Sorry to vent on main but I'm just so sick of being a grown-ass adult online who can't openly enjoy talking about or drawing sex stuff even in completely adult spaces where all minors are completely banned just because everyone has gotta be such fascist controlling fucking babies about it

Story from Bunshun Online. JP headline: 「このまま見殺しにするんですか！」姿を消した50代のオタクを探して神奈川のアパート、新宿の病院、警察まで走り回った人気レースクイーン（20）を待っていた“衝撃の結末”

20yo race queen Takahashi Nanase has seven male fans - "The Seven Otaku", ages 46 to 68 - who attend all her events.

One day, one of the 50s-ish men, A, failed to show up for a radio guest appearance with her. Which was out of character.

So Takahashi went searching for him.

This is the first page of a multi-panel 12 page comic strip by saucypaws, featuring two anthropomorphic female characters: Pepper, a shorter, curvy calico cat with short hair, and Whitney, a taller, athletic horse girl with longer hair. Both characters are getting ready to go out somewhere and are wearing just their underwear. The comic aims to depict a tender moment relating to body image and insecurity. Pepper is standing in front of a full-length mirror, looking at herself while holding up a green velvet strapless dress as if she is unsure whether or not she wants to put it on or not. We see a close up of her face and she is clearly very unhappy. Suddenly, a very alarmed Whitney comes rushing in: "Shoot!" she exclaims. "What time is it?" - the two of them must be late for something...

Drawing of Dragon!Jon and Knight!Martin sharing a stone bath in a private room of a bathhouse. Jon is settled against Martin's side while their tail is laid over his leg and wrapped around his cock, stroking him beneath the steaming water. Martin is holding onto Jon tight, biting his lip to keep his sounds in so as not to let his moans leak out and give away what is going on in their room to anyone who could be outside.

When giving your knight a bath, make sure he's comfortable and to scrub him thoroughly ❤️

Also got a bonus writing snippet to go with this art on my ao3: archiveofourown.org/works/667683...

a comic where someone draws their otp and then eats the drawing

every day i feel like this picture

i think more people should draw

even if you think your art sucks

even if you dont know what youre doing

even if you have friends you envy

even if you only have pencils and paper

even if you dont draw regularly

even if you dont wanna call yourself an artist

just have fun and doodle

Meme, upper text: The Myth of Artistic Freedom Man says: I want to draw it Woman says: I want to see it MasterCard and Visa logos say: I DON'T! Bottom text: ISN'T THERE SOME RANDOM PAYMENT PROCESSOR YOU FORGOT TO ASK?

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

digital drawing of Essek and Verin Thelyss from Critical Role as children. they look to be around eight or ten years old and are dressed in lightweight summer clothing with geometric cuts and accessories that children of noble drow upbringing might wear. they both have pointy ears and curly hair; Verin's is very long and braided into twin plaits, while Essek's is relatively short and sits like a cloud atop his head, with more closely shorn sides. Verin is giving Essek a piggyback ride, his hands hooked under Essek's legs, with Essek's arms wrapped around Verin's shoulders. Essek is missing a shoe on his right foot, and the ankle is swollen and bruised; his right knee, visible from under the torn hole in his pants, is badly scraped. they're both glaring in the same direction off screen, Essek with his shoulders raised and barely hidden tears in his eyes, and Verin with a frowning and serious expression, ready to protect his big brother.

you might remember a rather racy painting i did of Caleb helping Essek into a fancy outfit, as well as it inspiring @luddleston.bsky.social to write an even racier fic, which prompted me to illustrate it.
guess what, the fancy wizards saga is not over 😎 link to ludd's fic in replies!

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is depicted as a slender drow with lavender skin and curly white hair that reaches past his chin, while Caleb is a light-skinned bearded human of average build, with ginger hair that is brushed back and is straighter than Essek's, but is of a similar length. they're both dressed in comfortable clothes: simple trousers and shirts, Caleb's sleeves messily rolled up, exposing the regularly spaced long-healed scars on his forearms, and Essek wearing an elegant house robe over his lounge clothes, its split sleeves too showing his naked arms. Essek is sitting down, while Caleb stands behind him, one of Caleb's hands resting on Essek's shoulder, and Essek reaching up and touching Caleb's hand with his fingertips. they are both relaxed and smiling gently in a slightly shaded room painted in tones of brown; behind them is an open window, showing soft blue and pink sky, the sun lighting the edges of their shoulders and hair.

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is a young-looking slender drow with dusky lavender skin, white freckles, and short curly blond hair. he is dressed in wide pleated pants, a long-sleeved turtleneck and a wide-necked shirt with shorter wider sleeves over it, as well as platform sandals and a sunhat, all in the shades of black. over his outfit he is wearing a mint green apron with a pattern of teapots, teacups and plants on it, cinched at his waist with a leather belt. there is a leather bag and a book at his hips, a large red rose and other plants in his apron pocket, and rose-patterned gardening gloves on his hands. he is standing with one hand on his hip, and fanning himself with a small gray fan in the other hand. his posture exudes an air of exasperation, and he has a displeased expression on his face.

saw @lakrisrot.bsky.social's gardener Essek cosplay and it was so cute that i had to draw it 🤭

digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, styled like character concept art and depicting him wearing two outfits. he looks the same in both depictions: as a slender young-looking drow with lavender skin and short white wavy hair, standing and propping a book against his side. the first outfit consists of a close-fitting teal shirt, with elaborate voluminous sleeves ending in bracer-like cuffs, a high collar, and ginkgo leaves embroidered in brown thread; tight dark-brown leggings made of reflective fabric, and grayish-green boots with lacing in the back and metallic tips. the second picture depicts a few outer layers worn over the first outfit. there is a sleeveless long brown coat visible in the opening of his cloak, worn with a wide layered sash sitting high on his waist. the cloak itself is a dark purple, edges decorated with fur, with arm openings in the sides. over the cloak, he is wearing an armor-like decorative shoulder and chest piece, iridescent white in color.

a commission for @tuskteefs.bsky.social, who requested a full-render front view of Essek's outfit from a shadowbren drawing of mine, as a two-year anniversary gift and cosplay reference for @birdverbatim.bsky.social! happy anniversary, and thank you for commissioning me!

#criticalrolefanart

several expression studies of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, based on in-game roleplay. in all of them he is depicted as a young-looking drow with short curly hair, slicked back on one side, and a shoulder and chest decorative armor piece, reminiscent of beetle carapace. he is smirking, looking up in contemplation, frowning, casting a spell with an elegant flick of his wrist. in one sketch, he is laughing with a radiant smile, saying "I'd like to see you try!". in another, he is leaning forward with a pleased smile, thanking an off-screen Jester, who is saying "I really think that you're very handsome". in yet another sketch, he has a complicated expression on his face that is a mixture of annoyance and resignation; his hands are folded in front of his chest in a pleading gesture and his speech bubble reads "There would be nothing I would love more than to not be around you all".

finally finished my early Essek expression studies! i adore Essek's expressiveness and his shadowhand mask is a whole separate flavor of that expressiveness

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, utilizing lines in a gradient from pale blue-green to dark purple. they're both naked, lounging in bed with Caleb resting his head on the pillows placed in Essek's lap; Caleb's right hand is interlocked with Essek's left on Caleb's chest, and he's is looking up at Essek with a quietly love-struck expression. Essek is depicted as a young-looking slender drow, with small pointed ears and shoulder-length curly hair falling over one shoulder. Caleb is a thin and wiry bearded human in his forties; his messy graying hair is splayed over the pillow and Essek's right forearm that is resting around Caleb's head, the hand touching Caleb's freckled shoulder slightly. Caleb has regularly spaced horizontal scars running down both forearms. the hand that is not locked with Essek's is lying on top of a thick tome next to him, closed.

i've been having tons of fun drawing Essek's fancy pinned up hair in my recent expression studies, but that led me to wanting to draw Essek with his hair down, which in turn spiraled into soft domestic cuddles. what else am i supposed to do when Essek is being so extraordinarily married
