And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes.

Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

I wish I knew how to get cis "allies" to actually care about trans lives more than just empty words and affirmations

Reposting an image about how you support trans kids means fuck all when you pay hundreds of dollars to go see a licensed Harry Potter concert the very next day

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.

The hands of characters Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are depicted just barely touching, backlit by Caleb’s dancing lights in an Eiselcross cavern

commission for @nyarlie (on tumblr), who requested an illustration of one of the most wizard moments of campaign 2 ever 😏

#shadowgast #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart
digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role, in the middle of their conversation on the ninth floor of Caleb's tower in campaign 2 episode 133. they are close to each other, their darker silhouettes surrounded by the light gray backdrop of the starry dunamantic field, light orange galaxy sprawling behind them. Caleb is dressed in the dark green jacket he wears underneath his heavy winter coat, his dark red hair pulled back into a short ponytail and his pale freckled face clean-shaven; he is standing on the ethereal floor of the chamber. The floor is only distinguishable as a surface by Caleb's posture and feet against it, otherwise it blends seamlessly into the starry space around the characters. Essek, a drow with light lavender skin and short wavy white hair, wearing layered white winter clothes and a long cloak that is trailing behind him and is draped on the floor, is floating right next to Caleb. they're looking at each other, Caleb with a soft face and Essek with a stern and intense expression he had when he said "I'm pretty sure, young man", leaning towards Caleb. there is a bright exploding star in a faraway nebula visible between their faces, and their figures are edged with red and blue chromatic aberration, as if slightly out of focus and dispersing into many infinitesimally different variations of themselves.

I drew these as art for a witcher AU #shadowgast fanfiction back in 2022 - it was such a fan project to draw moments in a sort of cinematic way that could fit well within AO3's pages.

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.

i feel like no amount of labeling and marie kondo-ing their cottage would stop Essek and Caleb's dinner table from becoming a research table as well

#shadowgast #criticalrolefanart
digital fanart of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, having dinner and a heated discussion at the same time. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his forties; his dark red hair is swept back, and there is a touch of white at his temples and in his full beard. he is dressed in a white shirt, the embroidered collar open and the sleeves rolled up to reveal the regularly spaced long-healed scars on his forearms. Essek is a young-looking slender drow with dusky lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is curled in a swirl and pinned back neatly. he is dressed in a low-necked black shirt and a dark blue silk robe over it. they're sitting at a dinner table, cluttered with both food and various books and scrolls. there is a woven bread basket, a peach and a plum lying next to each other, an inkwell with a quill, an open book next to Essek. Caleb is rubbing his jaw pensively with his right hand, pointing at something on a sheet of parchment in front of him with his left index finger, having pushed his half-finished bowl of soup to the side. Essek is sitting close to Caleb, holding a spoon in his left hand over his own bowl of soup and about to bite down on a slice of crusty bread in his right. he is looking at whatever Caleb is pointing at, leaning forward and listening intently. there is a calico cat in his lap, her mischievous face just visible over the edge of the table, and she is trying to swipe some bread crumbs closer to herself with a paw. the color scheme is warm and bright, as if the room is lit with afternoon sun, and the semi-realistic rendering is done with wide textured strokes.

a soft portrait

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #shadowgast #criticalrolespoilers
digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is depicted as a slender drow with lavender skin and curly white hair that reaches past his chin, while Caleb is a light-skinned bearded human of average build, with ginger hair that is brushed back and is straighter than Essek's, but is of a similar length. they're both dressed in comfortable clothes: simple trousers and shirts, Caleb's sleeves messily rolled up, exposing the regularly spaced long-healed scars on his forearms, and Essek wearing an elegant house robe over his lounge clothes, its split sleeves too showing his naked arms. Essek is sitting down, while Caleb stands behind him, one of Caleb's hands resting on Essek's shoulder, and Essek reaching up and touching Caleb's hand with his fingertips. they are both relaxed and smiling gently in a slightly shaded room painted in tones of brown; behind them is an open window, showing soft blue and pink sky, the sun lighting the edges of their shoulders and hair.

hello #shadowgast fans of bluesky, please enjoy an old sketch of the wizards i like a lot! just them about to enjoy some together time after some years have gone by. essek is tokyo drifting into his partner's lap

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #myart
A digital sketch of the wizards Essek, an elf, and Caleb, a human. They are enjoying a moment together: Essek has drifted into Caleb's lap, interrupting the grading of essays, and is caressing Caleb's lips. His other hand is running through Caleb's hair. Caleb, old enough he needs glasses, is focused on Essek's face, deeply into what Essek is proposing; he has his hand cupping the nape of Essek's neck. They look lovingly at each other, with a sense of promise. The sketch is done in sepia tones with a pink halo around the two main characters.

reposting my Astrid Beck portrait separately because it's one of my favorite paintings i've done so far this year

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart
digital fanart of Astrid Beck from critical role, drawn from thighs-up. she is a pale-skinned thin blonde woman, standing facing the viewer with one of her hands raised to chest level and the other stretched down, palm-forward, casting a spell. her chin-length straight hair is floating up around her face and she is looking at the viewer with a calm and collected expression. she has a severe burn scar in the shape of a hand on the right side of her face, extending down her neck and chest, and multiple regularly-spaced and long-healed horizontal incisions on her forearms, with intricate maze-like tattoos built around them. she is wearing a purple dress with a cape and a low v-shaped neckline with peak lapels similar to ones you might see on a blazer, dark eyeshadow on her unburnt eye and a feather fan-like earring on her unburnt ear.
