a digital hips-up portrait of a young-looking drow of average build, posing in profile but facing the viewer. he has almost black skin with blue-purple undertones, short white kinky hair in a mohawk style with shaved sides, long pointed ears and white eyes. he is wearing black leather armor with a hooded cloak; the lining of the hood is dark blue. he is saluting with his cup hilt rapier, holding it in front of his face, and has a black and red shield strapped to his left forearm, reminiscent of the carapace of a widow spider. the background is pale beige, and he is lit from behind with orange light.ALT

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 teleportโ€”", and Essek, with an exhausted and unimpressed expression on, responds, "Caleb, it's 4 am, please go to sleep."ALT

happy critrole finale everyone

digital painting of two characters posed in a couple's portrait, done in a painterly style with pronounced brush strokes.

a young-looking slim half-drow with dark purple skin, long goblin-like ears and long dark loose curls is sitting in profile in a chair with an organic design of leaves and tree branches, her hands and forearms translucent and shiny, as if made of glass. 

standing behind her is a slender drow with very light gray skin and long straight white hair with braids woven into it; he has golden kintsugi cracks going through the side of his face and his hands.

the half-drow is wearing a long dress with puffy sleeves and a fitted waist, her chest visible between the low sweetheart neckline and the high collar hugging her neck and flaring out into a pauldron-like shape on her shoulders. the color of her dress shifts from a very dark black-blue on top to a dark teal on the bottom in a seamless gradient. there are glass slippers on her feet.

the drow behind her is dressed in a layered iridescent white outfit resembling hanfu, with a wrap-around coat and a long cloak with a fur collar and red detailing.

there is a black parasol with a basket rapier hilt leaning against the chair, and a vague suggestion of naked tree branches decorating the background. the couple are looking at each other with small smiles on their faces.ALT

a digital painting of two dark elves embracing. both of them have slender athletic builds, dark gray skin with purple and blue undertones and white hair; they're wearing clothes in shades of blue, purple, teal and brown, with elements of light leather armor. one of them (Verin) is holding up the other (Cienryl), with one hand around one of her thighs and the other around her back. Cienryl is cupping the side of Verin's face, his pointed ear and a couple of locks of hair caught between her fingers, and they're gazing into each other's eyes; Verin with reverence and Cienryl with a pleased smile. the painting is done with wide pronounced brush strokes, and the figures are lit with pale almost twilight glow.ALT

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
