I choose to believe this was applied due to Wax‘s pure and utter animal attractiveness.
Or to quite Lessie: "Maybe you should spend more time with your guns and less with your thing."
Screenshot of my drawing of a fully clothed Wax with the reference from the Pose Archive, in pants, overlaid with the note that this post was classified as sexually suggestive by Bluesky.

#dtpysaug26 Here’s the finished piece! I had a lot of fun with the pose. 😄Revolvers from above look weird though. If anyone knows about reference packs with revolvers/cowboys, please let me know! They’re weirdly hard to find.
Screenshot of the pose from Pose Archives, with my drawing of Waxillium Ladrian in tje same pose next to it, with tje Procreate interface visible. Wax is wearing his Mistcoat with a fine vest and cravat.

@theposearchives.bsky.social ’s pose for the month basically *begged* to be drawn as Waxillium Dawnshot.
And I still need to buy a prop revolver.

The test print of my Mistborn desk mat has come in, and I’m excited! So is Isis. Why is it that cats always have to step on the thing on the floor?
These beauties (the mats, not the kitty) will be in my Etsy shop soon! Sign up for my newsletter to be notified when they go live. jennydolfen.kit.com

Happy belated birthday Mistborn! I love the book series so much and can‘t wait to see it all on the screen.

Digital Illustration of Vin and Wax from Mistborn era 1 and era 2, respectively. Their mistcloaks/coats are intertwined in the middle of the artwork, Vin is looking out over Luthadel to the left, dagger in her hand, as Wax is looking out over Elendel to the right, holding his pistol Vindication up beside his head. Mists curl around them both, tying the two scenes and eras together.

"It was time for Harmony's Sword to do his job."
Watercolour, gouache and Polychromo(s) on Fabriano cold-pressed paper.
Harmony, a godlike figure, and Waxillium Ladrian, lawman senator, from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn books. Harmony, painted in soft pastel warm tones, is standing behind Wax, hands held up in an open gesture, clad in warm-toned robes that form the Terris V patterns on the front. He wears multiple earrings and rings (his metalminds), his expression serene, his bald head slightly bowed. Wax, painted in bolder darks, stands before him and between his hands, his revolver (Vindication) raised beside his head as he looks over his other shoulder in a ready pose. He is wearing his dark Mistcoat, the tassels flying outward in an invisible wind.

Commission of Rlain, for Sara! I just love him. 🧡 🦀
Watercolours on Fuumuui cold-pressed paper.
A watercolour painting, lying next to two watercolour boxes. It shows Rlain from the Stormlight Archive, in war from with his golden-orange carapace covering his head and shoulders. The Bridge Four tattoo sits on the carapace on his forehead, and he’s wearing his blue uniform.

“I ain’t had a bottle of Logshine in years.” The man actually teared up. “You … Rusts, mate. You really do care about me, don’t you?”
“I think it’s time,” he said to Wayne, “that we take a bit of a breather.”

Brandon Sanderson, The Lost Metal
Wayne (left) and Wax from Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn books share a moment sitting in front of a propaganda poster in a city that’s trying to kill them, sharing a beer before they go on to try saving the world. Wayne is in shirt, bowler hat and suspenders; his clothing is riddled with bullet holes which he healed from with Feruchemy. Wax is in his suit and cravat, his iconic Mistcoat tassels dangling over the ledge they’re sitting on. In the background, the skyscraper called The Shaw looms as ominously as an Art Deco building can, searchlights scanning the sky for Coinshots. Mists are rising up from below, marking this as an important night in the events on Scadrial.

I have a new t-shirt. 🌈🎉🤩
A photo of me in the garden, under my husband’s (only slightly decaying) white roses, wearing an off-white hoodie and rocking my new Critical Role Pride Shirt of Dorian Storm, baby!

The Lawman and his Deputy.
Wax and Wayne during their time in the Roughs.
ShinHan Pass hybrid watercolours on Febriano °5 paper.
This watercolor illustration features Wax and Wayne from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series travelling through a sun-drenched savannah on horseback. Waxillium, on the left, sits tall on a dark bay mare, wearing his signature tasseled mistcoat and a wide-brimmed hat. Beside him, Wayne rides a pinto horse, wearing a bowler hat and casual vest, chewing on a length of straw. The background reveals a trio of giraffes grazing near acacia trees against a backdrop of rolling, hazy mountains. The composition uses a profile perspective, emphasizing their steady journey. Muted earth tones, soft blues, and delicate brushwork are used for the serene yet adventurous mood, blending Western aesthetics with the fantasy landscape on era 2 Scadrial.

The cat’s out of the bag! The official Critical Role Pride shirt, featuring Dorian on his steed Coriolis, with subtle bits of Orym and Latin, by yours truly. 🥰🥰🥰 This one’s available in all the CR shops now!

AD: Adrienne Cho. Painted in Procreate.
A shot of the official Critical Role Pride T-shirt for 2026. It’s black, and features Dorian Storm sitting astride his equine dragon Coriolis, wearing the armour of a 15th century knight. He's carrying a banner saying, "How do you want to slay this?”. A green favour with tiny white flowers, obviously given to him by his lover Orym, is tied to his right arm. In the background, fractal letters suggest an illuminated manuscript. The Latin text reads, "amore fiunt homines" - "It's love that makes people."

A digital watercolour illustration of Shallan Davar from Stormlight Archive. She's wearing a green dress and is looking over her shoulder at the viewer with a slight smile. A lily of the valley flower is tucked behind her war.

Wayne. The man, the myth, the legend. Always remember, Ain’t no fellow who regretted giving it one extra shake, but you can bet every guy has regretted giving one too few. 🫡

Finished Era 2. And brought out the actual paints. ShinHan Pass hybrid watercolours on Fabriano paper. #traditionalart
Wayne from Brandon Sanderson‘s Mistborn series, shown in three portraits. Top left, in a closeup of his face. He‘s wearing a dark purple bowler hat and his Roughs duster, a duelling cane casually resting on his shoulder. He looks focused, but is smirking. Lower left/centre, a waist-up shot. He's in shirt-sleeves, grinning, thumbs hooked under the suspenders of his trousers, a darker bowler hat on his head. Right, Wayne at sixteen. He‘s wearing a full Western ensemble, duster, bandana, cowboy hat and revolver. His face is one of utter shock, he‘s crying, the gun slipping from his hand as he‘s just shot a man.

It's like Wayne on your wedding day.
Wax and Steris after their first unsuccessful attempt at marriage. From “The Bands of Mourning” by Brandon Sanderson. Unpopular opinion: I love Mistborn Era 2 three times as much as Era 1.
Wax and Steris, from Brandon Sanderson's Bands of Mourning, sit dejectedly on the dais of a flooded church. Both are in white wedding attire. Wax is wringing the water from his handkerchief, looking down in frustration and helplessness. Steris sits upright, arms folded, starting straight ahead in a thousand-yard-stare. Behind them, water still drips down from the ceiling, and the altar, graced with a bas relief of the Survivor in a Mistcloak and pierced by a spear, bears the wreckage of a flower arrangement.

I fixed up an old Hoid doodle! And by “fix,” I don’t mean I got rid of the ridiculous outfit 😁
It was also a fun excuse to play with @jennydolfen.bsky.social’s watercolor brushes!

Wax and Wayne, from “Shadows of Self” by Brandon Sanderson. Yep, Wax looks like @matthewmercer.bsky.social . It’s canon.
In this two-panel comic, Wax and Wayne standing front of a car in the street (sketched in the background). Wayne is seen talking to someone off-panel, telling them to stay behind and be safe. In the second panel, Wax, with a long-suffering expression, tells Wayne to stop talking to his hat - which Wayne is revealed to be holding.

My Big Gouache Brushpack is here! I spent almost a year honing it, and the result is so much fun to use. Experience almost 80 brushes with loads of wet-media effects, textures and quick landscape hacks, two paper templates, and pointers on creating great digital art that feels like the real thing!

Constable Earstripe. I’m currently reading the „Saint of Steel“ series by T. Kingfisher. It has romance, hilarity, absurdity, horror, and badgerfolk, a.k.a. gnoles!
I’m also working on a gouache brushset for Procreate, which this was made with. =)
Digital gouache painting Constable Earstripe from T.Kingfisher‘s Saint of Steel Series. He is a gnole (essentially, badgerfolk), and is bipedal and clad in leather armour and carrying a spear.

“The skies are mine”

My favourite Kaladin I've ever painted. 🩵🩵🩵
Procreate, done with a new gouach-y brushset I’m putting together.
Kaladin soaring into the skies, accompanied by Syl, who stands in the air above him and looks down on him. He’s smiling up at her. He holds a spear in his hand, there are wind-blown dark clouds around him, the Shattered Plains are visible below.
