digital fanart of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, styled like a painted couple's portrait. Essek is depicted as a slender drow with lavender skin and soft curly white hair that reaches just past his chin, while Caleb is a light-skinned bearded human of average build, with ginger hair that is brushed back and is straighter than Essek's, but is of a similar length. they're both wearing comfortable clothes. Caleb is dressed in beige trousers, a simple linen shirt with its collar open and the sleeves messily rolled up, exposing the regularly spaced long-healed scars on his forearms, and he has his underarm holsters on. Essek is wearing rather nondescript brown pants and shirt that look like lounge wear or sleep clothes, with a simple but elegant house robe over them, its split sleeves too showing his naked forearms. Essek is sitting down on a chair, while Caleb stands behind him and slightly to Essek's right. Caleb's left hand is resting on Essek's left shoulder, his right hand in his pocket, while Essek's right hand is folded neatly on the thigh of one of his crossed legs, and his left is reaching up and touching Caleb's hand on his shoulder with the tips of his fingers. they are both relaxed and smiling gently in a slightly shaded room painted in tones of brown. next to Essek there is an edge of a table with two books stacked on it, and behind them is an open window, showing soft blue and pink sky, the sun lighting the edges of their shoulders and hair with bright golden highlights.ALT

reblogging once more cause i have again been thinking about the fact that these losers have a literal, physical couple’s portrait in their house. at some point they must have sat down and Essek said dear i want to look at our nerd faces smiling happily next to each other every day, and a mirror is not enough, so i would like to commission an artist to paint us like a proper married couple. we will sit here for hours while Jester flings dick jokes at us, and paint at our walls. some time in the future i want a random guest in our house to point at this painting and ask what the fuck is that so i can nonchalantly and offhandedly respond ‘oh, that’s my partner’. i think that specifically would be really romantic
