I love the skekses. They were the best characters in the movie and the series. XD

SkekGra was well known for being the most beautiful of the skekses, the most talented on the sword for his stillness (?) Just a silly headcanon

[moonstar-of-the-south]

Name: SkekAli

Race: Skeksis

Age: 980 Years Old

Sex: Intersex

Gender: Woman

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Occupation: The Star Gazer A.K.A. the Astronomer for the Skeksis Empire

Bio: After the Great Division, SkekAli lived the first few years of her life wild and carefree just like the other skekses. She soon had a great fascination with the stars and planets. Because of this, SkekAli grew rather close to SkekTek. However her closest friend was SkekCen. They were known to go adventuring and making plans to become legends.

Even though many of the skekses caught her eye, there was one skeksis that stood out from the rest. Whenever they would be near each other, they're eyes would glow startling pink and symbols would glow on their hands. Even if SkekAli didn't have these signs, she knew deep down they were made for each other. However something happened to her lover and soon the Star Gazer forgot about him. She now spends her days flirting her way into favor, messing with SkekCen, and tending to her work.

El cristal encantado: La era de la resistencia

Es una precuela de la película de 1982, actualmente el concepto del oscurecimiento se puede interpretar como un desastre ecológico.

Un grupo de gelfings descubre el secreto detrás del poder de los skekses y emprende un viaje para intentar salvar el mundo.

Al igual que en la película original, la serie está hecha con marionetas.

Research: The Dark Crystal

Description: On a fictional planet, the damaged Dark Crystal marks the onset of the age of chaos. 

If the crystal is not healed during the great conjunction of the three suns, the evil Skekses will rule forever.

What are skeksis: The Skeksis are a fictional species that serves as the main antagonists in the 1982 film The Dark Crystal and its related franchise. 

The word "Skeksis" serves as both singular and plural form for this species, with the singular being pronounced and the plural.

What are the urRu: The urRu, more commonly known as Mystics, were a race of natural wizards that lived during the Age of Division. 

Like the Skeksis, they were offshoots of the urSkeks, personifying their wisdom and spirituality, but lacking their passion and innovation.

What did I learn from this: From knowing the dark crystal from my childhood the devision of skeksis and mystics is a very interesting approach because of a life form relying on each other to stay together but using veracity in my species will be a great aproach for the fauna side of the project.

MARS DAWN RESEARCH...

2012s ark, they resemble the style of a cruise ship that is designed to combat the harsh icey waters of Antarctica or any cold sea climate, it's got a sci-fi theme to it as well looks like a ship off of Star Citizen. (A video game about space)

The USSCS Alien Covenant ship was designed to fit 2000 colonists and 1,140 embryos, the purpose of that vessel was to scout out new planets to call home

Two by two animation style is has low quality animated characters and is very childlike in its animation, but that's the intended style so I can let that go, but the animals themselves are quick and have a slight cartoonist style to them.

Catastrophes...

The moon makes are planet more liveable by maintaining our planets wobble on its axis which leads to a more stable climate, it also causes tide's by leading it using it's gravity. The moon supports the wobble of the earth using it's gravity to stabilise the Earth in its orbit.

Unreal and real animals...

Examples of real and real animals are the chigeon or pickons (chicken and a pigeon) it was believed that seeing this animal back in the day would have meant u lost Ur sight, Beefalo (cow and a bison) a big fluffy cow designed to survive cold climates and bred to have better quality meat, and Lygers or leopon (Lion and leopard) these creatures are rare and can only be artificially bred, they have the usual characteristics of a lion's mane mixed with the spotted pattern of a leopard.

Behemoth... A behemoth is referred to as being a big unstoppable force of God's chaos and usually takes the form of something big scary and with horns. In the Bible Behemoth, in the Old Testament is a powerful, grass-eating animal whose “bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron” (Job 40:18). Among various Jewish legends, one relates that the righteous will witness a spectacular battle between Behemoth and Leviathan in the messianic era and later feast upon their flesh.

The Tundra...

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool.

Apocalyptic landscape art

Bottomland...Flat land along a river, lying a few feet above normal high water, often consisting of alluvial deposits and naturally fertile. It's very ideal for plant life growth since it has most things needed for flora to grow and other creatures to prosper.

THE DARK CRYSTAL...

The dark crystal is a fictional Jim Henson film, "on a fictional planet, the damaged Dark Crystal marks the onset of the age of chaos. If the crystal is not healed during the great conjunction of the three suns, the evil Skekses will rule forever"

"The Gelfling are a race of elf-like creatures native to the planet of Thra. The term Gelfling derives from the term "Ghel-lflainngk" roughly translates to "those who live without knowledge of the future," according to The World of the Dark Crystal documentary." In the film the Gelfling is a boy who is accompanied by another Gelfling with wings so that they could put back the shard of the dark crystal.

"The Skeksis are a fictional species that serves as the main antagonists in the 1982 film The Dark Crystal and its related franchise. The word "Skeksis" serves as both singular and plural form for this species, with the singular being pronounced and the plural." The skeksis themselves are the rulers of the world Thra in the film and take on the appearance of a big ugly bird most time's, they guard the dark crystal and in the film are greedy, disloyal and basically just bad.

"The urRu, more commonly known as Mystics, were a race of natural wizards that lived during the Age of Division. Like the Skeksis, they were offshoots of the urSkeks, personifying their wisdom and spirituality, but lacking their passion and innovation." The mystics were the literal opposite of the skeksis having a more clean and docile look to them, and In the end of the film the two join together Into a type of tree alien.

Brian Froud art...

His work consists of mystical tree people, that also have fairies, goblins, gremlins and dwarfs, basically a bunch of creatures that would look like they could be from the medieval period.

Day 1- Proud

I joined SkekLa's challenge on DeviantArt the Skektember! https://www.deviantart.com/skekla/art/SKEKTEMBER-Challenge-889665890 (I invite you to have a look at it).

The first theme was "Proud" so naturally I thought of SkekTek and his beloved Sidetic <3 I wanted to illustrate a scene after the terrible punishment of the peeper bettle and see how our Scientist recovered

[morethanafanstuff]

Let's appreciate how beautiful Thra is. And the fact that most of this is handmade.

Not gonna lie: The dark crystal age of Resistance is the best Netflix Original in my humble opinion.

Inktober 52 - Week 24 - ‘Puppet’

Here is SkekGra  and urGoh from ‘The dark crystal: age of resistance’ having some fun with a variety of puppets. The characters are far more detailed but I simplified them for the sake of this image.

The dragon and pink worm puppet are based on ones I found in charity shops in the past and now adorn my desk.  I’m a terrible puppeteer by the by.

I’ve named this guy Mistopholies.

And this one is called ‘Ray’. 83
