i am still so sad we never got to meet verin in canon, bc i *immensely* enjoy when characters who are as cool and composed as essek regress back into petty teenagers with their siblings. and a jock-nerd brother dynamic on top of it is even better… i would’ve liked to see it….

More mercaleb posting! If you missed it, I once illustrated @ariadne-mouse.bsky.social's amazing #shadowgast mer-au.

Ch 3: the sea longs for Essek
Ch 4: Essek faces off with a gull and loses

#criticalrolefanart #art

A two-panel drawing showing that the ocean is has its hooks in Essek. In the first panel, his eyes are wide and shocked. In the second, seaweed has wrapped around his ankle, as if it wishes to anchor him in the tide. Around both panels, an ocean wave sweeps in.

A drawing showing a face-off between Essek, who is holding a glass of wine and looking very affronted, and a seagull, which has rudely perched upon his large arcane leyline device. In a that classic seagull way, it seems totally unfazed by any affront.

an old #shadowgast comic i did during the eiselcross arc!

[ #criticalrolefanart | #fanart | #art ]

A comic that shows Essek watching Caleb and Jester in the distance. Jester is proselytizing to Caleb's cat, and Caleb is listening. By his expressions, it is clear that Essek is fond of both of them, but has feelings for Caleb. Caleb sends a loving look at Jester, who doesn't seem to notice. The last panel is Essek's bittersweet smile as he assumes his own feelings are unrequited.

Image is a digital painting of a portrait of the Shadowhand Essek Thelyss from critical role. He is in the middle of giving head to someone offscreen with pale skin and freckles, implied to be Caleb. A large amount of drool clings to his lips and chin, as he’s clearly been at it awhile. His eyes look up between half-lidded lashes.

Typical night in the Widogast-Thelyss household. 💜🧡🍑💦

Loose, greyscale, flat-color sketch of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast in bed immediately after sex. Caleb is stretched out with his head down, ass up, and a pool of come partly visible beneath him. Heart symbols hover over the back of his head. Essek kneels between his thighs behind him with one hand on Caleb’s lower back and his still-erect, double-crowned cock drooling come onto his own fingers and Caleb’s skin. Both men have intact foreskins. The picture frame crops out both their faces. Essek has a speech bubble that simply says, “Good boy.” Blue sketch lines left visible add to the loose and casual vibe of the drawing.

WE LOVE THE ELF EARS AS EROGENOUS ZONES TROPE IT RULES! Need to see Essek absolutely melt under Caleb's hands, and his mouth, and his mage hand also.

absolutely putting this into the shadowgast feed with this tag -> #shadowgast

digital sketch of Essek and Caleb from critical role. they're both shirtless, with Caleb wearing only simple drawstring pants, and Essek fitted high-waisted trousers and a large intricate ear cuff. Caleb has his arms tied in a box tie behind his back, his posture relaxed and his eyes closed; Essek is standing behind him, leaning forward to place a soft kiss between Caleb's shoulder blades. one of Essek's arms (the one that's farther away from the viewer) is reaching around Caleb, fingers gently wrapping around Caleb's chin; his other hand is down, and he's slipping two of his fingers into one of Caleb's fists to check for nerve compression; Caleb is squeezing his fingers.

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
