digital fanart of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss from critical role, cropped to only show their hands. Caleb's hand is drawn palm up, with nine imperfect white pearls lying in the center of it; Essek's left hand is cupping Caleb's from below, and his right is curled at the edge of Caleb's palm, as if he's just poured the pearls into his hand. 
the painting employs a limited palette of shades of teal, purple, and orange.ALT

for how much Caleb has changed Essek, i can never stop thinking about how much Essek has changed Caleb. Caleb looked at Essek and thought, this is a man whose knowledge i might be able to use to change my past. but when Caleb convinces him to share that knowledge, the first thing Essek teaches him is how to control his future

tip jar

obligatory reblog for Caleb ‘spell mastery of fortune’s favor’ Widogast. this man really took 'i will carry a picture of my husband in my wallet at all times’ to a new level

listen, this silliness was bound to happen after the echoes of the solstice show. you can find the full thing on my bluesky and cohost (minor spoilers mentioned), and i’m still tippable here 😌

digital sketch of Essek and Bren from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with short curly hair, dressed in leggings, a form-fitting shirt with voluminous sleeves and an elaborate armor-like piece that resembles a beetle's carapace resting on his shoulders. Bren is a human with short messy hair and a beard; he is wearing simple pants and a loose shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his forearms and the maze-like tattoos on them. Bren is sitting in a chair, leaning back with his knees spread and his hands resting palms-up on his thighs. he's looking up at Essek with hooded eyes; Essek is standing in front of him with his back to the viewer, with one of his legs bent and the knee propped on the seat between Bren's thighs. his posture is relaxed, one hip cocked and his arms at his sides.ALT

since i got stuck in the scourger!Bren headspace it kinda resulted in me drawing some shadowgast featuring that lad. naturally it turned out somewhat horny. also i know a few of you said SHADOWGAST in response to my Bren sketch, and i’m always happy to be of service

random notes: i don’t particularly picture Essek ever wearing conventional lingerie, but i have in fact thought of what kind of clothes he could wear to add some spice, and you know what? it always ends up being some sort of almost or full neck-to-toe coverage with stupidly tight pants. i’m embracing it. anyway, this silly drawing also features another Essek mantle design i’ve been rolling around in my head (i’m always on my ‘drow are bug elves’ bullshit), wanna use it in a full-render piece soon

tip jar!
