Digital painting depicting Black Sail's Captain Flint and Hal Gates, referencing the painting 'Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan'. Flint's eyes are wide open in horror as he cradles the dead body of Hal Gates sprawled on the floor of the captain's cabin.

Digital painting of Harry Du Bois from the video game Disco Elysium, lying on the floor of his kitchen against the cabinets in a drunken stupor. The kitchen is dark, with a strip of light from an open door partially illuminating his slumped figure.

can you do me a big favor and sign up for this pronoun labler @pronouns.adorable.mom I don't want to misgender folks when I reply to them at the same time I don't want to spend the time click random profile names to read a bio on if they have a pronoun listed.

everyone's favorite wizards commissioned by @jennie-munchkin.bsky.social! they requested Caleb and Essek finally getting outside and enjoying some whisky hot chocolate at a campfire 🔥 a cozy early autumn night spent sharing stories and petting Frumpkins 🐱 thank you for commissioning me! #shadowgast

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with light purple skin and short white curly hair, wearing a soft cape wrapped around his shoulders, a dark tunic, a teal shirt with decorative bracers, similarly colored pants and short lace-up boots; Caleb is a light-skinned human with a beard and long red hair brushed back into a ponytail, dressed in a simple white shirt, brown trousers and tall leather boots. they're sitting on a blanket-covered log in front of a campfire that is just out of frame; Caleb is petting a very happy-looking Frumpkin, who has taken the form of a fluffy ginger cat and is sitting on his lap, and Essek is leaning his head on Caleb's shoulder, holding an earthenware mug in his hands. Caleb's mug is on the ground, and behind them, there are trees and a dark blue-purple starry sky.
