digital fanart of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role in the form of a sketchy comic panel. they are lying in bed facing each other, wearing comfortable sleeping shirts, their hair messy. Caleb says, "Dear, if we scry on Ludinus ten more times we're bound to catch him somewhere where there are unique landmarks, and then we can teleport—", and Essek, with an exhausted and unimpressed expression on, responds, "Caleb, it's 4 am, please go to sleep."ALT

happy critrole finale everyone

happy belated v-day!

been a bit too busy traveling to finish or even start my shadowgast v-day painting, but hoping to have some fun with it in the next few days. in the meantime, have a little cozy v-day shadowgast plushie picture to celebrate the occasion 💜🧡

a photograph of hand-sewn plushies of Essek and Caleb, who are characters from Critical Role. they have taller chibi proportions and are made of short plush (Essek is lavender and Caleb is peach), with yarn hair (off-white and dark auburn respectively) and cute embroidered faces—Essek has a small smile on, while Caleb's is a bit wider and crooked. Caleb is wearing a cream-colored shirt and terracotta slacks, with a soft tasseled knitted scarf around his neck in shades of white and grayish green. Essek is dressed in comfortable gray pants and a big sweater made of the same yarn as Caleb's scarf. they're sitting next to each other in a darkly stained wooden box that serves as their bed, with a linen mattress and small pillows behind them. in Essek's lap, there is a prismatic d12 die, and Caleb has a pair of round glasses tucked into the neckline of his shirt.ALT

these are entirely hand-sewn, with moving legs, arms, and heads, and are based on my chibi shadowgast designs. i drafted the patterns myself and god knows it’s been a Journey 😂 but it’s been super fun too! this is an on-going project i’ve been working on since last summer or spring i think, and if the universe is kind to me i will finish their winter outfits before the snow melts away entirely so i can take some nice Aeor-flavored pictures.

an erotic digital painting featuring two characters from Critical Role, Essek and Caleb. Essek is depicted as a slender lavender-skinned drow with pinned back shoulder-length wavy white hair, while Caleb is a light-skinned human with auburn hair that doesn't quite reach his shoulders, is slightly messy and swept back. the camera is looking down at the couple, Essek sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning back on one arm, and Caleb on his knees in front of him. Essek is almost entirely naked; there is a necklace with an eye-shaped pendant resting between his small breasts and a long chocolate brown silk robe that is pooling behind and around him, having slipped off his shoulders and covering only his forearms. he is wearing glossy, almost transparent glass slippers on his feet; one of his feet is on the ground between Caleb's outer thigh and hand, while the other is resting comfortably on Caleb's shoulder, the knee bent and drawn upwards. Caleb's face is turned entirely away from the camera, the direction of his gaze parallel with the viewer's. he is sitting placidly in front of Essek; his wide thin back with prominent shoulder blades and dense freckles is slightly bent, one of his hands hovering close to the ankle of the foot Essek has on his shoulder. his facial expression is not visible, but Essek is watching him with hooded eyes and a slightly crooked, pleased smile, with a deep dimple in one of his cheeks. the painting employs a limited palette of rich browns and wine reds, and the couple is lit with a cooler blue glow from one side, and a warmer red from the other.ALT

so you might remember that a few weeks ago i ran a poll on what kind of v-day shadowgast picture i should do; naturally ‘smutty’ won by a large margin, and i thought you know what, i’d gotten a healthy chuckle out of one of the players joking about Essek wearing glass slippers under his cloak back in c2, so i might as well create something out of that. so i did. happy belated valentine’s day friends
