Essek's Expressions In The Newest Episodes Have Been So Precious That I Had To Draw Some Of Them. These

seven sketches of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. in all of them he is depicted as a young-looking drow with long wavy hair with the bangs pinned artfully back, wearing layered robes with a high turtleneck, or a cloak with a large fur collar.

in the first sketch, Essek is holding a lantern in one hand and turning Ashton's head with his other hand on their chin. he is studying Ashton's glass scar intently and saying "Impossible".

in the second sketch, Essek is looking off-screen with a lofty expression, elegantly gesturing with one of his hands, and saying "It's magic." there are sparkles drawn around the word 'magic'.

in the third sketch he is looking down with a slightly bashful smile.

in the fourth sketch he is tilting his head to the side with an alarmed and confused expression. there is a question mark and an exclamation mark next to his head.

in the fifth sketch he has a quietly panicking expression on, with wide eyes and pursed lips, and is saying "Well, we fucked up."

in the sixth sketch he is doing an exaggerated shrug, hands splayed out, eyebrows raised and the corners of his mouth turned down in a somewhat amused expression, as if saying "hell if i know".

in the last sketch, he is looking at someone off-screen with an exasperated expression, his mouth flattened in annoyance and eyes narrowed.

Essek's expressions in the newest episodes have been so precious that i Had to draw some of them. these are only the TIP of the iceberg of all of my favorites, but gods willing i will draw more

special shout out to the confused puppy head tilt Essek did at Ashton's head, which is a mannerism i chose to headcanon he'd picked up from Caleb

tip jar!

[ID: A digital illustration of Orym from Critical Role. He is kneeling on the ground with a sword through his chest, splitting his armor down the middle. Orym looks down at the sword with a pained and alarmed expression, holding the hilt of the sword with his left hand. Blood is spattered across his front and pools beneath him where the sword juts out of his back. His blood spattered sword and shield lie on the ground next to him. End description.]

Well that can't be good
