two wintery wizards commissioned by @aravhy as a gift for their friends! they requested Essek admiring the first snowflakes, and Caleb admiring Essek : ) i thought that that prompt was the sweetest thing in existence and was incredibly excited to put it on canvas 🥰 thank you for commissioning me!

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a purple-skinned drow with short curly white hair, wearing dark and warm clothes, slightly worn and stained in places: a wrap-around shirt with a white turtleneck collar peaking from beneath it, wide pleated striped ombré pants, a wide leather belt with various pouches hanging off of it, lace-up boots and a cloak with a fur collar and geometric pattern on it. he is standing on a snow-covered road facing the viewer, one hand holding the edge of his cloak, the other raised in front of his stomach in an uncertain gesture; he is looking at something off-screen in front of him with wide and stunned hopeful eyes. behind him, a lightly sketched market fades into unimportance below a bright periwinkle sky, and he is lit from the side by pinky-orange rays of the rising sun.

commission for piratethextine, an illustration for the second (upcoming!) part of her shadowgast fanfiction On Gravity and Time!

i really enjoy conveying stories in my art, and this was an absolute treat of a commission because i got to illustrate that magical moment of seeing a person you love for the first time in a very long time : ) thank you for commissioning me 💜🧡

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with light purple skin and short white curly hair, wearing a soft cape wrapped around his shoulders, a dark tunic, a teal shirt with decorative bracers, similarly colored pants and short lace-up boots; Caleb is a light-skinned human with a beard and long red hair brushed back into a ponytail, dressed in a simple white shirt, brown trousers and tall leather boots. they're sitting on a blanket-covered log in front of a campfire that is just out of frame; Caleb is petting a very happy-looking Frumpkin, who has taken the form of a fluffy ginger cat and is sitting on his lap, and Essek is leaning his head on Caleb's shoulder, holding an earthenware mug in his hands. Caleb's mug is on the ground, and behind them, there are trees and a dark blue-purple starry sky.

everyone's favorite wizards commissioned by @that-wee-munchkin! they requested Caleb and Essek finally getting outside and enjoying some whisky hot chocolate at a campfire 🔥 a cozy early autumn night spent sharing stories and petting Frumpkins 🐱

thank you so much for commissioning me and giving me the sweetest prompt imaginable!

digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. they are depicted in the salon of Caleb's tower, lit by a fireplace somewhere off screen and a few floating balls of amber light above them. in the foreground, there is a piece of a spiral staircase visible, and just behind it a small potted apple tree; in the background there are bookshelves and a window showing a dusky teal sky. Caleb is sitting on a sofa, curled in on himself, with his head in his hands; he is wearing some of his Aeor gear: his stormrider boots, dark pants and a thin black sweater, as if he's taken off the outer layers. Essek is standing next to him, dressed in all white, with a little bit of dirt staining his boots and the bottom of his tunic; one of his hands is hovering hesitantly over Caleb's head. Caleb's underarm holster is lying on a low table in front of him; next to it, there are two books, one closed and one open, and a little piece of amber on a dark leather cord.

as much as it hurt me, i don't want to change a thing

trying to draw while watching the new hbomberguy vid was a bad idea because for the entire second half i was like this

fun fact about me: crit recap animated Essek is one of my favorite official Essek designs. it's ridiculous but i LOVE that little guy; i feel like it did a great job of conveying his character in a silly exaggerated manner and i adore his <:} face with cheekbones i could only dream of

i've wanted to draw that design in my style for a while, and i think at first i wanted to, like. approach the whole deal seriously, but it resulted in me slowly chipping away at this drawing for WAY too long when it should have been a one hour doodle at most, so today i opened it again and decided to embrace the whimsy after a few superficial touch-ups. behold ⬇️

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a drow with dusky purple skin and short white wavy hair, wearing black and purple layered robes. he is standing with his right hand on his hip and his left up at chest level in a theatrical gesture. he has a pleasant smile on and is saying 'I'm going to be watching over you from now on'.

digital fanart of Beauregard Lionett from Critical Role, standing in a dynamic pose, caught in the middle of swinging her bo staff. she is a brown-skinned woman with dark hair in a braided mohawk, wearing a dark blue sleeveless top that exposes her midriff, dark blue pants, a red sash around her hips, long fingerless gloves with wiry geometric bracers over them, and a light gray cloak that's whipping around her in the wind. she is lit by the light of the little red moon Ruidus; behind her there is a dark teal colored sky and clouds of a dust storm.

digital fanart of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, depicting him in the middle of casting a spell with a wide gesture of his hands; it looks like fiery red strings of a cat's cradle. he is a light-skinned man with dark auburn and gray wavy hair, and is wearing a dark leather duster, open in the front and revealing a book under his right arm and a number of various pouches; there is a purple scarf with a geometric pattern around his neck. he is lit by the red glow from his spell, and has the same dark teal sky and dust storm behind him.

listen, i enjoy campaign 3 but i know who my favorite daddies are :)

(click on the pictures to enlarge them for more details! 💜 they're supposed to be viewed side by side but they look really small on mobile)

i'd wanted to draw Beau and Caleb portraits ever since i'd watched the c3 episode they appeared in (which i did like two days after it aired) and i'd been hoping to finish them before the mighty nein one shot but hadn't been able to in time. however, i have now! i'm only halfway through the live show but i do know that these designs do not contradict the official stuff too much, so i thought i could post them. i was very happy to see the empire siblings appear in c3 when they did, and it was a lot of fun trying to convey the solstice spookiness that i liked so much about those two eps 👀🔴

a digital waist-up sketch of Bren from Critical Role, done in shades of orange. he has short hair swept to one side, a short beard and freckles; he is dressed in a simple shirt with an open collar and rolled up sleeves, and has leather underarm holsters on. he is sitting and leaning back with his outstretched left arm propped on a raised knee, loosely holding a piece of amber with a cord wrapped around it and dangling from his hand. he is looking somewhere off-screen with a tired expression. on his exposed forearm, there are regularly spaced horizontal scars with dark geometric maze-like tattoos linking them up.

i find scourger au's absolutely amazing in how one of their purposes is to simply satisfy the fandom's infinite horniness for evil-aligned wizards, and you know i had to get in on that shit too. i've actually wanted to draw adult Bren ever since i figured out my design for Caleb's scars, with the sole purpose of depicting him with the glyph chant tattoos, so here i am, like months later. anyway, i enjoy some very specific scourger!Bren brainworms and headcanons from time to time, and one of them is that he's absolutely just as sullen and gloomy as canon Caleb is

Hi.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
