#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.

Welcome home!
Liam described Essek and Caleb's little house. I cried like a baby.
I drew a purple goat, so tag #criticalrolespoilers just in case. I need more floating purple goats, he is adorable.

Of course, I also drew in case of my favorite wizards.
I think they are good at curling.

digital fanart of Beauregard Lionett from Critical Role, standing in a dynamic pose, caught in the middle of swinging her bo staff. she is a brown-skinned woman with dark hair in a braided mohawk, wearing a dark blue sleeveless top that exposes her midriff, dark blue pants, a red sash around her hips, long fingerless gloves with wiry geometric bracers over them, and a light gray cloak that's whipping around her in the wind. she is lit by the light of the little red moon Ruidus; behind her there is a dark teal colored sky and clouds of a dust storm. digital fanart of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, depicting him in the middle of casting a spell with a wide gesture of his hands; it looks like fiery red strings of a cat's cradle. he is a light-skinned man with dark auburn and gray wavy hair, and is wearing a dark leather duster, open in the front and revealing a book under his right arm and a number of various pouches; there is a purple scarf with a geometric pattern around his neck. he is lit by the red glow from his spell, and has the same dark teal sky and dust storm behind him.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

i'd wanted to play around with Caleb's hair color for a while, so i did! gave him a few different hairstyles just for the hell of it too (feat. my scourger Bren design in the bottom right-hand corner, because why not)

#criticalrolefanart #calebwidogast
six digital colored headshots of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, who is a light-skinned man with blue eyes, slightly graying wavy hair and a full beard; each drawing depicts him with a different shade of red hair, from strawberry blond to bright red to auburn.

after exploring various flavors of redhead with colored Caleb sketches i couldn't help but do the same with Essek 🤭 i know his hair has been described simply as 'white', but my personal headcanon is something slightly warmer (the one in the bottom right-hand corner!)

#criticalrolefanart
six digital colored headshots of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, who is a drow with light lavender skin and periwinkle eyes. each drawing depicts him with a different short hairstyle (short wavy bangs, long curled bangs, wavy with a side-part, an undercut with a heap of curls on top, straight hair in a neat side-part, short finger waves) and various nearly white shades of hair (snowy blue, grey-ish pink, light blond, pastel purple, almost pure white and a warm-toned off-white).

a compilation of digital drawings of Essek from Critical Role, done in a cute simple chibi style. there are seven in total: Essek sitting on a rock, wearing Caleb's scarf and enjoying a bowl of cauliflower soup; Essek wearing a warm fur-collared cloak, in a dynamic pose, casting Dark Star on a broccoli head; Essek wearing an Elie Saab outfit that consists of a long flowing dress and a fluffy jacket made of feathery flowers; Essek standing with his back to the viewer, the back closure of his shirt open. he is holding a hand mirror, and his smug smirk can be seen in the reflection. next to him, there is a speech bubble pointing outside, with Caleb's surprised and enamored face in it; Essek wearing a wide-brimmed hat and gardening gloves, planting a seedling; Essek wearing an apron that is too large for him, with a triumphant face, holding up a steaming pie dish; Essek knitting a very long scarf.

i think not drawing chibi shadowgast after drawing chibi Essek and chibi Caleb would have been considered a felony somewhere

#shadowgast #criticalrolefanart
a collection of drawings of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role, drawn in a cute chibi style. there are five in total: Caleb smoothing a map on the table, appearing to be explaining something. Essek stands next to him, looking at the map with a pensive expression and an index finger resting against his mouth; Caleb and Essek lounging in a hot tub. only their heads are visible; Caleb's hair is slicked back with water and he has a content expression on his face. Essek's hair is curly and fluffy from the moisture; his mouth is submerged and he is blowing air bubbles; Caleb and Essek standing in profile, sharing a smooch. Essek is wearing a cloak with a big hood that he is pushing back, and Caleb is resting his hand on Essek's cheek; Caleb in his giant ape form, holding a squirming disheveled Essek on his shoulder and huffing out two puffs of air; Caleb and Essek sleeping under a blanket. both of them are drooling a little bit, and two strings of Zs are trailing off of them.

shadowgast kiss meme: hair/head kiss ✨

the key to Essek's peaceful nighttime reading is tiring his young man out with wizardly activities enough for said man to fall asleep in the middle of some cuddly kisses : )

#shadowgast
a digital drawing of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, done in shades of mint and dark reddish brown. Essek is a drow with short curly hair and small pointed ears, wearing a light sleeveless sleeping shirt with a low neckline. Caleb is a human with long wavy hair, a beard and freckles; there are regularly spaced scars on his forearms, and he is shirtless. both of them are lying in bed on their sides under a blanket that covers their legs. Essek is reading a book, which is resting against the arm closest to the bed, with a slight smug smile on his face, while Caleb is sleeping, tucked against Essek's back. one of his hands is resting on Essek's side and his peacefully slack face is buried in Essek's hair. curled against Essek's stomach is a sleeping tabby cat.

shadowgast kiss meme: collarbone kiss ✨

what do you do when your nineteenth century fancy gentleman boyfriend's face is covered in bitter creams and goops but you really want to kiss him? that's right, you kiss his collarbones instead

#shadowgast
a digital drawing of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, done in shades of mint green and dark reddish brown, depicting them from chest up. Essek is a drow with short hair styled in artful waves; Caleb is a human with a beard and long slightly wavy hair gathered in a ponytail. Essek is applying some sort of cream to his cheek with the fingers of his right hand, looking out of the frame as if into a mirror with an unbothered expression, while Caleb is clinging to him, burying his face in Essek's shoulder and pressing his lips to a collarbone revealed by a pushed aside edge of a robe. Essek's left arm is loosely wrapped around Caleb's back, hand holding an open cosmetic tin.

a while back i saw a picture @mllekurtz.bsky.social took in the gardens of Villa Taranto and really wanted to do a study of it. then inserting everyone's favorite wizards into the potential picture was suggested, so naturally i no longer had any other choice but to go through with it

#shadowgast
digital painting of a garden, featuring Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. the camera view is looking down a cobblestone garden path winding slightly to the right. on the sides of the path, there is a series of pairs of old brick columns, which support wooden beams that run above the path and perpendicular to it. on top of the beams, there is a network of dense branches and leaves, with wisteria blooms hanging down from between the beams. Caleb and Essek are standing in the middle of the path, silhouetted against the lighter sun-lit background, looking at each other and holding hands. the picture employs a somewhat rough painterly style and a limited palette of mint green, shades of brown, purple, brick red and a bit of yellow.

episode 96 Essek expression studies! one sheet was not enough, the hot boy is too expressive

#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolespoilers #essekthelyss
several digital sketches of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, who is depicted as a young-looking drow with artfully pinned back wavy hair. 1. Essek pulling one side of his sleep mask up with a greatly annoyed pout on his face. 2. Essek pointing with his index finger, looking down with a frustrated expression. 3. Essek wearing his sleep mask with his head thrown back, as if resting, though what is visible of his face looks very displeased. 4. Essek smiling graciously in the middle of talking, eyes closed. 5. Essek with a frown on his face, squeezing his eyes shut as if bracing himself for something. 6. Essek delicately nibbling on a piece of meat held between the index finger and the thumb of his left hand; he looks rather miffed. 7. Essek leaning forward, his eyebrows raised sarcastically. 8. Essek looking up with a pensive expression. 9. Essek looking to the side, his expression suspicious and alarmed. 10. Essek dramatically casting a spell, arms crossed in front of him.
