Day 4! That crown really was, uh, something. I like to think it happened something like this.

Blacksmithing clearly isn’t part of the standard princess curriculum.

Day 1 Creature Feature: Rakkida pups

I wanted to draw SkekSard and UrDahr together for quite a while so @createforthra was a great opportunity! It was meant to fit Day 7′s theme of unity but it can work for Day 5′s division too. Depends on how you see it! 

As both are face to face, I wanted to highlight how their overall head shapes are similar. There's a page on The World of the Dark Crystal that shows how both counterparts were meant to have these similarities...It's not very respected in the movie/show, but I kinda did it here because it was a cool idea. They are the same being, after all. They are SardDahr the UrSkek!

Missed the second day of CreateforThra with this but do you guys remember the post where I was playing around with a Stonewood-Grottan Gelfling? Here she is! This will not be her final design but wanted to share what I have so far.

Meet Esmeray, the suspicious forest-dwelling potion maker:

Esmeray is a creepy little Gelfling who enjoys the art of apothecary and has a not so great reputation among the Stonewood locals.

Stonewood Gelfling nickname her the "Witch of Shadows" or simply "the Witch" because her shops only open at night and are scattered all across the Endless Forest. She's also infamously known to sell illegal potions and poisons as well as practice/use ingredients considered taboo. Esemeray relishes in her reputation.

Her creepiness is mainly due to her reclusive nature so a lot of what she says and does comes off as socially awkward and eccentric.

Esemeray hates Gelfling due to abuse and harassment she and her family received. She will, however, still do business with them if they pay her well.

She has a much more favorable view towards Podlings and is always happy doing business with them.

Esmeray has a great respect to animals and nature and prefers their company instead of her own kind.

She has a sun allergy so she became nocturnal. If she has to be out in daylight, she needs to wear protective clothing.

Her Grottan mother was an accomplished alchemist and her Stonewood father was a "wood-watcher" (which is like a mix between silvologist and ranger).

Esemeray lives within one of the darkest corners of the Endless Forest. Her home was fashioned from an abandoned fort connected to a tunnel system used during the Arathim Wars. The tunnel systems are used to store ingredients as well as travel to her various drop off/shop locations for clients.

Esemeray has an unknown amount of potions on her person, some of which are tied to her hair. She likes to be prepared.

She has a pet Awlis named Roo which she raised when he was a baby. He's her closest companion.

Plenty of her clients are Podlings or Gelflings who know where to find her, but she has done business with other creatures as well (even the Skeksis!).

It’s been a hot minute since I drew a thing but here’s my lil guy urFon for Day 2 of Create for Thra: OCs!

Create for Thra: 8/30-9/5

In honor of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’s Second Anniversary, we are working in a Great Conjunction (*wink*) with @thra-athon to sponsor a celebratory event for this wonderful fandom.

Starting Monday, August 30, and ending Sunday, September, 5, 2021, Create for Thra is designed to be a celebration and fun experience for fans to submit artwork, fanfiction, and all manner of creation related to the world of Thra and the week’s themes! You can focus on any character you’d like, from one character/ships to the full cast of characters. We are so excited to see what you create!

Here are the themes for the week:

August 30 — Day One: Creature Feature -  Draw or write a story about your favorite Thra-creature, or post artwork of your own Thra-Creature Creation. 

August 31 — Day Two: Original Characters - Introduce us to your original character within the world of Thra. Words, images, sculptures, dolls, puppets... the world of Thra is, as they say, your... gobble? Hm...

September 1 — Day Three: Where in the World? / Home Is Where the Heart Is - Show us your favorite locale on Thra with art or words, or create something about your favorite character in the little piece of Thra they call home.

September 2 — Day Four: Scene Work - Draw/write an interpretation of your favorite scene, or create your own deleted scene from the show. What occurred offscreen that you would have liked to see? What would your favorite scene have looked like from a different character’s eyes?

September 3 — Day Five: What Was Sundered and Undone - The Division of the UrSkeks... the splitting of the Seven Clans... the cracking of the Crystal of Truth. Many things on Thra have been torn apart. Create a piece about this topic.

September 4 — Day Six: "There are many paths laid before us, some good, most bad." - Create a story or drawing about the differing paths Aughra sees. Brea tells her mother to imagine the possibilities - what can you imagine?

September 5 — Day Seven: A Great Conjunction -  “Alright, together then!” From the reunification of the Skeksis and Mystics and the Gelfling fires of resistance, the alliance of the Arathim and the Gelfling, to our favorite Podling Paladin, unity is an important concept during the Age of Resistance. Make a creation about embracing unity instead of continuing division!

It isn’t required to participate for the entire week. If you’d just like to submit a piece of work for only one of the theme days, that’s completely fine! Please be sure that any work submitted is new content.

Rules: 

1) Tag your work properly so that any parties who are either a) too young for certain subject matter, or b) concerned about potentially unsavory subject matter, may make informed decisions about what works they do and do not want to engage with.

2) Character-hate and ship-hate is not allowed or welcome. Any fan of this fandom is welcome to participate. Don’t like it? Don’t read/view it, and don’t comment a bunch of hate on it. End. Of. Story. You will be blocked if you engage in that type of behavior.

3) HAVE FUN AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER!

We encourage you to leave the artist/author/creator a comment if you enjoyed the creation - it doesn’t have to be something long or detailed. Something as simple as “really enjoyed reading/viewing this” will make the creator’s day a bit brighter.

Be sure to hashtag #CreateforThra so we can see it and reblog your creations!

Remember - all characters are welcome! Skeksis, Mystics, Gelfling, Podlings, pluff’ms, and everything in between. 

Looking forward to seeing your creations beginning Monday, August 30.

Lagisa the gelfling

Wanted to officially introduce one of my gelfling ocs for the second day of createforthra week. So this is Lagisa, a half Grottan, half Vapran gelfling. With that kind of mix, you can imagine the kind of stuff she deals with. But a wild girl at heart, with a desire to help anyone she meets, she has a strong will to be kind.

This is when she was young, but later she married a Stonewood/Drenchen gelfling named Theorn and had a daughter named Sirai.
