring- I love the positivity and line art!! Awesomely done!💖 Today I found your long form videos and I’m binging ALL of them while I do my art journal for school 😆✨ thank you Scott!✨
This is such a wonderful project! Even though I was not at the live streams, I thoroughly enjoy this walkthrough of your progress. Love your art and your insights on making art! I’m inspired to keep growing my art too. Thanks, Scott!
This is so cool! I love the little Easter eggs and tiny details in each character
I really love your positivity, appreciation, and careful thought into diversity. You are such a pleasure to listen to, and the artwork seems to really represent you and these attitudes you have. Thank you for being you.
you are such a wonderful role model and mentor figure in the art world. it’s a breath of fresh air. much love! (absolutely WONDERFUL painting btw)
that piece is not only great looking art, but very inspiring story behind it. thank you for sharing this and all thoughts narrated in background!
i love watching your videos :) they’re always such a pick me up. your voice, the music and of course the art is just so calming to look at, sorta feels like being near a cozy fire :)
I just wanna say that I absolutely love your videos. Your art is beautiful and your voice is so clothing to listen to, it’s so calming and (idk if this sounds weird 😅 but) I’d often find myself falling asleep watching your videos, so thank you.

So gorgeous, compositing so many characters is a huge task, congrats
i love your line work, your use of line weight is so expert and it really makes the elements you want to focus on pop :)

I love your art it always inspires me! It would be amazing to see a character that identified demigirl (she/they) someday, it feels like we are under represented. I don't know how you could show that and ofc only if you feel inspired by that idea. Thank you for reminding me that making art is about having fun and that everyone makes mistakes
you make me want to practice, learn, and do more art ! so thank you !!!
You can tell he's a good person because of his instinct to be inclusive; he doesn't judge the DnD classes and talks about them based on personality, and talks about their appearances as how they are instead of treating topics like they're taboo
I don't know why, but this really reminds me of sitting at the TV watching episodes of a show in between 15 minutes of ads. And honestly, I'd sit at the TV to watch all the little sections of this video throughout the ad breaks!
This is absolutely beautiful and stunning and I love all these characters with there own characteristics (Would've loved to see a a warforged and firbolg but I digress)
The painting is beyond describable when it comes to it's beauty
