Vox Machina and Flamespeaker Cerkonos!
I haven't watched the episode so I missed the fact that VM is back until I saw a YouTube video with a spoiler title. But holy hell I didn't know Cerkonos is that HOT! ❤️🔥
Did Liam skip that section or did he play a character?
Liam was left out to symbolize Vax’s continued imprisonment. There was a joke made about Liam showing up alone as Vax. He comes in, sits down, and screams for a moment. Stand up and leaves, and the rest of the cast comes in.

Hi! GalacticJonah here, aka the guy who had the honour to draw the new Vox Machina art pieces. First for all, massive thanks to everyone who left nice comments!! I thought people might be interested in some behind the scenes and fun facts so here we go:
All designs were created by directly corresponding and working with the cast, which was both exciting and scary, lmao. In general that was the vibe of the whole thing because VM are legendary and critters are very passionate, so the pressure to get this right was high.
Some of the cast went with vibes and story, others with detailed references, but they put a lot of trust in me all the way and I was allowed quite a lot of freedom within the guidelines. I remember Kiki's design in particular because it was just right from the very start -- honestly the biggest thrill for anyone who has ever designed for a client before!!
The designs pull from many places, so some things are based on pre-existing designs. Legally though they were not allowed to be too similar/copying any Legend of Vox Machina stuff - so that is why some things are very different (see Cerkonos).
Some more fun bits about the process:
And that's all I can think of. Thank you all for liking these ❤️
