Baby Qwe having a supervised playdate with sidetic. Was asked for on Discord!

New Fic with Age of Wonder era SkekQwe, and art of her during that era, now an old lady. I'd love to talk about old lady Qwe more too, Im thinking maybe Q&A for Qwe in all eras next.
(Dont ask why her hands are so small, im too tired to fix them lol)

Seeing as its my birthday this week I devided to sketch that out for Qwe's first birthday at the castle. I got lazy with the table set up lol.
Its a fully decked out extravagant affair. She's dressed up to the point where she could barely toddle. SkrkAyuk took the time to create an elaborate feast for both adult Skeksis and the skekling, feeding sweets and crawlies galore.
Gifts, and food, and the older Skeksis surrounding her. Of course she wouldnt complain about being given the best foods at the table for once in her currently very short life. SkekEkt had sewn her her own ruffle ribbon neck frill and added extra bows.
Though all this celebrating comes after a long ceremony put together by her adoptive father to celebrate her first Trine as a Skeksis which had almost put Qwe to sleep before she was even brought to party.
Rek'yr suffering from the heatwave ☀️ Living in the desert is no joke!
Had fun designing the patterns and tattoos on his body, since we have no idea what is actually going on there. I also tried coloring this, but couldn't make it work this time around... Luckily everything looks great in black and white!
(The original was just a bit too hot for this place, so I cleaned this up so y'all could behold him respectfully 😉)
My collection of Gelfling Mii's so far
Rian, Deet, Brea, Kra, Jen, and Ordon, plus a close up of the facepainting I did for Ordon that im quite proud of since it was just using my finger tip to draw it on a switch lite lol
Head shot ref for Qwe!
Notes transcript
-Brass base, gold tooth for her dentures
-Heavily raised hollow sockets where her teeth were pulled
-Scarred on snout from constant wear from her demtures

Accompanying SkekZok, SkekSil and SkekOk to the capital Ha'rar for a harvest ceramony was the newest edition to the castle, a skekling 3 trine old. A skekling with boundless energy and an obsession with fizzgigs that goes so far as to her pretending to be one in the capital. With SkekZok worn out from the last 3 trine of caring for her, she manages to slip away underneath his nose, leaving the lord in a panic beyond anything he had ever felt.
Fluff fic with Baby Qwe. Wriiten at 2 Am as is tradition. It is not beta, any spelling mistakes you see, uh, dont exist. Idk man. Enjoy <3
Wuh bam, more spam. Even as an adult she's quite a pest to her father.
(Mini transcsript)
"Faaatthhhherrrhh.."
"I cannohht find my teethhhsh.."
Loosing her partial dentures is now a life long struggle for the Priestess, and is the main thing that makes SkekZok regret taking her teeth in the first place, because lost teeth are now his problem.
Tall skekling also cus I headcanon SkekGra to be the biggest of the Skeksis height wise, so SkekQwe inherited that height.
Bonus baby sketch, with her in a vapran made dress. Supposed to be holding her fathers hand but I gave up lmaoo.
Wow more art of SkekQwe?? I love when my new blorbos are my own ocs. Her as a baby, teen, and adult, thought it'd be fun to draw her in different stages, and roughly the colours I want for her.
Baby her turned out to be very marketable plushie like. I imagine she lost a more and more fluff as she aged. Teenage her is a bit younger than when she had her teeth pulled. Very similar colour palate to SkekZok clothing wise since she works so closely with her "Father", but the remaining fluff on her head is veiled. Blue like her actual dad UrGoh <3
(I would also love to draw her interacting with other OCs too! Please feel free to ask! I wanna draw many OCs!)
Rough Sketches of my SkekOc because when in Fandom, do as fans do.
SkekQwe (Qh-way) the Priestess, only 278 Trine old, with prosthetic teeth replacing her Major canines in her mouth.
(though her birthname was SkekLun, with her counterpart being named UrLim). The child or UrGoh and SkekGra, but raised in the castle by SkekZok.
(Poorly written Bio time!! I bet this would all read better as a fic than a general description. One day lol)
Born not physically but in a manifestation of connected energies between her parents. (I like to imagine Urskeks, in general, have children by connecting their two energies and fusing them together to produce a new being. )
Qwe and Lim were made in a failed early desperate attempt of SkekGra and UrGoh trying to become GraGoh. But with Qwe and Lim being born on Thra of techincally one Urskek Split into two, they couldn't sustain their own Urskek form for more than a few seconds before they split into themselves, which were more stable than their UrSkek form.
Qwe, as a Skekling, was found cradled in a hanging swaddle in a tree at one of the very few crystal desert oaisises, while her parents were busy foraging food and other supplies.
Dousan scouts stopping for a refill of their own supplies, went to investigate, only to find a baby skeksis in the swaddle. With SkekGra collecting water and UrGoh busy trying to wrangle a fussy UrLim in the brush, it was easy to take her, and bring her along with them to eventually transport her to the castle, and hopefully grant the Dousan better standing with the Crystal Lords.
(That Oasis never produced viable food or drinkable water afterward, from the pure grief of her parents rotting it away.)
When presented to the lords of the castle as a fledgling no one truly knew what to do with her, and originally she had been tasked to the scientist. However SkekZok soon took over for the scientist after SkekTek had been much too rough in his handling of her as a baby, treating her more like a beast of Thra than a Skeksis. So she had been raised under SkekZok for the next 278 trine, being shaped into being a priestess and upholding her "dad's" ceremonies.
Her prosthetic teeth come from her biting the ornamentalist when she had just recently become a teenager with a very bad temper. SkekEkt had been too rough with grooming her downy feathers in the bath one day, and in a fit of frustration Qwe hand thrown her head back and sank her teeth into Ekts hand after Ekt had pulled one too many downy feathers. In turn for injuring the ornamentalist quite badly on the hand and arm, she had her major canine teeth pulled by SkekZok himself. When she doesn't have her prosthetics in, she speaks with a lisp and has a drooling problem from the gaps.
Im sure i'll refine more of this later but thats the generaly basis of her! Tried to make her look a bit like SkekGra without outright copying him. Have I hit all the fandom oc tropes yet with this one? Maybe. Lemme know what you think :)
Bless these fizzgig's singing the AOR theme.
The obsession is strong. My favorite Tarot set is also Dark crystal themed pip deck! (in lots of detail with characters from the movie, show, and comics!) (It's also a very blunt, kinda sassy Tarot deck for me if you believe in this kinda stuff lol)
These are a few of my favorites! I particularly love Seladon's, Ordon's, and UrVa's cards.
I have the full deck, so if you want to see any other cards or characters please please please ask! I wanna show it off so bad! Its gorgeous! (As well as the box!!)
Art is by Tomas Hijo!!
Just got a dip pen and india ink and UrVa seemed perfect to draw for my first try with them! SkekMal next maybe? Very happy with how it came out for a first try, especially his snout.
(Tumblr why must you eat my quality??)
If this is the last time, know that I was here for you once
Rian saying goodbye to little Jen ✨
I've been making a bunch of gelflings on Tomodatchi life, and the first thing these two did was lay down and star gaze together, so I decided to redraw it because Ordon's death still makes me sad :(
