SkekSa has my favorite palette out of all the skeksis. Not to mention, she is a beautiful floofskek.

Captain skekSa: a bonus art-bust gift for Miss Maria; this is the extra I drew as a personalised prize to go along with her commission of Reina the Gelfling, her O.C.

Sometimes all you need is a hug ~

I've been wanting to animate Seraphim for a while now, but her design is kind of intimating and I didn't know if I could handle the wings movement. This one is not perfect, still have a lot to improve and learn from my mistakes, but I'm very proud of myself :> Very happy to be able to show this animation done and give Seraphim more emotions. Concerning her design I had to simplify it and make the colors a bit brighter in order to see everything correctly.

some progress :>

I don't have CSP Pro, so I can only animate 1 second at a time. I then put all the different parts on DaVinci and check if everything works

"Theopolis, maintain your temper. Your clothes are just as flammable as theirs." -Jo probably (not)

Revenge for @echinacea-art, who drew her character in Amaranthine's setting, so I flipped it and made poor Michael and Joan deal with Tudor-ized versions of my awful aristocrats.

Lord Ambrose has made a no-doubt well-intentioned but perhaps not so well-executed remark that Lord North took poorly (which could be anything, given his ill temper), and their respective Lady Jos must step in to negotiate for their male relatives who are, perhaps, not very well suited for this whole delicate court politicking thing.

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”

Hot Writers Don't Gatekeep

the writers REALLY liked my artist resource post, so I thought i'd give y'all my dragon hoard of things i use for writing

Reverse Dictionary, you type in the meaning of a word, and it gives you a bunch of words that mean that. (MY MOST IMPORTANT OFFERING IN THIS LIST)

Slang Dictionary, what it says on the tin.

Anglish Translator, Anglish is if English evolved without borrowing from other languages and it really itches my brain (Anglish is if english grown without borrowing from other languages and it truly itches my brain)

Incorrect Quotes Generator, Put character names in, and incorrect quotes come out. Really fun way to goof around with your characters' dynamics.

Handspeak, an ASL dictionary

Library of Babel, Odds are, the finished version of your wip is in here somewhere

The best fantasy map maker i have ever used

Glitch Text Generator is one I use A Lot, dose ť̷̨̢͓̤͔̤̤̝̺̯̄̔̄̌̄͗͒͋͂͋͝ḩ̵̼̜͍͚͕̏̓͊̈̉̆̄͐́͗͒̈̃̊̚͜i̵̻̐̇̎̏̀̋̌̃̇̿͘̚s̴̮̔̂̇͒͑͝͝ͅ to your text

Totally not bootleg microsoft office

Emotions Thesaurus a guide for writing emotions and their associated body language

Mythcreants, has a whole bunch of stuff you can read to learn more about the technical aspects of writing

A decent article talking about what to think about when creating a language

Trope Talks, particularly good for beginner and younger writers or people who have a hard time reading. Honestly this whole channel is a fantastic format to get information into my adhd rattled brain.

FOR MY AO3 BESTIES! Postimages will host your image forever so you can embed it into your work

Ambient Chaos, sometimes the only thing in the world that can kick your brain into writing mode is nuclear sirens and lofi beats

Radioooooo, play a station from any place and year. Particularly helpful for period pieces.

Venerable in the Eternal Eclipse

Beautiful commission from @skekla! I'm so happy with how this one turned out. The lighting is amazing! I've been wanting to do another big lore post, but that has been keeping me from uploading this picture, so here's a lore nugget instead.

My Arhulian is basking in the perpetual twilight of their home world. Their "sun" has a dark purple-black photosphere, thus most of their worlds light comes from their sun's corona, moon, and starlight.

The venerable Arhulian in the focus of the piece radiates psionic energy to the point they manifest a corona of their own (A halo to the layman). As well as portions of their fur are beginning to turn white in a process known as "star bleaching".

Arhulians are not much ones for clothes due to their unusual anatomy, especially ornamental garments. So this one must be dressed for a special occasion!

Fantastic design!

SkekMar the Taxidermist as a revenge for Nell_of_Destruction 💀

How could I not draw at least one Skeksis for AF 🫡

A quick indulgent doodle of a bunny man taking a break from work. (Now I need to get back to work myself!)

Thank you all so very much for all these likes!

I didn't think I would hit this milestone so soon and I'm both grateful and humbled.

I will give my best to keep bringing you some Dark Crystal art and a lot more fantasy and creature drawings as well!

Arhulian Poster!

Hey @skekla I adored your commission work. I still have a big lore post to to do to accompany the latest commission I got when I upload the image proper, but I want to tell you your art is beautiful! I had a friend of mine print me a huge 3x4 poster of it on metallic foil paper that makes those neon colors and silvers pop. I wish my camera were as good as what the eyes see!

You can even see that I stuck the poster to the wall via magnets and metal strips, as tape and pins would harm the paper, and a frame that big is not in my budget. So metal strips and magnets it is.

Hi there! I've been around on the internet for a really long time (along with my Dark Crystal fanart and fantasy art in general) and joining Tumblr is something I never really did and was dearly recommended to. Here I am, hoping you'll all enjoy my art ramblings, sculpts and illustrations! For now, I'll leave this little watercolor drawing of The Chamberlain over here-hoping he'll make you smile! See you soon with more!

[skekdris]

Here's my 5th SkekTember drawing from 2023! (With further little details into my Fan-character's life, personality and alliances!)

SkekTember, day 5 : The one they fear.

If you'd ask the Illustrator, she would have told you that SkekUng, the Garthim-Master, was not someone you would want to get mad at you. And this would only be her discreet way of saying that she found him terrifying.

An enemy to her allies, the strongest of the court and with a very short temper, the loud and boisterous Garthim-Master never failed to make skekLa cower and quickly seek for a way to dodge any possible interaction with him.
