@feusus @candythemew
They do NOT appreciate the arts like you do, Sard. Sad. SO sad. :u
My boy needs to meet Gra ! Only him can understand his arrrrrrt !!!
ā They glow too ! ā
Resting after playing with glow moss, Rian has a beautiful surprise !
Another piece for @stonegrotweek ! The prompt of the day must involve Deet wings and I literally had that idea in a dream ! My brain is full of those two this week⦠heheā¦
I experimented some coloring styles with this piece and Iām quite happy with it !
ā[The arara tree] bears sweet fruits that dangle dangle in large purple clusters. Normally, the fruits are edible and quite delicious; however, the tree has a fascinating defense against creatures that might otherwise strip the fruits before they have a chance to seed : When the tree senses danger, it emits a terrifying screaming sound (the mechanism of which is a mystery).ā
When I read that in the Stonewood chapter of the āSongs of the Seven Gelfling Clansā book, I couldnāt resist ! In the show we see Deet talking about her Grottan culture, but I would love to see Rian teaching Deet some old Stonewood tricks. The StoneGrot Week theme for day 2 was perfect for that !
But things can go wrong very fast and all Rian can do is protect her sensitive Grottan ears !
The rules for the fanart contest !!!
In honor of Age of Resistanceās first anniversary we are holding a Dark Crystal Fan Art Contest in addition of that new Thra-athon ! Dark Crystal fans, stream your favorite show again and submit your art ! And Iām proud to announce that Iām in the jury !!!

My interpretation of SkekSa the Mariner from JM Leeās Dark Crystal book series !
I havenāt read them yet, but she seems like an interesting character and is very popular in the fandom. As much as I LOVE Cory Godbeyās wonderful illustrations, Iām not a fan of SkekSaās design, so I decided to give her my own twist !
From what I know, she is kind of a rogue, critical of the Castle life. So no long dresses and overly pompous attires. And I heard that she sails the seas inside a giant living monster, so I gave her a very organic outfit. Like it was made with sea creatures. Of course, I maintained some things I liked in her original design, like her overall color scheme and her big head and athletic physique.
After reading the books, maybe my vision of her will change, so maybe Iāll do another drawing !
i dont think ive posted these here yet! :0
a charity commission for @feusus of skekSard
Posting it a bit late š
But thank you so much Shroom !!! You nailed him and his terribly childish attitude !
Recent skeksis commissions for @queenofthetides & @feusus
Thank you so much @vanillaearwig !!!! SkekSard looks awesome ! I love his crazed expression and how voluminous you made his clothes !!! Perfection !!!
āOut here in the worldā¦
Look at me,
Iām no hero,
Master nothing is simple anymoreā¦ā
YEEEES !!!! I somehow love how he looks here !
I also love this scene. Throwing off and burying his armor is like him accepting to abandon his old life and his dream of becoming the new captain of the guard. Those dreams canāt be anymore because they are all lies.
Also, great parallel to Jen !

Rian + 38
Clothes
Pulling himself out of the water, Rianās arms and legs ached with exhaustion. The strength it had taken to leap from the window and into the river below, was gone. He felt heavy and wet, and his boots sank into the muddy shore as the weight of his soaked clothes, his guardās armor, and the sword at his side weighed him further down.
Looking back over his shoulder, the outline of The Castle of the Crystal hung dark on the horizon. He was lucky the current had carried him this far. Already, The General had likely sent guards to scour grounds for the traitor, the murderer.
Rian shuddered at the word. The image of Mira as the life drained from her flashed through his mind, as did the skeksisā faces as they consumed her essence.
He reached for the vial strapped to his belt. It was still there, glowing faintly. At least he had this. With this there was hope - hope of being believed, of spreading the truth, of saving someone. Even if it was too late for Mira. Even if it was too late for Gurjin still inside the castle walls.
Rian turned away, facing the edge of the Dark Wood. The trees rose up, tall and sturdy, making him look smaller and more disheveled as he stood beneath them. It was a long way to Stone-in-the-Wood, but he had nowhere else to go now.
As he walked through the forest, his clothes still heavy and damp and clinging to his skin, Rian tried to clear his mind of everything but the next step forward - each one carrying him closer to his clan and his Maudra.
But he could not stop his thoughts racing. Scenes of that morning played in his mind. If only he had been here not there, done this not that. If only something had been different, Mira might still be alive.
But Rian had seen The Scientistās machine, the skeksisā hunger for essence, and the deep purple color of the crystalā¦
So, he walked on as the suns set and rose again, casting pale leafy shadows down onto the ground below.
His clothes were dry now, but they had molded to his body. The fabric of his tunic and pants was rough and cold. His cloak was crumpled and smelled of damp. Even the belt at his waist hung lower.
Suddenly, there were voices down the path. Pitched and frustrated, but still gelfling voices. And as Rian heard them, he felt his mind clear just a little with the joy of not being alone.
So he stepped forward to help them, lifting a wagon, fitting a wheel, even as their tone turned suspicious and biting. Ā
Because they knew his name. Already, the skeksisā lies had spread and they spoke them with such confidence that Rian felt his stomach roil.
And as quickly as the comfort at their presence had come, it was gone - stinging of accusation and rejection. Disappearing quickly back into the forest, the sound of his own voice trailed apologies behind him.
Pushing deeper and deeper into the woods, Rianās chest and throat grew tighter. It was a heavy aching feeling. But this time the water in his clothes was no longer responsible.
Finally, his exhaustion caught up with him and he stumbled forward, falling to his knees and breathing hard. Soft dirt pressed against his palms and he clenched his hands into fists, watching the soil squeeze out between his fingers.
Then his fatigue turned to fervor, and Rian scraped at the ground - digging hard and fast until his eyes watered, his skin stung, and his nails had grown black.
As the fervor faded, he sat and looked at what he had done, hands limp against his thighs. There was a hole, not very big, but there all the same. Taking a deep breath, his gaze steadied and he stood.
Reaching for the belt at his hip, Rian loosed his sword and cut into the dirt, making the hole deeper and deeper. He did it dispassionately, the last of his energy left somewhere long behind him - somewhere that felt distant and made him wonder what had carried him this far.
But as he dug the vial bounced against his hip with each scoop of black soil.
At last, the hole was square and deep.
Rianās forehead glimmered in the low light with a fine sheen of sweat. Propping the sword against a tree, he started to tug at buckles and clasps.
Hands shaking, but back straight, he stripped. He removed his armor and the insignias of The Castle.
And one by one he tossed each item into the hole.
Left only in plainclothes he threw his sword down last. Standing there, he shivered without the added layers. He had worn that armor, the crest of The Castle guard, for years. He had seen his father wear them for years before that.
But Rian knelt and covered the pile over with dirt until it blended in again with the forest floor.
He was no murderer, and he would not wear the marks of those that were.
So fastening the vial tighter to his side, Rian stood and walked deeper into the forest. Each step bringing him closer to Stone-in-the-Wood.
All I Ask of You (Chap 1)
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance fic
Deet x Rian
She walked into his life when all seemed lost. He accepted her when the other surface dwellers didnāt. She was gentle. He was brave. Their first impressions dwelt in their minds and their feelings grew as their journey wore on. They supported each other, comforted each other, and gave each other strength. Together, they were a light in the darkness.
Chapter 1.Ā

Iām normally not a fan of ānovelisationā fanfics, but I really love this one ! Rian is a character who feels a lot but doesnāt always show it, and here we can really feel his emotions boiling inside him threatening to explode ! And his train of thought is very well depicted here, with his memories mixing up with what he is experiencing. His relationship with Deet described in the intro is exactly how I see them, so I canāt wait to read the rest !
