Description
Drawing for contest for the underated.For the comp, I decided to draw a Garthim Soldier, from the film The Dark Crystal, by Jim Henson. Theres only 60 deviations of this little known baddy, and I believe he deserves more attention! If anyone doesnt know what these guys are, heres a link to a youtube vid, and theres the first scene with the garthim, 46 seconds into the vid. [link]
The picture is not very good quality, the actual piece is quite a lot darker than it appears, so, sorry about that.

Aughra
as you can guess, Aughra is my favourite becuase she's nuts!
'When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone shall be whole, the two made one. By Gelfing hand or else by none.'- Gelfing Prophecy.
Awesome XD Yeah I can remember dialogue pretty good too, lol.
Aughra: "go on ask what the great conjuction is, what the great conjuction?"
Jen "whats the great conjuction, you tell me?"
Aughra "The great conjuction is the end of the world!..or the beginning"
Lol, fun times. And she was such a memorable character.

I love all of those sorts of films, I've yet to find anyone who knows The Flight of Dragons or The Last Unicorn... Then there's Legend... The Neverending Story... The Land Before Time... or God the list goes on. Why does no one know these films? ^_^

I know flight of dragons, and the last unicorn, I saw that when I was about 5, but have never managed to find it anywhere, but I stil remember it! The neverending story is brilliant, I love that film. The other ones werent too good, the first is the best.
