What's better than one Essek? Two Esseks! Gotta travel in duplicates when you're on the run. (So good to meet you @birdverbatim.bsky.social!)

My POTS made me too dizzy and I fell down taking my rabbit’s play pen with me 💀

Embarassing.

It’s a constant self-esteem battle that brings me intense bouts of anxiety and sadness.

I never apply the same “standards” or judgement to others but for some reason I struggle to apply the same treatment to myself.

Maybe shouting this insecurity of mine from the digital rooftop will help.

My big embarrassing secret as a cosplayer of 15 years is that despite how hard I try not to I still compare myself to others and beat myself up because I don’t look a certain way/ I’m not conventionally attractive, and I don’t have the same resources/skills others may have available to them.

🌙 I wouldn't change a thing ☀️essek x caleb
A much older piece that I'm still fond of. I might need to do some new fanart of campaign 3... It's like a good comfort food for the brain.

Nixed the Jester coat bc i'm already in 3+ layers & don't wanna die, but!! About to head out to the con, hopefully to make the CritRole panel. If not, we'll be at the gathering for sure.

Gonna try and buy more bows today to make this a full decora Jester look 👀

I drew some sort of demon tiger 👀

A blue demon tiger inspired by Kpop Demon Hunter's Derpy Tiger. It might be knocking a potted plant over.

sketchy, lined artworks with a watercolor-looking finish of caleb widogast and essek thelyss. the upper one depicts Caleb kissing Essek's forehead in the infamous boat scene of episode 97. The one at the bottom depicts a scene much later in time, of Essek kissing a elderly Caleb, with white hair braided with colorful flowers, on his forehead - presumibly on his deathbed.

In the one at the bottom, Essek cradles Caleb's hand in his and his kissing the back of it, while Caleb looks at him intensely.

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

A variety of electronics from the late 90s to early 00s with translucent colored plastic cases

Many tears, curse words, and days contemplating myself as a cosplayer later…

Essek’s official coat design is done. Next the belt. (And possibly my sanity)

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

So, who's excited for animated #TheMightyNein? (I'm pumped, cannot wait to see it! )

Here's some old art of hot boy Essek. 💜

“Keep your distance, darling.”

I’m so happy with how much I was able to replicate of the BG3 drow armour! I’ve added the pauldrons (and boots) since the first iteration and it helps tie everything together. I’m also thrilled at how many people recognise the gloves!
