1021. Hand-coloured Brian Froud "Skeksis Spiral Journey" Artwork - Sold on Propstore.com

"This hand-coloured, production original artwork provides a floor-plan of the throne chamber in the Skeksis' castle. It features entwined serpents, together with inlaid circles within a triangle laid over a hexagram. Originally created by the urSkeks, the Skeksis' predecessor species, the throne room was intended to represent a great branching polyhedron of intertwined fates, with the circles representing focal points of the energy generated by the cosmic serpents. The print also features annotations by Froud, as well as text written in the language of the Skeksis. Dimensions: 14 cm x 29 cm (5.5" x 11.5")

The handwriting in this lot have been professionally authenticated by expert Garry King; see notice in the Buyer's Guide."

These three are genuinely so buns it makes me cry 💔

You will love Jen & Kira from The Dark Crystal:

I made a TDC discord server a while ago. It's kinda empty because I forgot about it and there's not many people inside, but hey, go check it out! (Maybe then it will be more active XD)

I was wondering what Skeksis-themed redrawn meme I could sketch for this Friday...and suddenly I realized that the scene when The Chamberlain just nonchalantly makes a grab for the scepter was THIS MEME in a nutshell.

I will never watch that part of the movie the same way again! 🤣

I hope this meme got a good laugh out of you! Share it around shamelessly if you know other Dark Crystal fans who might be in need of a hearthy laugh!
