zmeess:

digital hips-up portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a young-looking drow with lavender skin, light violet eyes, and shoulder-length white wavy hair, the bangs artfully pulled back. he is dressed in layered dark robes: a cape with silver scale-like embroidery and short wide sleeves, a caftan-like jacket underneath with complex sleeves, a dark teal very high turtleneck peeking from underneath the open collar of the caftan, and a wide iridescent black sash sitting high on his waist, with a dark teal ribbon tied over it in a large but simple knot. he is looking at the viewer with a confident expression and a barely-there smile, raising his right hand up to cast a spell that manifests as a small almost black orb. the painting is done using a limited palette, with blacks leaning towards wine red and brown, and lights in a variety of dusky mint green, beige and lavender.ALT

i have finally watched episode 94! welcome back hot boy 💜

y'all might know that i am a staunch supporter of short haired Essek, so when i learned about his new hairstyle i went mmmmm not sure about that! but it took me like. two and a half hours to change my mind. it’s cool to experiment with your appearance! the dude deserves some cute fancy curls, as a treat. also zmeess you’ve been growing out your hair from a buzz cut for years, now he’s just like you fr or whatever the kids say.

so yeah, i support you man, you go and dazzle everyone with your fabulous Xhorhassian looks

tip jar!
