when i asked y'all what paid zmeess art stuff you’d be most interested in smut was pretty much the most popular option (which i’d expected honestly, i know what we’re all about), but since i can’t post suggestive stuff on my donation/subscription page you are getting it here

non-explicit wizard spice under the cut! some nudity included though, be careful

wizard activities include but are not limited to conducting experiments on how far down your partner’s legs you can tug his pants if you’re kissing his stomach while being situated between his legs. you know. important academic stuff

(also y'all can still tip me over on boosty despite me not being able to post this kinda stuff on it 😉)

digital fanart of Essek and Verin Thelyss. both of them are drow with white hair and light purple skin; Essek has short wavy hair with the bangs swept to one side, and Verin's longer hair is braided into two french braids. they're sitting in armchairs pushed close together, presumably at a formal party, with Verin leaning over to Essek, shielding his mouth with his hand and whispering something to his brother with a smile. his posing is very laid-back, with his left ankle resting on his right knee, and he's holding a stemless wine glass in his left hand, propping it against his leg. Essek is sitting with his legs crossed, looking at something off in the distance and hiding a small smirk behind his wine glass.

both of them are dressed in fancy dark layered outfits. Essek is wearing a turtleneck, with the sleeves covered with black voluminous embroidered organza; his overshirt has long split sleeves with dull teal embroidered lining and is tied at his waist with a pale sash. he has a large collar/shoulder piece that looks like a fan of thin pearlescent petal-shaped plates with dark copper-red gilded edges. he's also wearing dark pants and high laced boots with metallic tips. his simple rings, bracelets and an ear cuff are all reddish in color. 
Verin is wearing a short coat, with split sleeves and another, tighter pair of embroidered silk sleeves underneath; the coat is tied at the waist with a wide layered purple sash. there are dark iridescent decorative pauldrons on his shoulders, reminiscent of seashells or insect carapaces in shape. he has dark pants and dark purple boots on; his jewelry (a pair of triangular bracelets on each arm, a braid ornament of the same shape, and a few small hoop earrings) is gold.

the picture employs a limited palette of various shades of brown, purple, red, teal and lemon yellow.ALT

Ladies, Germs, and assorted beloved Fruits, may I present the Zmeess robe, my secret sewing project of the last few months.

We all know I have a soft spot in my heart for the critical role character Essek Thelyss but alas, he never called for me to cosplay him.

The wonderful artist @zmeess draws him SO handsome and designs his clothing SO elegantly that the temptation to sew something grew and grew till instead of a cosplay, I simply had to make one of Zmeess’ wizard robes as a regular piece of clothing for me.

the artwork I fell in love with

Zmeess was EXTREMELY kind in giving me the go ahead to get sewing and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I did some edits of my own to make the jacket wearable and practical (adding a contrasting lining to the torso, keeping it tea length and shortening the sleeves a smidge, adding a few extra beads here and there).I can’t wait to find a day fancy enough to wear it out (the theater! or a nice elegant dinner! a wedding if the couple wont judge me) and once the local weather stops raining I plan to take a shoot outside with some different more natural styling and you can all see it from neck to ankle.

As a plus sized person its always nice to explore volume and purposeful obfuscation of shape when fashion dictates that we take up less room and look as thin as possible. Making myself a big elegant wizard robe that turns me into a mystery is extremely refreshing! As a cosplayer its kind of nice to do a reverse closet cosplay (instead of making a costume out of clothing I own, I am making fictional clothing to go in my regular closet with no costumes involved) and its something i could see myself doing more in the future.

If you are interested in how I made this I will be doing a full breakdown on instagram including the embroidery, pattern drafting/hacking, and all the fiddly details.

every single time i think about the fact that Beck made a whole damn ROBE based on my silly design i go apeshit. i’m terrible with words, just LOOK at it. look at how beautiful it is. i saw some progress pics and details and i am constantly star eyes emoji at the skill. also the lining is the sexiest teal-pink duochrome that is incredibly sophisticated and fancy and very Essek. go give Beck and her craft tons of love please
