digital hips-up portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a young-looking drow with lavender skin, light violet eyes, and shoulder-length white wavy hair, the bangs artfully pulled back. he is dressed in layered dark robes: a cape with silver scale-like embroidery and short wide sleeves, a caftan-like jacket underneath with complex sleeves, a dark teal very high turtleneck peeking from underneath the open collar of the caftan, and a wide iridescent black sash sitting high on his waist, with a dark teal ribbon tied over it in a large but simple knot. he is looking at the viewer with a confident expression and a barely-there smile, raising his right hand up to cast a spell that manifests as a small almost black orb. the painting is done using a limited palette, with blacks leaning towards wine red and brown, and lights in a variety of dusky mint green, beige and lavender.ALT

i have finally watched episode 94! welcome back hot boy 💜

y'all might know that i am a staunch supporter of short haired Essek, so when i learned about his new hairstyle i went mmmmm not sure about that! but it took me like. two and a half hours to change my mind. it’s cool to experiment with your appearance! the dude deserves some cute fancy curls, as a treat. also zmeess you’ve been growing out your hair from a buzz cut for years, now he’s just like you fr or whatever the kids say.

so yeah, i support you man, you go and dazzle everyone with your fabulous Xhorhassian looks

tip jar!

p.s. haven’t watched eps 95 and 96 yet, please no spoilers! \o/

four digital sketches of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, all of them depicting them kissing sweetly or with their faces close to each other, about to kiss. Caleb is portrayed as a freckled human with medium-length wavy hair and a beard, while Essek is a drow with curly hair, the length of which varies in each sketch from short to long, either let down or put up in a bun with a wooden stick.ALT

i have finally finished watching c3ep95! congratulations to Essek Thelyss for probably having this ☝ in his mind on repeat 24/7 /j

tip jar!

hello-eeveev:

a series of screenshots of Matt Mercer playing Essek. 1. he looks judgmental, 2. he grimaces, 3. he looks uncomfortable(?), 4. he has one elbow resting on the back of his chair, the other held in front of him, and he looks concerned, 4. he laughs, 5. he holds his hands out to mine magic, and he looks over his shoulder with a slight, smug grinALT

Matt had Essek make so many Faces last episode and I love them I love him 💜

@zmeess …. just sayin’…

working on an Essek expression sheet already don’t you worry 😏
