Caleb was excited and a little nervous to bring Essek to the Zemni Fields for the holidays…and they’re having a wonderful time <3

The #weezerds venture outside now that the snow has finally stopped! Caleb is bundled up and ready, but Essek would rather be inside with a book and a cat.

#smolessekventures #calebwidogast #essekthelyss #shadowgast
small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are outside on a snowy day. They are on a bridge, with a black iron handrail behind them. Beyond is a view of a cold-looking river and a snow-covered, tree-lined slope. Caleb is wearing a scarf; slightly behind him, Essek looks like he’d rather be indoors.

That's a pretty clean desk for a wizard. #shadowgast #themightynein
Essek and Caleb are sitting at a desk. Caleb is sitting in the chair. Essek is half-sitting on the desk itself. Caleb is writing on a scroll. Essek is reaching around Caleb's back to put a hand on his shoulder.

Hmm. So, apparently, I'm into drawing Shadowgast art. I greatly enjoy drawing Essek! Caleb I am still trying to get a handle on. But pretty elves? Hold my beer! #shadowgast
Essek and Caleb and Tulips. Essek is looking facing the viewer but has rolled his eyes up to look at Caleb who is above him to the right. Caleb is looking down at Essek.

commission for Elissa, her tiefling paladin of devotion Hasdrubal and Minthara! thank you for commissioning me 💜

#bg3 #BaldursGate3
digital semi-realistic painting of an original character with Minthara, a companion from Baldur's Gate 3. the original character is a tiefling with medium-brown skin and large ram's horns curling off of her forehead. she appears to be short and athletic, in her mid-thirties. she has dark brown hair that is kept in a segmented ponytail, with the sides shaved. there is a long thin scar running across her face over her nose; her eyes have black sclera and yellow irises. Minthara is a dark elf, depicted with gray-purple skin and long stringy white hair in a messy up-do. she is the same height as the tiefling, and appears to be somewhat older. there is a thin scar visible on her neck. both of the characters are wearing full-plate armor; the tiefling's armor is silvery, with leather detailing, while the elf's is a dark gray-blue metal, with golden skulls decorating the pauldrons. the women are facing each other, their hands raised to chest-level and fingers interlocked in a romantic gesture. their faces are close together, foreheads almost touching. the tiefling is looking at her partner with slightly hooded eyes and a wide smile, lips closed; the elf's expression is more subdued, and her gaze is turned towards their hands. the background behind them is gray and cheery yellow, as if a beam of light is illuminating the tiefling and catching just a bit of the elf's face as well.

#CriticalRoleFanArt #MightyNeinAnimated #MightyNeinAnimatedSpoilers
a digital semi-realistic painting based on a still from The Mighty Nein Animated. it depicts Caleb Widogast, a light-skinned ginger man, facing the camera and watching the flames roaring in front of him with a distressed look on his face, his shoulders slumped, his teeth bared, brows furrowed and eyes wide in horror. his chin-length hair and beard are greasy and messy, the short fur lining the collar of his coat tattered. the flames are reflected in his light blue eyes, highlighting the tears rolling down his face and coloring the pupils red. the dark blue background behind him suggests night time, and back-lights his fiery orange and brown silhouette with pale blue moonlight.

rewatched the wedding one-shot with a friend last weekend. it keeps being funny i'm afraid

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #FjoresterWedding
a sketch illustration of an exchange between Caleb and Essek, from the Jester and Fjord's wedding one-shot of Critical Role. Caleb is looking extremely disheveled, with hay sticking out of his cow-licked hair; next to him, Essek is slightly more put-together, wearing a robe and smudged dark eye shadow, his hair up in a messy bun. Caleb is leaning down to excitedly whisper to Essek, "Essek, you could finally meet Pock O'Pea!". Essek is looking away with barely concealed annoyance, saying, "I'm looking forward to it. You have said so much about this strange gnarled man". below them, there are two notes next to reference marks. the one below Caleb says "got so shit-faced the previous night he completely forgot that Essek has already met Chetney". the note below Essek reads "has absolutely NOT forgotten Chetney roasting him every chance he got".

commission for @saturni-idae on tumblr, their tiefling bard/sorcerer Scaramouche Le Blanc! thank you for commissioning me 🤍🩵💙

#art
digital portrait of a young tiefling. he has pale skin, short white hair that curls delicately around his face, and gray horns growing at the top of his head and curving backwards. his eyes are different: one has a dark iris, while the other one, turned to the viewer, is completely black and seems rounder and has longer doll-like lashes. he is dressed in white clothing, with a short ruffle around his neck and lace at his wrists. he is holding an elaborate square golden brown picture frame up to his face, looking at the camera through it with a playful smile and a tilt to his head. the background behind him is dark blue, and slightly lighter and more saturated inside the frame.

you can't tell me this did not happen at some point at Fjord's bachelor party
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers
sketchy digital re-draw of a meme featuring Beauregard, Fjord and Caleb from Critical Role. Beau is standing in the foreground chugging a bottle of wine, her spectacular abs as always on display, while Fjord and Caleb are drunkenly making out in the background. the composition is slightly off-center to match the original photo's sense of chaotic candidness.

in the wake of the season’s first snow, the #weezerds explore a botanical garden to remember what warmth and growing things are like. Essek has new ambitions for the scale of his orchids.

#shadowgast #smolessekventures #calebwidogast #essekthelyss
Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss stand in front of a massive orchid bloom that’s almost as big as they are. The orchid is fuchsia with a yellow centre. Caleb looks like he’s about to kiss Essek on the cheek. Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss stand in front of potted orchids in a botanical garden. The flower behind Caleb is orange; the ones above Essek are purple. Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss stand in front of potted orchids in a botanical garden.

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.

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 set of semi-realistic sketchy head shot portraits of several characters from campaign 4 of Critical Role. Azune is a young human with a short beard and long wavy hair in a messy braid. he has a thin faded scar running up his cheek and through his facial hair, and a large birthmark over his left eye. he is looking up with a hopeful expression. Tyranny is a young-looking demon with pierced goat ears, horns growing out of her forehead, a pointy goatee, and long straight hair with short bangs. she is depicted in profile, her mouth open as if speaking and her hands folded in front of her face in a prayer. Wick is a young human with short hair curling delicately around his face. he has several simple tattoos on his face, including a stripe running down his bottom lip and chin and through his short goatee. there is a diadem resting on his forehead, decorated with crystals. he is looking at the camera with a serene smile. next to him is his grandmother Yanessa, an older woman with features very similar to Wick. she is wearing an elaborate up-do with a halo-like crystal ornament woven into her hair. she is smiling at the viewer with the same smile as her grandson. Teor is lion-folk with a septum piercing and a braided beard. he's looking wistfully into the distance. Occtis is a young human with dark shoulder-length wavy hair. he appears slightly tired, looking down. Julien is a young human with thick curly hair. he has a bit of stubble on his chin and a few moles on his face. he is staring at the viewer from under his eyebrows with angry defiance.

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleCampaign4
digital fan art of a scene from campaign 4 episode 4 of Critical Role, illustrating Aranessa and Thaisha running. Aranessa is depicted as a light-skinned thin human with long ginger hair in a disheveled updo, wearing a dark green dress. Thaisha is a much taller, more muscular and heavy-set green-skinned orc, with long kinky dark hair, dressed in a red sleeveless tunic and comfortable dark pants. both of them are rushing to the bridge that is just visible at the edge of the picture; Aranessa has picked up some of her skirts and kicked off her shoes, bare feet against cobblestone, reaching towards the invisible barrier between Estate Davinos and safety. Thaisha is a step behind her, Occtis's dead body slung over one of her shoulders. there is blood smeared across Aranessa's face, some flowing from her nose; Thaisha's shoulder is covered in Occtis's blood. they are illuminated by the light of the full moon peeking from behind dense clouds, casting an eerie teal glow over them.

commission for @adomania.bsky.social, their awesome character Lirim! was an absolute pleasure to work on the details and composition of this one, thank you for commissioning me 🌌

#art
a thighs-up digital portrait of a person against the backdrop of outer space. they appear to be young adult, have pale skin and wavy dark chin-length hair, part of it dissolving into smoke. they are dressed entirely in black clothing with gold accents, including a heavy fur-collared cloak draped over their shoulders and black sunglasses that almost completely hide their eyes. behind them, on their right side, there is a giant black starry wing, held unfolded. they have a large black centipede wrapped around their shoulders, and its body curls down in a figure eight; there are more parts of this centipede visible in the picture, suggesting an infinite length. it has a starry belly and multiple eyes, including stylized images of eyes curving around its body like a hologram. it's partially supported by the hands of the person holding it, as well as another pair of hands, black, shimmery and immaterial but seemingly belonging to the same individual. one of those hands is holding up a small perfectly spherical black hole, the light bending around it and giving it a shining outline. it is mirrored in another, much larger black hole behind the person's head, the luminescent crown of golden rainbow light around it pulled and stretched into opposite directions by its spin.
