finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast
a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below. Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side. the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames. above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

*draws cartoons like one of your live action movies*

i'm still and forever on that Kryn Drow Are Bug Elves train, so i absolutely had to redraw that beautiful shot with my version of kryn armor!

#CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRole #MightyNein
a semi-realistic painterly re-draw of a still from Mighty Nein Animated, depicting Caleb Widogast kneeling in the foreground and looking up at Essek Thelyss, who has just landed on a pile of debris further into the composition, his silhouette stark against the night sky. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a dark cloak, a patched-up coat underneath it and a long scarf. he is mostly turned away from the viewer, but surprise is clear on his face. Essek is an elf, which is apparent from his long pointed ears, but his body is otherwise obscured. he is depicted wearing dark shiny armor, organic and insectoid in its design. the helmet looks like the face of a cricket, with large glowing almond-shaped eye holes and spiky horns reminiscent of a stag beetle's. the breastplate looks like a beetle's elytra, and the slightly translucent iridescent double cape whipping in the wind behind him appears to be similar to an earwig's fan-like wings. the characters are framed with the remains of a destroyed wall and the floor above, and the night's starry sky looks light in comparison to their shaded figures.

it occurred to me i never drew these two together so i turned an excuse to draw Essek's animated design into an excuse to draw Shadowgast LOL

it was high time i painted another good old portrait of our favorite fancy guy Essek Thelyss!

#art #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #EssekThelyss
digital portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, looking at the viewer with a barely-there soft smile and keen eyes, his hands folded in front of his chest. he is a young-looking dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair. he has chiseled features with prominent cheekbones and nose, a sharp jawline, thick eyebrows and violet eyes; his upper lip is asymmetric, the right half being noticeably taller than the left. he is wearing sharp teal eyeliner on his lower eyelids. his hair is artfully pinned back, some strands swirling into two small buns and the rest curling onto his shoulders. he is dressed in a thick voluminous black cloak, the sleeves folding at the bend of his elbows, revealing slightly longer straight wide sleeves with dusky mauve embroidery, reminiscent of the internal structure of ammonite shells; these sleeves in turn reveal another pair of long tight sleeves, with denser embroidery. on top of his robes, he is wearing a piece of decorative organic-looking armor consisting of a short breastplate and pauldrons. they are perlescent white, and the ridges and long spikes curving up off of his shoulders are similar to the shapes of conch shells. the painting utilizes a limited color palette of dusky purples, mauve, grays and pale green.

M9 chara art mimic for Wren (💜🧡 fankid & my Tav)
#themightynein #mightynein #cr #criticalrole #shadowgast #fankid #bg3 #bg3tav
A mimic of the Mighty Nein animation official character art promotional images, where the full body design is shown. Wren is an androgynous-to-masculine half-drow around the same height as Essek is when standing on the ground, and his lean build resembles Bren's during his time at the Soltryce Academy. He wears lightly reinforced leather armor in the Kryn style, with a crossbow quiver strapped to his right thigh. He has short, choppy hair that is a lighter ginger than Caleb's and which fades to an ashy blond at the tips. He also has pale golden eyes and freckled lavender skin.
