Description LONG overdue are the five Mistics to the five main Skeksis. The second set will come at later date.

Skeksis Counterparts


Mystic set No.2


urSu the Master - the leader of the Mystics and counterpart of the Skeksis Emperor Skekso. He lead the mystics with wisdom. Wise were he ways he chose death rather than witnessing the link of the skeksis and mystics been broken, but before he passed he sent Jen to fullfill the Gelfling Prophecy to bring an end to Skeksis rule. His death marked the death of Skekso as well, as one can't exist without the other.

Of the Mystics, he was sort of a father figure to Jen.

urZah the Ritual Guardian - the guardian of the ceremonies of the suns and Funeral Proceedings, urSu ordered urZah to go to the nearest Gelfling settlment at the base of the mountain as the last Garthim Raid took place, by the time he arrived he saved Jen. His counterpart was SkekZok the Ritual Master. urZah warned Jen, before he began his quest, that if fail, he would die and all good would be destroy.

urIm the Healer - the Counterpart of the Garthim Master, General SkekUng, he used acupuncture and talizmans to keep the spirits heal. When urSu died, he became the new leader of the Mystics as SkekUng became the new Skeksis Emperor. Once the Skeksis and Mystics were reunified into the UrSkeks , is UngIm who speaks to Jen and revives Kira before the 8 reborn UrSkeks leave.

urSol the Chanter - the chanter of the mystics and counter part of SkekSil the Chamberlain: urSol had to voices, one lights and soft for speak, and one powerful and loud that made the rocks in the valley tremble.

urTih the Alchemist - the Counterpart of SkekTek the Scientist, urTih spend his days lost on his experiments, seeking to change the forms of substances. He approached his work with humility, as he knew that he could never create anything that was nature's work, he created the Spiral Walkways that ran through the Valley of the Standing Stones, home of the Mystics since the Division. He had two prothesis of wood, the right front arm and the right leg, thanks to SkekTek mutilating himself and replacing his limbs with robotic prothesis.

urTih followed his fellow Mystics on the March towards the Skeksis castle, but died in flames when his counterpart, SkekTek, fell onto the magma pool down the fire shaft.

You have them in the same order I have as the leaders, nice drawing. UrSol's my favourite I use him a lot in my fanfic as well as his counterpart and I admit to always having a soft spot for UrSu.

As I worked with children I did quite a bit of puppetry. I have always admired Jim Henson's work in this movie. Jim Henson was an envelope stretcher par excellence and proved there are no limits to what can be done with puppets.
You have done a wonderful job capturing the mystics. Can't wait for the Skeksis!

The Skeksis had been done years ago - it took me this long to make their direct Mystics since I was concentretaing on the Comics and General Art. I had concepts of the other five, but I'll work them in do time. Got a whole lot under my plate to chew on
