i just wanted to do a little study of Wick's and Yanessa's features over the weekend (totally headcanon that they basically have the same face), and then it spiraled out of control #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #Araman

a commission for @tuskteefs.bsky.social, who requested a full-render front view of Essek's outfit from a shadowbren drawing of mine, as a two-year anniversary gift and cosplay reference for @birdverbatim.bsky.social! happy anniversary, and thank you for commissioning me! #criticalrolefanart

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, styled like character concept art and depicting him wearing two outfits. he looks the same in both depictions: as a slender young-looking drow with lavender skin and short white wavy hair, standing and propping a book against his side.

the first outfit consists of a close-fitting teal shirt, with elaborate voluminous sleeves ending in bracer-like cuffs, a high collar, and ginkgo leaves embroidered in brown thread; tight dark-brown leggings made of reflective fabric, and grayish-green boots with lacing in the back and metallic tips.

the second picture depicts a few outer layers worn over the first outfit. there is a sleeveless long brown coat visible in the opening of his cloak, worn with a wide layered sash sitting high on his waist. the cloak itself is a dark purple, edges decorated with fur, with arm openings in the sides. over the cloak, he is wearing an armor-like decorative shoulder and chest piece, iridescent white in color.

My half of our art trade with the amazing @zmeess.bsky.social where we drew each others Essek designs in our own styles. I've been in love with this Aeor outfit since forever so I feel honored I got to draw it ♡

this one is very recent, but i never dedicated a separate post to it on bluesky & i still love it so it's gonna be part of my #repostober 💜 #criticalrolefanart #essekthelyss #verinthelyss

digital fanart of Essek and Verin Thelyss from Critical Role. both of them are drow with white hair and light purple skin; Essek has short wavy hair with the bangs swept to one side, and Verin's longer hair is braided into two french braids. they're sitting in armchairs pushed close together, presumably at a formal party, with Verin leaning over to Essek, shielding his mouth with his hand and whispering something to his brother with a smile. his posing is very laid-back, with his left ankle resting on his right knee, and he's holding a stemless wine glass in his left hand, propping it against his leg. Essek is sitting with his legs crossed, looking at something off in the distance and hiding a small smirk behind his wine glass. both of them are dressed in fancy dark layered outfits. the picture employs a limited palette of various shades of brown, purple, red, teal and lemon yellow.

i know Essek had about five seconds of screen time in ep98, but i am more powerful than the fact that my favorite purple wizard is just a background npc. so i've done more Essek expression studies #criticalrole #criticalrolespoilers #criticalrolefanart #essekthelyss

a collection of expression studies of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, who is depicted as a young-looking drow with shoulder-length wavy hair, wearing a heavy cloak with a large fur collar.

1. Essek casting Gravity Fissure with an intense face.
2. Essek fidgeting nervously with his hands in front of his chest, saying "Anxiety gets to you."
3. Essek wearing an annoyed expression, mouth flat and eyes staring into mid distance, as if trying to compose himself; next to him, a speech bubble says "I don't need an explanation, it's cool".
4. Essek looking up with a wide-eyed expression, stammering, "Hello".
5. Essek turned to the side, his expression befuddled; his arms are bent with the palms open and up, as if awaiting direction.
6. Essek with his hands raised, the index fingers pointing up in a 'hold on' gesture.
7. Essek with an exasperated face on, saying "The blue boy is a show-off, isn't he", to which an off-screen Ashton replies "Oh yes". Essek responds "I respect that."

episode 96 Essek expression studies! one sheet was not enough, the hot boy is too expressive #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolespoilers #essekthelyss

several digital sketches of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, who is depicted as a young-looking drow with artfully pinned back wavy hair.

1. Essek pulling one side of his sleep mask up with a greatly annoyed pout on his face.
2. Essek pointing with his index finger, looking down with a frustrated expression.
3. Essek wearing his sleep mask with his head thrown back, as if resting, though what is visible of his face looks very displeased.
4. Essek smiling graciously in the middle of talking, eyes closed.
5. Essek with a frown on his face, squeezing his eyes shut as if bracing himself for something.
6. Essek delicately nibbling on a piece of meat held between the index finger and the thumb of his left hand; he looks rather miffed.
7. Essek leaning forward, his eyebrows raised sarcastically.
8. Essek looking up with a pensive expression.
9. Essek looking to the side, his expression suspicious and alarmed.
10. Essek dramatically casting a spell, arms crossed in front of him.

The final #art from the Mighty Nein set (for now) is fittingly from c2e141—and I swear that was unintentional. I don’t think I stopped crying the whole t-dock scene. And I believe Caleb is in shadow (heh) while Essek talks coz I couldn’t get his profile to look right 😂 😭 #CriticalRoleFanArt

A faux screencap-style artwork of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role. Caleb is in the foreground in heavy shadow while Essek is in sharp focus in the back. Essek’s mouth is open as he speaks. The subtitles read ‘What will you do, Caleb Widogast?’

i've been slacking on #repostober recently but i'm doing one today, this time on my spicy bsky to liven it up a little bit. i'm pretty sure this was my very first spicy shadowgast picture, and even though it's super tame i'm still very happy with how it turned out #shadowgast

you've probably seen me ramble about my hc that drow have dark purple/black blood, and i love that hc so much that i always wanted to incorporate it into my art somehow. and well. naturally you gotta do that by turning towards some trusted wizard tropes and letting Essek show some tongue #shadowgast
