Do not buy/pre-order the Jim Henson’s the Dark Crystal: Card Game.

I am going to make this a separate post because this is important. Please reblog this to spread awareness.

Most of the art for the card game are referenced from official material, however some of the characters (skekSa, urSan, and skekLi) were based on fanworks. The most egregious of these is the skekSa design.

While her head is based on her illustration from Tides of the Dark Crystal, the body is blatantly taken from artist SkeptiBee without their permission (I have contacted the artist to verify this).

(Art by SkeptiBee)

As you can see, it's nearly an exact copy save for the gemstone on her neck and the netting.

SkekLi and urSan were likely inspired by people's fanarts. UrSan's color scheme seems to be inspired by my depiction of her but with a more saturated color scheme.

SkekLi's in particular (the one with the orange and red stripes I'm assuming) seems to be a mishmash of different people's designs, but if you simply google skekLi you can clearly see who the artist took the concepts from. EDIT: Forgot to include skekLi's card, my apologizes.

EDIT 2: Let me clarify that the purpose of the two previous examples are showing a pattern of the card artist using fan work. This is not me claiming that the card artist stole them.

As a reminder, urSan and skekLi don't have official colored designs outside of book descriptions. SkekSa, on the other hand, has a design in the Mayrin arc comics so there is no reason for the artist to be using someone's fan design.

It's very clear that the artist who made the art for the cards googled the characters, but didn't do their due diligence in making sure what is official work and what isn't. It's horrible when someone's fanart is being used by companies for profit.

EDIT 3: Because I see people keep liking this post, the company thankfully canceled the product and took it off their site.

So it’s a bit of Skeksis lore that they lost some vital attribute when they split from the urRu that hampers their chosen area of expertise

It’s most obvious with the Scientist where he’s got enough smarts to do mad science but struggles with coming up with ideas on his own. Once someone points him in a direction, he can get going.

Which is a good segue to skekSa the Mariner since I’m pretty sure she lost any navigational ability to urSan the Swimmer.

urSan’s biggest thing aside from swimming is drawing maps of everywhere she’s been.

In the YA novels that skekSa appeared most in, she needed EVERY Sifan navigator to help her flee the continent. And when that fell through she tried to steal urSan’s maps. (Did urSan swim across an entire ocean? Wow.)

No wonder she prefers living ships. It’s navigational easy mode.

And to take this to comedic exaggeration levels… no wonder she hates the castle! It’s described as labyrinthine in the movie novelization.

I can just imagine her getting lost on the way to dinner one too many times and deciding enough is enough. Screw this castle, she’s going to go live on a boat!

#dark crystal #skeksa #the Mariner #urSan #the swimmer #when skekSa kept running into the plot I’m sure no one was more surprised than her #her only crime was all the crimes and also being born before GPS

🍷 The Dark Crystal

ARGH that's hard because I'm pretty sure I said every unpopular opinion I have about it

Uuuuuuuuuh...

Oh ! I know but...

I am gonna be trampled...

My friends, it is nothing against you guys who chatted with me about it and I listened and laughed and nodded and contributed to ideas ! Not against them either because I love them as characters, really !

But...

SkekMal and SkekSa are not that hot and overrated when it comes to sexiness and if they weren't generically hot fandom characters they wouldn't be as popular as they are, still popular because the former is the only Skeksis in shape who hunts and uses his 4 arms and the latter until recently would like the Sifa as her pets and be adored by them so still something, but not as popular as they are right now

NO BEATING NO BEATING

Inspired by one of @skekheck ‘s @tdc-incorrect-quotes

SkekSa isn’t happy about Ursan’s lack of communication

Allow me to explain why these 5 in particular are in a zoom call together:

skekOk is in charge of rounding up the outsider Skeksis to fight the Gelfling Resistance. He was not prepared to be so easily roasted like the expired Thanksgiving turkey he is.

skekEkt was there because he knew this would result in drama but he didn’t expect the argument to take such a dark turn.

skekLi doesn’t want anything to do with these assholes but answered the call anyway because he also knew there would be a fight and he needed some form of entertainment after sulking alone in the Wilderness for so long.

Despite being blocked skekGra managed to hack into the call to spy on Skeksis conversations for the Gelfling. Everyone but the Mariner was too stupid to realize the random icon wasn’t a glitch until he blew his cover by laughing hysterically because of course he did.

skekSa also answered just to see what would happen and since this is before she turned on the Gelfling herself she doesn’t give a flying fuck about the Emperor’s orders and knows exactly how to get these castle-dwelling bastards to leave her alone.

Okay so a while back I decided to draw all canon skeksis (minus the ones who barely have designs at all). That project is still not finished but over the next few days/weeks I'm gonna post all the ones I've drawn so far!

It was bold of me to start the series with this weird lineless style I don't normally draw in, but hey, here's the Mariner.

[ID: Traditional ink art of various busts of the Skeksis as humans. All of them look old and wrinkled in some way. First image shows SkekSo, SkekSil, SkekAyuk, and SkekSa, SkekSo has a long face with a broad nose covered by his nose clip and his hair covered by his head covers, he looks at the viewer with a judgemental stare. SkekSil has a square shaped face with a large nose and short hair, he has a devious expression. SkekAyuk has a round shaped facr with a round nose and combed back hair, he has a confident and devious smile. SkekSa has a boxy and very rugged face with sideburns and facial hair, she wears her mariner hat and has three nose piercings that go down her large broad and hooked nose, she smiles confidently.

Second image shows SkekVar, SkekZok, SkekEkt, and SkekGra. SkekVar has large rectangular face with a big underbite that juts out two teeth like a pig tusks, he’s wearing his helmet and has a determined expression. SkekZok has a broad square face with big wrinkled cheekbones, he’s wearing his hat and has a stern expression. SkekEkt has a angular face with grandmotherly features and is wearing his hair up in a upwards ponytail, he looks like he’s laughing and wiping away tears. SkekGra has angular face with big cheekbones and a beard and wears head wrappings, he looks manically excited.

Third image shows SkekLach, SkekMal, SkekShod, and SkekTek. SkekLach has a round face and looks like she’s wearing a babushka, she has a large round nose thats covered in pustules, she has a tired expression. SkekMal has a angular face with sharp looking cheekbones and nose, he has a yelling and eager expression. SkekShod looks especially wrinkled and is wearing a babushka-like cloth with jewerlly wrapped above it, he has a grumpy and stern expression. SkekTek has a rectangular head with a long nose, his right eye has a cybernetic implement, he looks shocked and concerned.

Fourth image shows SkekNa, SkekOk, SkekUng, and SkekLi. SkekNa has a rectangular face with buzzcutted hair and wears a eyepatch on his right eye, he has a devious grin. SkekOk has a small face with a long pointy nose and combed over hair, he wears a pair of glasses and a monocle, he has a stern but devious look to him. SkekUng has a angular face with massive sideburns and wild hair, his expression is very ferocious and angry. SkekLi has a broad face with a aquilline nose and a long beard and hair, he looks frustrated and angry.

Fifth image is all the busts together. End ID.]

Wanted to try my hand at drawing all the skeksis as humans, but in a way I personally liked. These are all CRUSTY OLD DUDES and they all smell terrible!!! (Except for SkekEkt and SkekSa, he uses perfumes and she just smells like the sea <3)
