SkekMal, my beloved… how do I draw you

Lil gift for @wizardlamb

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

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
