zmeess:

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.ALT

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 💜🧡
