#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #calebwidogast
digital sketch of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, done in shades of orange and brown. he is a freckled bearded man with medium-length messy hair, wearing a large tattered coat, simple trousers, leather boots and bandages around his forearms. he is sitting on a wooden crate darning a sock; his right foot is bare on the ground with a scrap of paper placed underneath it, and the right boot is visible standing next to it.

since i got stuck in the scourger!Bren headspace it kinda resulted in me drawing some shadowgast featuring that lad. naturally it turned out somewhat horny. also i know a few of you said SHADOWGAST in response to my Bren sketch, and i'm always happy to be of service

#shadowgast
digital sketch of Essek and Bren from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with short curly hair, dressed in leggings, a form-fitting shirt with voluminous sleeves and an elaborate armor-like piece that resembles a beetle's carapace resting on his shoulders. Bren is a human with short messy hair and a beard; he is wearing simple pants and a loose shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his forearms and the maze-like tattoos on them. Bren is sitting in a chair, leaning back with his knees spread and his hands resting palms-up on his thighs. he's looking up at Essek with hooded eyes; Essek is standing in front of him with his back to the viewer, with one of his legs bent and the knee propped on the seat between Bren's thighs. his posture is relaxed, one hip cocked and his arms at his sides.

two wintery wizards commissioned by @aravhy.bsky.social as a gift for their friends! they requested Essek admiring the first snowflakes, and Caleb admiring Essek : ) i thought that that prompt was the sweetest thing in existence and was incredibly excited to put it on canvas 🥰

#shadowgast
chest-up digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with purple skin and short light curly hair; Caleb is a light-skinned human with long ginger hair and a beard. Essek is standing on the left in profile, gazing up at the grey-ish blue overcast sky and the falling snowflakes. on the right, slightly farther away from the viewer is Caleb, looking at Essek with a small fond smile. both of them are wearing warm clothes, with a thin layer of fresh snowflakes on Essek's fluffy dark fur collar and Caleb's muted green and purple striped scarf.

@saturdaysky.bsky.social commissioned me with an absolutely outstanding #shadowgast prompt; namely, 'Caleb helping Essek put on a fancy outfit'. i'm sure you can imagine how ecstatic i was about it, and i'm very excited to post this bad boy now! thank you for commissioning me 💜
digital fanart of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast. Essek is a drow with dark purple skin and short white hair; Caleb is a taller light-skinned human with long red hair and a beard. they are standing with their backs to the viewer in front of a large mirror; Caleb is behind Essek, in the middle of helping him do up the hook closure in the back of Essek's white shirt. it is open all the way down to Essek's tailbone, exposing Essek's naked back and a delicate necklace consisting of several interconnected chains with one pendant trailing down his spine. the closure of the shirt is decorated to resemble a vertebral column; Caleb is holding one part of the open collar with his right hand, while the left is positioned down low, with the index finger slipping underneath one of the panels of the shirt. Essek is looking at himself in the mirror with a slight self-satisfied smile, fixing the cuffs of his shirt; the reflection of Caleb's face is carefully watching Essek in the mirror.

commission for @piratethextine.bsky.social, an illustration for the second (upcoming!) part of her sg fanfic (link below)!
this was an absolute treat of a commission because i got to illustrate that magical moment of seeing a person you love for the first time in a very long time : )

#shadowgast
digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a purple-skinned drow with short curly white hair, wearing dark and warm clothes, slightly worn and stained in places: a wrap-around shirt with a white turtleneck collar peaking from beneath it, wide pleated striped ombré pants, a wide leather belt with various pouches hanging off of it, lace-up boots and a cloak with a fur collar and geometric pattern on it. he is standing on a snow-covered road facing the viewer, one hand holding the edge of his cloak, the other raised in front of his stomach in an uncertain gesture; he is looking at something off-screen in front of him with wide and stunned hopeful eyes. behind him, a lightly sketched market fades into unimportance below a bright periwinkle sky, and he is lit from the side by pinky-orange rays of the rising sun.

sneaking a naughty wizard kiss at whatever winter holiday market exists in the empire before Essek has to recast his disguise ❄️

#shadowgast
digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with light purple skin and short white curly hair, wearing purple winter gloves and a dark fur-lined cloak with the hood up; Caleb is a light-skinned human with a beard and long red hair in a bun, dressed in a brown coat and purple scarf wound around his neck. they are kissing; one of Essek's hands is tugging the hood of his cloak to the side, while the other is resting on Caleb's back just below his neck. behind them, there are lines of lanterns and simple triangle garlands.

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.

i find scourger au's absolutely amazing in how one of their purposes is to simply satisfy the fandom's infinite horniness for evil-aligned wizards, and you know i had to get in on that shit too

a digital waist-up sketch of Bren from Critical Role, done in shades of orange. he has short hair swept to one side, a short beard and freckles; he is dressed in a simple shirt with an open collar and rolled up sleeves, and has leather underarm holsters on. he is sitting and leaning back with his outstretched left arm propped on a raised knee, loosely holding a piece of amber with a cord wrapped around it and dangling from his hand. he is looking somewhere off-screen with a tired expression. on his exposed forearm, there are regularly spaced horizontal scars with dark geometric maze-like tattoos linking them up.

a little study of Essek from ep 91 because i love that hand-to-chest gesture very much. also a throwback to my very first drawing of Essek where he was making a very similar gesture!

a waist-up digital sketch of Essek Thelyss from critical role, done in shades of purple. he is a drow with short wavy hair, wearing a high-neck shirt with elaborately decorated shoulders. he is looking at something out of frame with a pleasant smile, as if in the middle of talking, with his right hand delicately resting on his chest.

digital fanart depicting the hands of the members of the mighty nein holding various objects. Beau's hand is wrapped around a bo staff, Molly has an oracle card with the symbol of the Moonweaver between his index and middle fingers, Fjord is holding the eye of Uk'otoa in the palm of his hand. Jester is holding a wooden figurine of the Traveler between her thumb and pointer finger, Essek is delicately holding a dip pen, Caleb has a piece of dark amber between his thumb and index finger, Yasha is gently holding up a pink and green ranunculus flower. Caduceus is lifting up a white chipped porcelain cup, Nott has a scuffed flask clutched in her hands, and Veth is playing with a lockpick with her pinkie sticking out.

digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. they are depicted in the salon of Caleb's tower, lit by a fireplace somewhere off screen and a few floating balls of amber light above them. in the foreground, there is a piece of a spiral staircase visible, and just behind it a small potted apple tree; in the background there are bookshelves and a window showing a dusky teal sky. Caleb is sitting on a sofa, curled in on himself, with his head in his hands; he is wearing some of his Aeor gear: his stormrider boots, dark pants and a thin black sweater, as if he's taken off the outer layers. Essek is standing next to him, dressed in all white, with a little bit of dirt staining his boots and the bottom of his tunic; one of his hands is hovering hesitantly over Caleb's head. Caleb's underarm holster is lying on a low table in front of him; next to it, there are two books, one closed and one open, and a little piece of amber on a dark leather cord.

digital sketch of Caleb Widogast from critical role, done in the shades of brown and orange. he is shown from shoulders up, smiling slightly and looking somewhere off screen. he's wearing his long hair in a ponytail and his heavily freckled face is cleanly shaved. digital sketch of Essek Thelyss from critical role, styled like a little comic panel. he's looking down with a focused expression on his face, biting his bottom lip, his hands clasped in front of his chest. on each of his shoulders there is a little chibi Essek with devil's horns, wings and tail. one of them is saying "ooh but the cat paw is so cute!" with a mischievous expression on his face; the other is facing away from the viewer (no less mischievous though), his tail curling in a heart shape, and is saying "ooh but he's so pretty, look at his sad puppy eyes!".

i remember really struggling with this one when i was drawing it and i think i wasn't happy with how it turned out at the time, but now looking at it brings me a lot of joy. this was also the first shadowgast kiss i'd ever drawn 💜🧡

#criticalrolefanart #shadowgast
digital sketch of Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast from critical role, styled like a pencil drawing on tan paper. Caleb is a taller human with long hair in a messy bun, wearing a shirt with its sleeves rolled up, exposing regularly spaced precise scars on his forearm; Essek is a shorter elf with short hair, wearing a soft-looking pullover shirt and ear cuffs that somewhat resemble sprigs or laurel. they're leaning towards each other and kissing; Caleb has his arm just under Essek's, with his hand resting on Essek's back at his shoulder, while Essek is delicately touching Caleb's cheek, his fingers obscuring the couple's lips from the viewer.

an older shadowgast painting i did back in february in celebration of valentine's day 💜

#shadowgast #criticalrolefanart
digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from critical role. the composition is cropped to only show a part of Essek's torso, with Caleb's hands on his chest, presumably hugging Essek tightly from behind; Essek is resting his hands delicately on top of Caleb's. he's wearing a dark glossy silk top that's open in the front, with his chest entirely covered by a black shirt underneath; his fingers are adorned with a few white gold rings, some of which are plain bands and others are more intricate, like a large moth-shaped ring on his middle finger. Caleb is wearing a ring on each one of his middle fingers: his ring of thelepathy, which is a thick yellow-gold band with an amber stone in it, and his ring of evasion, which is a silver signet ring with a relief of a hare on it. the picture employs a dark limited palette of muted purples, golds and pinks.

Yasha is convinced their cake is a half gooey half burnt mess because Essek was wearing gloves the entire time they were baking (alchemist habits) and due to that none of his love had transferred from his hands to the ingredients. also she wasn't sure what baking powder is

#criticalrolefanart
digital sketch of Yasha and Essek from critical role, styled like a little comic panel. they are standing next to each other and looking down at a steaming cake pan. Yasha has her hands on her hips and is saying "I don't think cakes are supposed to be gooey in the center like that...". Essek is touching his face with one hand with a pensive expression, hugging himself with the other arm, and is replying "No, I don't believe they are". Yasha is wearing a belted tunic with the sleeves rolled all the way up to her shoulders, showing off her massive arms; her wild curly hair is at its post-campaign chin length, with a few braids woven into it. Essek is wearing a simple oversized shirt, gloves that look like they were designed for protection and not food handling, and Yasha's apron, which reads 'Zadashian in the streets, Xhorhassian in the sheets' and is way too big for him.
