On Critical Role[]
Ian Phillips began working with Critical Role at the beginning of Campaign Two, where he painted the miniatures for the Mighty Nein.[1] His work on the Nein miniatures was featured in every episode of Mini Primetime.[2] He later painted the miniatures for Essek Thelyss appearing in "The Streets of the Forgotten" (2x134) to "Fond Farewells" (2x141)[3] and the miniatures for Trent Ikithon, Astrid Becke, and Eadwulf Grieve appearing in "Fond Farewells" (2x141).[4]
Outside of the main campaigns, he painted miniatures for multiple one-shots, for both miniseries, and videos featuring the Uk'otoa board game.
