Found this beautiful comic in a flea market type store… so cool. Can’t wait to read it! Anyone else have this bad boy in their collections?

I tried to do a drawing of a mystic in 2024 but I gave up, this was the drawing.

It was not my finest work buy I like it

idk I was bored hope you like it

Strange geometry was never a problem when one could calculate the best gap in time, or where to step to avoid collision with your future self. Time and space were one entity after all, as far as SkekTak was concerned - and ever would they be servants beneath her touch and tender care. She who wanted the lost city of Carcosa.

Lake hall had been a beautiful view for one as twisted in mind and soul as a skeksis, but greater still was the city where clouds broke against the shoals, this city of Carcosa.

Empty had the streets seemed, but for the playing of music she caught herself humming even as her feet carried her bloodily over different alleys and archways and a turn of rust that made even her sick - for no spot in this city was at a right angle, this was strange, in the wonderous city of Carcosa.

Skektak rested and watched three moons rise and burn like fever as the towers stretched up behind them, like fingers of a dead god and bleached bone white by the bright moonlight that left even her dizzy to stare too long. Such was the way of Lost Carcosa.

But she had an appointment yet to keep, for an invitation had come to her tower in the morning by the great king of this lost city, clad in the tattered yellow of his robe. An invitation to his play, at the temple complex itself. Sure would be a fool to miss it, for the second act was said to be insane. But that was how it was, in the city of lost Carcosa.

Drawn by my best friend, Artclown on FA.

I've loved the design and after years finally got someone to put to ink the image in my head for years.

It was so awesome to find this vhs treasure at a flea market, I feel so blessed!

Was digging through some old photos and found some this community might enjoy. In 2020 I was lucky enough to catch the Dark Crystal exhibit at the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts. I’m pretty sure the exhibit itself is long gone but if you ever find yourself in the area this museum is definitely worth the stop as they have a bunch of amazing things on display.

Dibujo rápido de deet y brea

got to see the crystal of Truth prop from the show in person today.

A friend reminded me of the show's existence a few months ago and I knew the SECOND I saw Maudra Seethi in the background that I had to cosplay her. Currently working on Maudra Ethri as I type this!

saw this cute cat online n instantly thought of Deet or j something out of Thra. Is it just me?

(also idk the account name but i google image searched it n think it could be a cat called “Queen Fifi”)

The 2nd Skeksis painting in my little digital painting Skeksis series. Decided to do all soft brush work for this one to stay true to my roots. SkekVar was my favorite Skeksis in Age of Resistance. My rendition of him isn't perfect and I took some liberties altering some of his features in his armor, but I am happy with how it turned out. Let me know which Skeksis you'd like to see next!
