[ID: A Digital Illustration Of Orym From Critical Role. He Is Kneeling On The Ground With A Sword Through

just over a year ago, @saturdaysky 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 (just look at that line, every single word in it is designed to make me go heart eyes), and i'm finally finished and excited to post this bad boy. i hope you guys enjoy this picture too and my very optimistic wish is that it inspires all sorts of lovely stories in your minds 😏

sky gave me a beautiful prompt and a specific atmosphere/mood to depict, but was very patient and generous about letting me go wild on the actual posing, colors and details, so naturally i did 😂 my idea of using a mirror in the composition was admittedly rather ambitious, and lead me to reading up quite a bit on optics, the physics of reflections and reflections in art specifically (as well as the history of zippers and other closures!), so not only was this commission a delight from the point of view of its topic, but i also learned a fair amount of new stuff while working on it. honestly speaking, i like to think that the bookworm wizards would approve of my little adventure.

thank you for commissioning me! 💜

what's the play here, beauregard?

Captain Avantika, from Critical Role !

i needed to continue my it's always sunny in philadelphia x cr redraws. but is it really a redraw if we all know that at some point the mighty nein definitely sang under Essek's window in a perfect recreation of that one caroling scene from A Very Sunny Christmas

[ID: A digital illustration of Orym from Critical Role. He is visible from the shoulders up, looking to the right with a smile. Orym has claw mark scars around his right eye and is wearing large dangly earrings shaped like brown and green butterfly wings. End description.]

One last Orym before the end of the year!

I really liked the moment when Fearne took Ashton's jacked, and I just wanted to draw it. Somehow it turned into modern setting fanart??

I’m just telling you this cuz idk who else could be told but Orym couldn’t wear his partners shirts and it kills me cuz they’d literally engulf him

anon i think you read my mind cause i have been drawing this thinking abt this exact thing

my two latest Essek sketches, the first one was me going 'damn never drawn the emo boy smiling' so i gave him Frumpkin, and the second one is inspired by the promo video cause like do we actually know whether Essek will appear in the m9 oneshot? no. will that keep me from drawing him though? also no

Honestly we were robbed of a cutscene where Karlach post-heart upgrade runs into camp yelling, 'All right, I'm going to hug everyone who's comfortable with it! Incoming!!!' I want to watch her pick Wyll right up and give him a big ol' squeeze as she promises she'll do everything she can to end the Hells' influence over him too. I want to see her crying with joy as she pets Scratch. I want to see her yelling 'come here, magic man!' and sending Gale's books flying as she ambush-hugs him from behind. I want to see her hugging Shadowheart and realising that holy shit, do you wanna braid hair, I can do that now! I want to see her bouncing on the balls of her feet as she asks if it's okay to hug Lae'zel, and Lae'zel pretending to agree reluctantly, but smiling secretly as Karlach squeezes her. I want to watch her ruffling Astarion's hair while he yelps no, do you have any idea how hard it is to comb one's hair when you don't have a reflection? Gods! But he doesn't back away.

Just. Karlach getting to show how much she loves her friends with everything she has. It's what she deserves.

Perfecting their form
