that sick day stream reminded me that I always wanted to make FCG human AU, so.

some brothers and their dumb ball

I’ll be your champion.

hope u like it i worked so hard to make him as pathetic as possible

Thinking about the shadowgast crumbs we got in the Lucien boom. And how Essek was holding Caleb’s body. So he was literally guarding Caleb until Jester killed Lucien and her and Cad came over to revivify him.

What’s very “fun” to think about it based on the in game combat and combining the new info we got, this is how that scene went down:

First Essek gets pulled away from his original position by Caleb due to Elatus. Then Caleb gets impaled like 3 times in front of him and tossed aside. He then would have to have run back or floated back to get to Caleb as the book says since he was pulled away by like 15ft(?)And then be holding onto Caleb’s body so the city didn’t consume him until Jester deals the killing blow and was waiting for the healers to come and help.

So….if Yasha had to literally rip the city away from Veth cuz Veth was prone on the ground and it was gonna swallow her, we could feasibly say either Essek did the same and just kept ripping away the city until it died.

Or! Essek was holding Caleb in his arms bridal style to keep him off of the ground.

This is something I've been wanting to draw for a while. Hope to update soon with the colored version

Even if your love was unconditional

It still wouldn't be enough to save me

I hope that in season two of tlovm they don’t fly over just how depressed vax’ildan was at the beginning of vox machina’s journey. He was so down and his only purpose was revenge against the dragons. But not in a percy’s-anger-towards-the-briarwoods kind of way; but in a I-feel-this-hollowness-inside-me and I need to fill it with something, anything, kind of way.

He gets rejected by keyleth, argues with grog and he still doesn’t have the best relationship with percy. He doesn’t feel as connected with vox machina as his sister does. He asks her what they’re even doing with them. The times he talks to scanlan are the times in which he wonders how he goes about his day being so happy with the numerous shitty circumstances they find themselves into.

Then his sister dies, and he can’t accept that. So he offers his life, because of course he does. However, he finds himself changed by the raven queen, and in the beginning he’s just so scared and confused by her and himself. Life didn’t go at all how he planned.

But slowly, very slowly, he makes progress.

And when he’s finally happy, it’s just so rewarding.

(Which makes his “death” even more sad…)

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

a very sunny day

(Essek of the week #2!)
