Got a request for Essek on tumblr and took that opportunity to draw to draw #EssekThelyss and #JesterLavorre hugging like Matt and Laura at the end of this video: tumblr.com/captainofthetidesbreath/800745362462818304/ #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

Another Malevola doodle! #myart #dispatch #malevola #fanart

No one gets me hyped more for @criticalrole.bsky.social and now the Mighty Nein on Prime than @tales-of-exandria.bsky.social / @nerdish.bsky.social She is truly the people’s princess of the Critical Role fandom/creatives and is the brightest light in this community. 🌹🌸🌷🌻

"Do I agree with everything that I’ve been asked to do? No. Do I think about it? Do I lament? Do I see the faces of the people I’ve watched expire at my own hand? All the time...." Astrid @matthewmercer.bsky.social talking to Caleb @voiceofobrien.bsky.social

Julien my beloved (I wanna put him in a blender) <3 #CriticalRoleFanart #CriticalRoleCampaign4 #CriticalRole

A wonderful bean gave us foxes at renfaire and gifted us these cute foxesss! This is also…..my favorite picture of us. So thank you!! 😭♥️♥️♥️

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast

Decided to make a wedding outfit for Essek. #criticalrolefanart #crspoilers #essekthelyss #wedding

someone in the tags on tumblr said Thimble should have a hammock on Tyranny's horns and i simply had to draw it

Walked by some trick or treaters and a woman handing out candy shouted at me, a 5ft 31 year old “wait you’re short! do you want some candy???” Happy Halloween I guess

rushing to the other side #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleCampaign4

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!) #nycc #criticalrolecosplay #criticalrole Essek belongs to the wonderful @matthewmercer.bsky.social for @criticalrole.bsky.social

The #shadowgast Aeorian expedition morning preparations. (wow i managed to finish a wip)

Dunamis?? In your brain??? This Ashton was incredible! If you know them please let me know!! #nycc  #NYCC2025 #criticalrole #CriticalRoleCosplay

Basically how I've been internalizing it lol

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

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 👀 #sacanime #criticalrole

I drew some sort of demon tiger 👀 #artpost

First kiss, last kiss, and some in between. (this was actually from 2021 and for some reason I never posted it anywhere?? anyway here have it) #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole #shadowgast #KuroArt

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"

season 1 vs. season 7

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) #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleCosplay

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” 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. 💜 #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #themightynein #M9

“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! #bg3 #baldursgate3 #astarion

I don’t wanna see any fake fans speak when essek does bad shit and is a bad person for most of the show that is what we are hERE FOR

i had to sketch him real quick before bed or it would have been a no sleep kind of scenario for me #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #EssekThelyss

Honestly what most of us are feeling

The last time I seen my brother. The last time I seen the sun. Just for a few hours, we was free. #Sinners

"too many people have main character syndrome" not me. i love being an npc. just idly standing around, watching the birds. oh you going on a quest? can you bring me back something

Update ✨

Washing up after his salad 🥗🛁

I put myself together today ☺️

I wanted to challenge myself and put a little more effort into drawings than I have lately and this is the result! #CalebWidogast #EssekThelyss #Shadowgast #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

today i bring to you: illustrating the wizards talking the only way they can talk #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast

You can't go back, darling The time has come for moving on... #CriticalRoleFanart
