gnome who saw you across the bar and like the vibe of your cursed amulet #art #oc #bg3

A painting of Mayhew, a confident gnome with brown skin, curly dark hair, a goatee, and a devastating smolder. He's in a smoky bar, leaning against a table and smirking at someone off-screen like he's about to make their night. His white tank top is torn and has slipped down one shoulder, exposing part of his hairy chest. In his left hand, a lit cigarette dangles. The smoke catches the light behind him.

commission for @aceofbasedesires.bsky.social, who requested an illustration of one of the scenes in @violettressed.bsky.social's fic 'The Bone That Has No Marrow' (link in the replies)! #shadowgast

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, illustrating a scene from "The Bone That Has No Marrow", a fanfiction by ao3 user VioletTressed. Essek is a young-looking dark elf with pale grayish-purple skin, shoulder-length wavy white hair, and small pointed ears. he is wearing a dark purple outfit that consists of a long-sleeved fitted turtleneck, a tunic with geometric pleating and wide shoulders, and dark leggings. Caleb is a human in his early forties, with light freckled skin and dark auburn chin-length hair and beard with streaks of white in them. he is dressed in a white collared shirt, the rest of his torso hidden under a blanket.
Essek is sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor against the side of a bed. there is a pillow in his lap, and Caleb's head is resting on it. one of Essek's palms is resting against Caleb's chest, while the other hand is hovering over Caleb's hair, just shy of touching. Essek's head is bent down, watching the sleeping Caleb with a tired and conflicted expression.
on top of the soft cheerful quilt on the bed behind them, there is a rigid supine figure covered with a white sheet. the night scene is illuminated by the gentle orange-yellow shine of a crystal set on a nearby nightstand, as well as a much more muted glow of luminescent tree fungi growing on one of the wooden beams supporting the wall. the shelves above the bed are full of various knick-knacks and containers, bunches of drying flowers suspended from the ceiling. a round window just above the bed overlooks some treetops and a slightly clouded grayish night sky.

The Archmage Demodus Blix and his Noble, Faithful, Extremely Real companion Figment #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

A Black gnomish man, Demodus Blix, summons his cheery chameleon familiar named Figment. Demodus is just as cheerful - he wears a cheeky grin to go with his star-patterned chest binder and jaunty head scarf. His curly hair peaks out of the front and top of the tall head wrap, a little bit like an ice cream cone turned upside down. He has a stubbly chin, courtesy of Dol-Makjar's cheapest and most affordable beard-grow potions.

A digital painting of Gale Dekarios from Baldur's Gate 3. He's kneeling and looking up, though the image is cropped so that you can only see the lower half of his face. He has light skin, brown hair, and a beard. At the base of his neck is a strong glow from a magical mark on his skin; the glow branches out into veins that climb up his face. An unseen person with dark skin is touching the glow on his throat. The overall vibe is of something magical, sensual, and a little voyeuristic.

oh ms. murray, you are so fascinating and i want to know more about you #art #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #MurrayMag'nesson

A sketchy painting of the female dwarf wizard Murray Mag'nesson from Critical Role. Murray is casting a glowing spell. We see her from below: her long wave hair whipping with the power of her magic, the rings of light emanating from her hands, the glow reflecting on her braided beard and her broad-brimmed hat. She's smiling confidently at something off in the distance. She is in black and white, but the background behind her is picked out in rich oranges and magentas, and it looks a little bit like she is on stage.

We see the couple from over Mayhew's shoulder, reflected in a mirror. In the quoted image, Mayhew has been looking in the mirror and seeing himself as a monster. In this image, we see that he is also very loved, just as he is.

A screenshot of an art program. The canvas has scribbles in various colors from a brush test, but in the upper right corner, there is a realistic painting of a male gnome. He has brown skin, darker brown curly hair, pointed ears, and a goatee. He's smiling slightly and looking somewhere off camera. A green light illuminates him from somewhere behind the viewer's right shoulder.

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast

digital fan art of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, at Jester and Fjord's wedding, sitting on a bench and kissing.
Essek is a young-looking slender dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is artfully curled and pinned back. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his early forties, with auburn chin-length wavy hair and a full beard.
they are both dressed in formal clothing, cream and light pink to match the colors Jester had picked for her wedding. Essek is wearing a silk shirt with bishop sleeves and a straight neckline that exposes his neck and a wide pearl choker; he also has slacks on, short enough to reveal his boots with metal toe-tips, as well as a coat made of thick matte fabric, with wide geometric shoulders and layered hanging sleeves. it is caught at the waist with a wide sash, the coat's two floral frog closures open. Caleb is dressed in form-fitting pants tucked into white boots, a leather strap around one of his thighs. he has a long-sleeved shirt on under a light pink sleeveless coat made of delicate floral brocade. there is a large white flower tucked behind his ear. both of them are wearing a bit of make-up: Essek has white lipstick on his bottom lip, and Caleb's eyes are accentuated with fiery red eyeshadow.
they are sitting on a bench outside, leaning into each other, Essek placing a kiss on the corner of Caleb's mouth. Essek's left hand is guiding Caleb's chin towards him with a delicate finger, while his right is resting in Caleb's left. there is a flowering branch above them, soft pink petals lying on the white cobbled stones beneath their feet. the ocean is visible behind them, the setting sun shining right behind the couple's heads, illuminating them in warm orange glow.

one day, after all your choices, you look in the mirror and realize you no longer have your father's eyes #bg3 #art #oc (my gnome tav, mayhew!)

A painting of a curly-haired male gnome looking into a mirror with despair. One of his eyes is a glowing glass eye, and the other eye is ink-dark and monstrous. Dark veins snake out from his monstrous eye, like a corruption that's slowly spreading. He is touching his face as if seeing it for the first time and realizing the depths to which he has sunk - and that there's no going back. The lighting is moody, dark, and cool-toned.

continuing the backfill of old art over here, have a #shadowgast leyendecker kiss 🧡💜 #criticalrolefanart #art

A digital painting of two people kissing. Caleb Widogast, a white man with red hair, is embraced by Essek Thelyss, a dark-skinned elf with white hair. One of Essek's arms curls around Caleb's back, holding him close. The other holds Caleb's hand to his heart. Essek leans his head down to kiss Caleb tenderly. In return, Caleb melts into Essek's embrace; he tilts his face up and kisses Essek back with a small smile on his lips.

Essek is dressed in rich, embroidered clothing. Caleb wears a simple, dark coat, and a pale scarf. In the background around the two of them, there are faded paintings of decorations and spell components: an hourglass, a clock, pearls, ribbon, a platinum thread.

The one at the bottom depicts a scene much later in time, of Essek kissing a elderly Caleb, with white hair braided with colorful flowers, on his forehead - presumibly on his deathbed.

digital head shot sketch of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, a semi-realistic redraw of the animated series screen shot that was posted in the recent Entertainment Weekly article. the screenshot itself is pasted to the right of the sketch as a point of reference. Essek is depicted as a young-looking dark elf with short hair, with longer wavy bangs swept to one side. his pointy ears are decorated with ear caps, and he is looking intently at something in front of him and a bit down, with a tired but intrigued and analytical look.

A full color portrait of a male dwarf with dark hair and brown skin. His hair is greying, and his face shows definite wrinkles and creases; this is a man who has lived for some time in the world. Even though he appears to be in his fifties, he has shut his eyes to indulge in the whimsy of blowing the seeds off a dandelion. On his shoulder is a little crystal creature that glows blue. It watches the seeds fly with rapt interest. The overall feeling is peaceful, but the green, rift-like lighting adds an ominous air.

porting over more art! meeting on the turret stairs, but make it #shadowgast #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole #saturdayskyart #art

A #shadowgast rendition of the painting "Meeting on the turret stairs." Essek, an elf in sumptuous blue robes, and Caleb, a human in a leather coat over a maroon shirt, share a moment on a stone spiral staircase. Essek is climbing up and Caleb is descending; in the moment of their passing each other, Caleb has clutched Essek's hand in his arms and drawn it to his face. He presses his lips to Essek's forearm like he doesn't wish Essek to leave, but this is the only part of Essek he can reach. Essek has turned his face to the wall with a stricken expression. Neither of them wants the moment to be over, but they cannot stay. In less than a moment after the scene in this painting, they will have departed. The only evidence they were there will be the strand of pearls scattered on the floor: fortune, slipped through their fingers.

finally finished my mermay shadowgast picture, which took a while and was all sorts of fun to work on 💜🧡 initially inspired by a vintage photograph (in the replies!); i took one look at it and thought yep this one needs to be turned into shadowgast merfolk #shadowgast #CriticalRoleFanArt #MerMay

digital fan art of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, depicted in alternative universe designs as merfolk.

they're lounging on a rocky shore in the light of the golden hour, the still blue sky reflected on the layered surface of flat limestone, with just a bit of the sea and pink horizon visible in the background.

Caleb is light-skinned and is depicted with a long brownish tail, which has short spiky fins edged with brigher orange. it's lighter in the front and darker in the back, with wavy stripes reminiscent of mackerel. similar stripes, but fainter, are running up his arms and back. he has very long dark auburn hair in a braid, with a few light pearls decorating it, and a full beard; both his head hair and facial hair are tinged slightly green, as if growing algae. there are reddish gills on the sides of his ribcage, and he's carrying a pouch strapped tightly around his shoulders.

Essek has light lavender skin and short curly hair; his iridescent white tail is inspired by the spiny fins of the lionfish, the soft ends of them cascading down in the air. he has gills in his sides as well, and his pointed ears, forearms and hands are tinged a darker purple color. he is wearing a white decorative mantle that is hugging his neck and flaring out over his shoulders, its lace-like design similar to the geometric shapes of the venus's flower basket. around his hips, there is a double strand of silver oyster shells.

Caleb is sitting down, his tail stretching out in front of him, while Essek is lying on his side next to Caleb, propping himself up on one elbow. Caleb is holding one of his hands in front of his face, and Essek is reaching up to lay a gentle hand on Caleb's forearm, kissing the back of Caleb's hand. they are both smiling softly, with their eyes locked and half-closed.
