Description This was just a fun little challenge I did for myself, redrawing one of the pages from Creation Myths comics in my own style.

I drew this all in pen and pencil. Never again, it took much too long XD and I hate skekSo's crown here, I wanted to make something simplistic because this is set so early on, but it just looks messy XP but I like the design I came up with for Shod, he looks sort of piratey to me XD

SkekSo: *straighten's himself, spins his staff in his hand before twacking Shod behind the head* Quiet you. Your Emperor commands you.

Yeah, I actually like your version than the original version. Here they look so much like the Skeksis we know and also distinguishable.Β 
So I really like this. ^^

Thank you The art of "TDC: Creation Myths" was really offputting IMHO, the skeksis looked like unrecogniseable decomposing roadkill (and none were recognisable in the slightest) and the gelflings all looked like expressionless mannekins made of gnarled wood XD I'm still glad they made the prequel comics, but the art left much to be desired.
Thank you for liking this

Actually to be honest I have to agree with the rest of you on this.Β

Gonna have to go with Kel and La on this - and mind you this are the words coming out of an Aspie. Yes, your imagining of the skeksis do look a whole lot better than the way they're presented in Creation myths. Great story-lines, but the design for the skeksis lacked the physical individualism we were told of in Henson's original works besides just their armor and accessories and leave little to the imagination. Β 

You and SkekLa however bring them to life in both your drawings. Β  Β

Indeed, none of the skeksis in Creation Myths were recognisable as individuals from their appearances, most notably in skekVar (he looked nothing like he did in Legends )

aww, that is very sweet of you to say! And I love La's work too!

that's very sweet of you to say, Kel. My favourite panel is the last too, Shod's expression there was very fun to draw

Shod looks like he told a KILLING JOKE Which, in some way, it is ^^

...So...WHAT if I did say I like this version you did a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than the original?
I know, possibly there will be fans who'll feel angry at me for saying that, but to be honest, I *personally* Β didn'tΒ like the design they gave the young skeksis in the original comic...YOURS do look youthful, strong and simply far beautifuller!
Much as the old descriptions of their looks by Henson and Froud ad stated, years and years ago! ^^
I fluff in pride to see such precious comic...I love it!
NOW, Ican say I truly like this page! XD
INSTANT FAVE, FRIEND!!

P.S.1_ SkekSo's crown made of what looks like thin metallic leaf-shaped plates, looks truly nice to me!

P.S.- The Emperor's face at the last frame...we all know what happens next XD...Shod, dodge and run! NOW!...Xd

Haha, I don't think many of us skeksis fans liked the designs they went for in the original. The lack of hair, the ancientness, the dead-looking eyes, it just didn't add up for the skeksis when they were still so young. This was just for fun though, haha, I was curious to see what it would look like if I redrew a page. ^^

Thanks for your kind words ^^

And yes, poor Shod, he really didn't see what was coming next!

ABSOLUTELY AGREEING to every point adressed by you there!...
Their general aspect was that of MUMMIFIED THINGS, much moreancient looking than even those from the film!!! how come?!
Pffff.
I PRAISE YOUR IDEA, and your remake of it!...I sincerely fell in love with the looks you gave to them all!

You earned all of praises, my friend! ^^

Poor fellow...but really, noone was expecting that!
