Hi.

i feel like no amount of labeling and marie kondo-ing their cottage would stop Essek and Caleb's dinner table from becoming a research table as well

as promised, a new round of essek having a Time in aeor

(mild cr c3 spoilers up to ep102)

i have finally watched episode 94! welcome back hot boy 💜

y'all might know that i am a staunch supporter of short haired Essek, so when i learned about his new hairstyle i went mmmmm not sure about that! but it took me like. two and a half hours to change my mind. it's cool to experiment with your appearance! the dude deserves some cute fancy curls, as a treat. also zmeess you've been growing out your hair from a buzz cut for years, now he's just like you fr or whatever the kids say.

so yeah, i support you man, you go and dazzle everyone with your fabulous Xhorhassian looks

tip jar!

a while back i saw a picture @mllekurtz took in the gardens of Villa Taranto and really wanted to do a little study of it. then inserting everyone's favorite wizards into the potential picture was suggested, so naturally i no longer had any other choice but to go through with it. it truly looked like a dreamy garden somewhere in Exandria and the wizards fit in too well 🤌

shadowgast kiss meme: hand kiss ✨

i know y'all said to make it spicy, but something happened along the way, and i didn't. hope you will still enjoy some desperate hand kisses!

starting off my shadowgast kiss meme with a cheek kiss 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Essek was the leader of the cheek kiss poll for a good while, but right at the end Caleb took off and won by just ten votes! the whole poll made me think that i can easily picture Essek defaulting to cheek kisses rather than kisses on the lips as an expression of romantic affection, and i also chuckled a bit at the thought that Caleb going for a demure cheek kiss rather than some mouth-on-mouth action when they said goodbye at the Grove might have even scored him some brownie points with Essek 🤭

also while i was working on this one i was reminded of the first shadowgast picture i ever drew, which was also Caleb kissing Essek on the cheek! it was very fun to compare the two and see that the way i draw the wizards hasn't changed much at all. i really had a clear picture of them in mind from the start didn't i LOL

i think not drawing chibi shadowgast after drawing chibi Essek and chibi Caleb would have been considered a felony somewhere

including, but not limited to, a discord request to draw chibi Caleb, and i quote, "running into the sea chibiwilly-out"

on a more serious note, if you, like me, are an artist that mainly works in semi-realistic styles, i greatly recommend trying out drawing something exaggeratedly cute. been really healing my brain and heart

including but not limited to:

Essek enjoying cauliflower soup

Essek wearing this Elie Saab look

Essek casting Dark Star on broccoli (because it's evil)

Essek from this very serious painting of mine making the >:3 face

here's the deal lads: in the span of two weeks i got ill with covid, lost half of a tooth, accidentally set my bed on fire and had to have my phone repaired with mediocre results. i NEEDED something light in my truly comical life, and drawing tiny Esseks has been a blast. i hope you enjoy them too (he meeps when you pick him up)
