*** COA IN HAND — FOR SALE / OPEN TO OFFERS ***
Presenting an absolute titan of modern pop-culture history: the original, hand-drawn pen-and-ink marquee artwork by comic superstar Matteo Scalera (Black Science, Batman, White Knight) for Critical Role's legendary Campaign 1 (Vox Machina).
This is the definitive, marquee image of the entire first campaign. It was globally published as the official front cover art for "The Chronicles of Exandria Vol. I" art book. It was also used as the original line art for the iconic, massive 24" x 36" "Vox Machina Art Print" (colorized by Moreno Dinisio) released during Critical Role's historic January/February 2019 timed open pre-order event. The highly coveted cast-signed premium versions from this window remain legendary among dedicated "Critter" collectors.
The artwork features a breathtaking, complete ensemble composition of the Vox Machina crew—including Percy de Rolo, Vex'ahlia, Vax'ildan, Keyleth, Grog Strongjaw, Scanlan Shorthalt, and Pike Trickfoot—positioned beneath the ominous, looming shadow of Briarwood's Sigil/The Whispered One. Scalera’s signature dynamic line work, hyper-detailed ink washes, and kinetic pacing are at their absolute peak here.
PRODUCTION DETAILS, FORMAT & DIMENSIONS:
True to professional comic book production standards for massive, large-scale cover layouts, this masterpiece is physically rendered as a VERTICAL DOUBLE SPLASH across TWO separate 11" x 17" Bristol boards.
When aligned vertically, the total unified artwork measures a commanding 17" wide by 22" tall. Collectors will appreciate seeing the authentic production blue lines, crop parameters, and the raw process seam where the two original production pages join. This is a massive, high-impact "Wall Power" display piece.
