SkekSa"s Path

Part 6 - The Trial

So... we came to the Trial at last, when SkekSa has a chance to escape and start a new life. But it will come at a price...

~~~

Fei's sacrifice might seem avoidable. She could have listened to SkekSa. But I have to tell here, that Fei has a super low self-esteem. Sacrificing herself seemed like the only plan in her head, which would give SkekSa the freedom she deserves. Also she loved SkekSa during this year, so giving up her own life for her was something she did gladly. Also she has a little win for herself here, becaoming braver. When she met SkekSa, she was resurected after a Trial like this. She was afraid getting back here. But during the year, SkekSa taught her to be a bit more courageous. So facing the monster she feared with a heartfelt greeting is a big thing for her.

The Dark Crystal has a big number of grotesque creatures, and I wanted to do something worthy. That's how the marbolg was born. I later realized it is a horror-version of the cute turnable octopus-plushie which is popular nowadays XD It is also a creature the skeksis who has an urru feel a bit kinship with, since the marbolg is born with it's mate. The two head has different minds and they co-exist with the same body. Also one of them is herbivore, while the other is carnivore, making them not dependante on foodsource. But the Churches like them being carnivore, so they limit their food during the Trial-periods of the year, so the dropped skeksis are consumed for sure.

And with the Scavengers, there is SkekRo's little introduction-verse, much like Team Rocket XD He is trying really hard to make an impression XD

this was technically my last piece of 2019, and bc it was a rough doodle that I slapped some color onto I’ve been debating posting it at all. considering it’s almost three weeks into January and I still have nothing to show I guess I’ll toss this here.

this was a quick thing to roughly figure out where I wanted to go with the larger, more detailed drawing I’ve been working on of skekRo’s urRu counterpart urArc. wwwwhich might continue collecting dust in WIP land for quite a while more at this rate. :v

Skeksa’s Path

Part 8 - “The ship”

SkekSa fits in to the community of the Scavengers and finally receives her ship. However her departure prompts some other elements to use her for their own plans. And an unexpected event disrupts her preparations...

~~~

So I think this is the first time I feature SkekZash in my comic as an actively present character. He and SkekTek bond over making skeksis body stronger through machinery and other scientific methods. But Zash combines his work with a disturbing dark power... which is the reason he seeks our original gang, specifically SkekSo, since he was exposed to the Darkening. SkekZash believes this power has a will of it’s own and wants to communicate with it. It is present on every living planet and it is determined by a planet’s strength if the Darkening can ruin it.

For SkekTek... this was his last chance to change his life to the better. From this moment, every choice he makes will take him down a dark path. All because he can’t get over his traumas and he desperatelly wants justice for himself.

Also the marbolg egg hatched and SkekSa has a new pet :3

SkekSa’s Path

Part 7 - “The Admiralty”

SkekSa is making her first steps outside the Church since she was reborn, but she has specific plans in head. She descides to join the Scavengers so she can leave the ship.

~~~

There is not much to say here. Since SkekSa met SkekRo, they devised this plant, that SkekSa will join them and ask the Admiralty for a ship of her own. If they refuse, she can still live with skeksis who she likes.

I’ve made an art about the head of the Admiralty, SkekKriala before, and she is here, but not fully revealing herself. Since they leading these “pirates” is a big secret, which must not reach the Empress. The Hidden Colonies is the territory of the Scavengers and basically a group of free colonies, who are hiding from the Empire’s influence on the outer rings of the galaxy. SkekSa has to make a bit of a journey, before this full picture is revealed to her, because of this secrecy. If she would just accept the life on a hidden colony, there is nothing to worry about, since she can’t contact the Empire from that distance. But since she asked for a ship of her own, she is a bit suspicious and kept in the dark on purpose.

But before she finally leaves this ship behind, she has one final task ahead of her.

SkekSa's Path

Part 4 - "The Mates"

During her past months, SkekSa got in good terms with most of the females in the Church, and also secured a contact, who can help her, once she escapes. The leader of the pirates, who come and go as they please, SkekRo, the Bandit, who developed a soft spot in his heart for Sa.

But SkekSa also refused all the mates SkekIv appointed for her, so she is in danger from the High Priestess' wrath. In desperation, and to make SkekSa unable to fight her way out, SkekIv approaches the Hunters of the ship, the Pack. Most importantly, the pack-leader, SkekXan, who is even a bit more grumpier than SkekMal.

~~~

Anyway. SkekRo is a chad and has a bit bigger mouth, than muscle. But he will be a loyal friend and helper through this story.

As for SkekXan... he has morals and he follows the rules. He only goes into this situation to protect the members of his Pack from the Shadow Hunter... who are inspired by Warhammer a bit ^^; They are basically inquisitors tasked to keep the hunter-type skeksis at bay. They are mostly seeking BIG challenge, that's why they chose to hunt their own kind. Skeksis are the most dangerous predator in the universe... are they not?
