Description Dear god, I have been so freaking busy. I finished my last color comp/practice sample to turn in along with my final in my illustration class. Got to play around with toned paper again with some colored pencils! This is a test shot of the Skeksis from the Dark Crystal in my poster design. He's....colorful. The skeksis are actually really dark and grey in the movie. The print out I used as reference is from the opening titles when the skeksis are staring into the crystal light. So all that grey color appeared blue and pink from the light. A cool effect. This is a rough, took me no more than an hour. I pray to god that I'll finish the poster by next Weds. So much work with my other classes..gotta print, glue and bind a hard bound book, finish a huge Flash website...guh... Here's hoping.

The light is authentic...Skeksis stood in it every day for a thousand years.

That is also what they wanted to do outside the immediate neighborhood of the Dark Crystal,for they tried to replicate the Crystal many times over: but without success. 

 

The Dark Crystal diehards who escaped to my planet of Radula did replicate Dark Crystal lighting.

 

Why, the patrons of "The Crystal Bat" would never consider using any other.

 

And,on Dark Crystal Day,it is on everywhere.

Great atomosphere and good form, the only sujestion I have that could possibly help is to try and make the creature's wrinkels more organic and less harsh. THey look a little stiff right now (then again you may want it that way)

I think you're right about that, especially on the nose. I may soften them up a bit before I turn in this sample. Thanks for commenting Suggestions are always welcome.
