zmeess:

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'.ALT
