Castle of the Crystal in a nutshell
Skeksis oc drawing time, I saw @alter02 skekling oc SkekGin and oh wow their design was so amazing I just had to sketch it out!! This is rushed and messy cuz I was falling asleep mid drawing, but show alter some love their drawings and designs are amazing!!!
Dadmal Au head canons
Seeing as nobody asked
Skekmal isn’t exactly an ‘overprotective dad’ but he does consider his kids a lot more fragile than they actually are.
And so if one gelfling wants to hunt, the rest have to tag along for their safety
Rian is considered the runt of the group due to his lack of wings or extra arms
Skekmal found Rian when he was a literal baby.
Deet appeared when she and Rian were both around 2 or 3
Brea showed up at the age of 5
Deet prefers to wear softer and fluffy animal hide
Brea and Rian prefer tougher clothing for protection
Rian wears the most trophies out of all the gelfling trio
Deet rarely walks during hunting; she prefers to fly
Rian is particularly ruthless towards targets
Brea makes excellent traps for prey
Deet uses animal calls to lure prey
All three gelfling have bone masks that make them resemble birds (or skeksis)
Brea is the only one who can read and write
The gelfling have an odd relationship with UrVa
Skekmal won’t let them near his other half but UrVa is under the impression that the kids are unwilling participants in skekmal’s hunting
The other skeksis are aware of Skekmal’s protégés, however they don’t know that they are gelfling

There was various reactions
Scared of the kids
Skekok

Intrigued by the kids
Skeksil

Annoyed by the kids
Skekso
Skekvar
Skekung
SkekNa
Skeklach
What kids? (Has no fucking clue)
Skeksa
Skekgra
Skekli
————————————————————————————————————
After a long day’s hunt, cuddle piles are necessary in the cold forest
A more accurate description of this ‘cuddling’ is ‘Brea Deet and Rian using their dad as a weighted blanket’
The kids Dreamfast with each other during boring hunting trips
Rian loves making almost everything into a game or fun competition
Brea is the master of hide and seek
Deet prefers to have her hair up so it doesn’t get in the way of her wings
Brea uses her hair like a storage compartment
Skekmal full on snatches his kids up if he thinks they’re in danger
The kids will not eat unless Skekmal tries some first
