Description
This year's Voice Tribute for Black History Month goes to another legend in the field of voiceover; Kevin Michael Richardson. Known for his deep, booming voice, he has portrayed many a character in animation, video games, films, and even on-camera parts. Not sure why I went with the Stage theme for this illustration, as I don't recall if he did theater, but I think it worked out well enough.

NOTE: This illustration is the definitive version of the Tribute, but may be changed or updated in the future, depending on circumstances. The selection of characters is based on popular representation, but also personal gratification, either to the voice actor in question, or to myself. If any character you wanted to see represented here is not, I apologize, but this is just how I wanted to craft the picture. Please understand.
