some of you might remember that in my 2023 art summary the september piece was pixeled out due to being part of an unfinished project. this is the painting in question!
it's one third of a series of Essek portraits, inspired by a conversation with @saturdaysky about the universe needing more Esseks wearing fun colors. black & purple is a timeless classic, but i like to think that Hot Boi can and does rock colors outside of what would be considered nude tones for him 🤭
hence,
one of my favorite colors, and one that was a fun challenge to make work with Essek's lavender skin tone. as i was drawing i was thinking of Essek bringing a basket full of fresh peaches from his travels to his partner, and the kitties being the first to greet him as he arrived home 💜
tip jar!
Posting this again because:
A, I’m annoying
And B, i posted it when my settings where fucked up but I spent a lot of time on it and am rly proud of it but like no one saw rip
If u are seeing this again I apologize for being mildly irritating.
sometimes i take a look at your guys's favorite dripping wet repressed middle aged blorbos and honestly? i think the right foster cat could fix them
my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help
I love how so many trans men (especially gay trans men) in the Critical role fandom have collectively decided that Orym is our blorbo. We all just took one look at him and were like, "Ah yes, this is the ideal of masculinity we aspire to." One that involves flowers and gentleness and fierce protection of those he cares about.

[started out as a quick speedpaint and,, suddenly several hours had passed and it was animated?? oops]

Her new look is absolutely gorgeous and terrifyingly detailed

i've drawn eight billion Esseks but never my version of his shadowhand outfit that he wore when tm9 first met him, so i watched his intro ep to get the description and was like an elaborate mantle? YEAH YOU WANNA SEE HOW ELABORATE?
