Everyone thank Luis Carazo for giving us teary eyed men with the biggest wettest eyes every time he plays on Critical Role
so essentially…
Ummm I know I’m like a year late to the party but Zerxus except it’s all based off of expressions Luis made during the show
Zerxus, you pull the true heart of the Lord of the Hells into Exandria.
The moment I heard this in the Exandria Unlimited: Calamity finale, I started scrambling for references. I drew this based on Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.
Been a while since I've done CR fanart, but I'm halfway thru the last episode of and I just had to draw something. Whiiich ended up being a whole sketchpage of Zerxus Ilerez....>.> (My other Critical Role Fanart) (Find me on Twitter) Uncolored Drawing Below
You believed. And that is not a fault.
the more i think about it the more i realize that zerxus' situation is like so much more fucked up if we add elias' appearance in the situation
luis confirmed some part of zerxus did fall for asmodeus, but also mixed with convoluted paternal love, which sounds bad but it also makes sense when we take into consideration that while asmodeus pretty much looked like an uncanny valley version of his dead husband, that is also probably what zerxus envisions elias to look like especially when he grows up
there's that love and longing he felt for evandrin that he felt when died, and then there's also another form of that love and longing he felt for elias that he felt when they became closed off to each other
adding to that: he missed so much of elias and the last time he saw him, he was just a little kid who needed guidance and protection. then when he saw asmodeus, he exuded this energy of a need for someone to help him (dare i say a child-like helplessness and innocence)
for zerxus to be subconsciously battling between seeing evandrin and then seeing the son he feared he wouldn't see growing up before his eyes
the idea of him being torn between this demonic image of his husband AND his son, both being the most beautiful people he's ever known, and to see that face and those features on the literal devil himself must have been a wild ride for him
