digital two-panel comic illustrating an exchange between Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. it is drawn in a semi-realistic sketchy style; in the first panel, an off-camera Caleb inquires, "how high does this darkness rise?". Essek, looking up and to the side, as if recalling information, nonchalantly responds with "Oh, about a mile." in the second panel Caleb says, with an earnest and quietly awed expression, "that's fascinating", with 'fascinating' italicized to show the emphasis it was said with in-game.ALT

digital head shot sketch of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, a semi-realistic redraw of the animated series screen shot that was posted in the recent Entertainment Weekly article. the screenshot itself is pasted to the right of the sketch as a point of reference. Essek is depicted as a young-looking dark elf with short hair, with longer wavy bangs swept to one side. his pointy ears are decorated with ear caps, and he is looking intently at something in front of him and a bit down, with a tired but intrigued and analytical look.ALT

i had to sketch him real quick before bed or it would have been a no sleep kind of scenario for me
