Description YEY, I'm back with a tiny skeksis comic strip!!!

Not an ASK yet, but that will come rather soon, as much as next Brotherhood's page. I promise!!

This one surged from a little talk I had with some friends at a TDC fans forum ...since the Mystic counterpart of SkekTek the Scientist (UrTih the alchemist) is shown as possessing two healthy eyes and the Scientist who is bonded to him has that flaring lens permanently attached...
How is it possible, when skeksis/UrrU counterparts show the same ohysical scars, defects and wounds?...
This is the comical answer I devised for that question XD...
Here you go...
I hope you'll have a laugh!

new canon from Show

SkekTek: Regeneration of an organ such as an eye is but a simple matter for the crystal that sustains us. My "replacement" was merely an accelerator for such a process, and later something to help it focus better. I can barely see out of it without my lens, so help me find before I FIND A PEEPER BEETLE FOR YOU!!!Β

Hilarious Comic! For some reason seeing SkekTek without his eye Lens Light makes him look older ( Though that's only my opinion.)

SkekLa In reply to XenoXyvern [2018-03-06 09:56:52 +0000 UTC]

Since these small funny comics are not correlative it isn't even mentioned why the Illustrator was sick
The fact that she had beenΒ  sick only served as a fold to allow the joke to happen in this case (SkekTek the Scientist trying to check up on her with bad consequences : SkekLa's bad reaction's due to the Scientist's overall creepyness and fame of tormenting the others when he acts as a doctor for them) Β

So did he originally lose one eye or was it never said?Β  Either way its a funny comic.Β 

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SkekLa In reply to mamc1986 [2017-02-25 15:46:42 +0000 UTC]

I think it was never stated if the eye was truly gone or not!Β 
At the novelisation he was suposed to indeed have a lens fitting an empty socket, if I remember right...and at the Pre-production notes, too. BUT, In the movie, SkekTek's counterpart has two normal and healthy eyes! So...I suspect Tek might just be putting on that lens "like a boss" XD And not because he truly needs it (tho it might really help him see better!)
Thanks for enjoying the comic! ^^

I love this, so gorgeous. great work

Skek-tek: Where's my lens?
(Lady Despair turns around with the lens in her right eye.)
Skek-Tek: Mother!?
Lady Despair: It's cool looking, also...(she holds up small board with tiny puzzle pieces) I needed to put this together.

Hey, your right. If Skek-tek removed his eye, why didn't his Urru have a missing eye?

I don't know! either it's a smallest continuity error (hppens to anyone! ) OR...Tek was just bluffing with his lens!

Hehehe, oh this is a really funny idea, I love this comic!
So the eyepiece is actually an accessory? XD Well, skekTek is quite the fashion-conscious skeksis, perhaps this is not a surprise given his name in the perfume business blackphoenixalchemylab.com/sho… XD

On a more serious note, coincidentally I had always thought the same thing I don't think any canon source (or even the novelization, now that I come to think of it) has ever said that he is missing an eye. The Illustrator has a good point here, almost all fans I bet have assumed that Tek only has one eye, the poor dear XD

SkekLa In reply to ZureLazuli [2017-02-25 15:55:16 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha I am so glad to see you like this idea and comic, Azure!!
It seemingly is! XD but who would've thought??
HAHAHA yes!!! he hd tried to keep the facts unknown about him mnding the perfume business But he's all into it! *glam skeksis*

Exactly! I think only the pre-production notes have ever stated Tek (and his UrRu Tih) missed an eye! But it does look like the idea didn't come through the last mis-en-scene, and even though La and most of the fans assumed Tek had just one eye, the lend might have been purely...er..."ornamental"? If we may call it so! XD

Hmm, I just went to read the pre-production notes on skekTek (I never copied them to my computer for some reason, damn it <.<) but I just discovered that the Book of Habidabad was taken down 10 days ago, and is now pending deletion Do you have a copy of the skeksis notes? I regret so much that I didn't copy them when I could u.u
