realized i almost never draw caleb without his signature scruff, decided to quickly remedy that just for variety’s sake
+ not very serious bonus essek ‘i haven’t trusted anyone ever’ thelyss looking at that irresistible face (after a persuasion roll so middling and sad it made everyone in exandria cringe) and deciding to reveal his super duper secret magics to a person he’s just met
i hesitate to call this one shadowgast spice because it’s not sexual, but it does feature rope bondage so i thought that i should probably put it under a read more 💜 enjoy!
i’ve got a certain number of bondage/shibari-related shadowgast headcanons that are super fun to explore in my head, but to my constant disappointment i am not an experienced writer, so what you’re getting is less plot and more pictures of people being soft and in love. over and over and over again. which is also very good if i say so myself
(maybe a little bit plot)
anyway, Caleb’s freckles needed to be kissed yesterday
Yasha is convinced their cake is a half gooey half burnt mess because Essek was wearing gloves the entire time they were baking (alchemist habits) and due to that none of his love had transferred from his hands to the ingredients. also she wasn’t sure what baking powder is
(it was actually Essek fucking up the temperature. they did get all the ingredients right down to the gram though)
shout out to @ionomycin for making me think about Yasha and Essek baking cakes together, and @khalliys for giving me an absolutely hilarious mental image of Yasha making Essek wear her apron
a few people seem to be really enjoying my version of Yasha’s hair so i thought i could upload the picture where i first decided to draw it like that (coincidentally my first Yasha picture in general). i love Yasha with curly hair! this is a sketch i did for a kiss meme in 2021; one of the requests was BeauYasha + hand kiss and i was like HELL YEAH I WILL DRAW THE GIRLIES
it’s super duper simple and rough but i still think it’s very cute *chin hands*
you know how i’ve been mentioning an Essek expression sheet i’ve been working on for eight billion years? yeah i accidentally ended up finishing a Caleb one first. these are all either based on or directly referenced from actual in-game roleplay! early Caleb is delightful 😼 (more Caleb expression sketches to come at some point in the future)
this one had been part of the Caleb expression sheet (cause dry delivery is an intrinsic Caleb quality that i love) but it accidentally turned out stupid horny without my intention so i had to replace it with other Calebs for propriety’s sake. i’m uploading it outside of that sheet though for the sake of authentic dirt wizard representation
