Description Hey there everybody!
I've recently been striving to complete (once and for all) the big life-size SkekSil (who ended up as a huge figure instead of becoming a cosplay, which was my original plan for him!)
I have been crafting a hyper-fancy (yet old, torn and distressed) shirt for him to form his first layer of visible clothes...It's being fitted with sequins, small crystals, etc to be as fancy as possible (not 100% movie accurate, but oh well: I want to tune theChamberlain up! I have the feel that he'd love it!) then, his ruffle collar got completed (tho he'll get also some small ammount of gems and small pearls sewn to it in future steps of his robing!)

Soon: further pics on his robing progres, and more drawn art! ^^

Skeksis and Chamberlain SkekSil: (c) Jim Henson, Briand Froud, Frank Oz.

HAHAH He might! I more recent stages of development he lost that more "bumbly, silly" air as those two had, tho ^^
He's taken from a fantasy movie from 1982 callled "The Dark Crystal"
But definitely, "vulture" is something which comes in mind when seeing these fellows from said movie!

Glad you like it! and if you enjoy fantasy settings, old-school special effects and animatronics, you might really love The Dark Crystal! 
I wish you a good watch if you ever do watch it!

Thank you!
I quite like how films were made back in the 80s and 90s , so perhaps I will enjoy it!

Wow! For some reason I specifically always liked and focused on SkekSil's black neck lace
 This is going to be quite a feat, perhaps to such a degree that it might grab major
attention, spark some Motivation and by 2020 I will be enjoying a Dark Crystal prequel 
'or sequel...a man can dream.

AW, DON'T EVEN SAY THAT! XD
I feel so flattered that I'm dying!
Indeed, we both can dream that it would happen!...OH, IF ONLY!---
It would truly be a dream come true!
