zmeess:

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, styled like character concept art and depicting him wearing two outfits. he looks the same in both depictions: as a slender young-looking drow with lavender skin and short white wavy hair, standing and propping a book against his side. the first outfit consists of a close-fitting teal shirt reminiscent of a jerkin, with elaborate voluminous sleeves ending in bracer-like cuffs, a high collar, structured shoulders, and ginkgo leaves embroidered in brown thread; tight dark-brown leggings made of silky reflective fabric, and almost knee-high grayish-green boots with lacing in the back and shiny metallic tips. the second picture depicts a few outer layers worn over the first outfit. there is a sleeveless long brown caftan-like coat visible in the opening of his cloak, worn with a wide layered sash sitting high on his waist. the cloak itself is a dark purple, edges decorated with fur, with arm openings in the sides. over the cloak, he is wearing an armor-like decorative shoulder and chest piece, iridescent white in color, the short breast-plate evocative of a beetle's back, and the pauldrons having conch-like spikes curving away from his shoulders and behind his head.ALT

a commission for @mightaswellblowup, who requested a full-render front view of Essek’s outfit from this shadowbren drawing of mine, as a two-year anniversary gift and cosplay reference for @birdverbatimcosplay!

happy anniversary, and thank you for commissioning me, Tuskteefs!
