I'm never gonna emotionally recover from this

[screeching-raptor]

Loosely based on @anchasvtt's Chasing Shadows fic, especially the part where skekUng tries to seduce to Emperor in the baths. Thankfully for him, his attempt did not end like this. XD

SkekSo loves his men bald.

Paper cutout animation test! Featuring my wip Moho rig.

I made a quick animation in Moho and then exported the individual frames and used a cricut to cut them out. Then, I did a "quick stop-motion test" on a makeshift light table because I am apparently insane.

(Adding a few sheets of vellum helped sell the look.)

The Moho animation took about 30 mins...filming the stop-motion shot also only took about 30 mins. (because it was only 2 seconds.)

But the printing, cutting, gluing, and other fabrication.....took days.

Anyways—behold him.

Happy Pride Month, TDC fandom!

I actually don't headcanon these two with a preference for pronouns (I have specific HCs that gender doesn't exist in the skeksis society, except for Sa who adopted gelfling culture) buuuut uh. I felt like doing this today.

So here goes! Enjoy the old man yuri! <3

Taking advantage of the holiday break from work to get through art backlogs.

Also tried a new coloring method that I hope to keep replicating~

[messlforsure]

i also have a meme inspired by those train staring prank videos (they're trying to inconspicuously gather information about the resistance)

[screeching-raptor]

I made a skeksis centric community!

Just for fun, a community that focuses more on our good ol evil birbs! Join if you feel like it! :D

I'm finally finished with the commission I've been quietly working on! If I was good at using social media I would have been posting updates on but sadly I'm not! Excited to see him parcelled up and shipped to his forever home!

Young skekUng during his prime!

He was commissioned by my dear friend @zurelazuli , and the entire concept of how the Garthim Master's attire and looks could have been long before he had that title.

Drawing him was a real blast-this was a super fun design to work with!

How do you like him?

Drop some comments and let me know your thoughts!

Also: announcements regarding the current situation with my commissions will be coming very soon!
