I wanted to address something regarding the latest comic release.
I know a few of the fandom were disappointed by the conclusion. Alot of us had presumptions about how characters should have been written & how the comics tie into the lore.
It is valid to not agree & have criticism against the the recent comics, not everything was perfect.
But I cannot stress this enough, PLEASE KEEP IT CIVIL. Constructive criticism and flat out harrassing & being rude are two different concepts. I know the franchise is very special to some people and it deserves respect. But the people who take time and resources to produce content also do.
I am surprised that the franchise is still getting content especially at such rough time. I want to continue to support what I love in the most respectful way possible. My greatest fear is that the fandom becomes toxic and unwelcoming, and I don’t want the relationship between fans and writers to become strained (SU fandom ex.)
Likes: desserts, luxury, drinking, sword fighting, being praised, his parents, baking, early mornings.
Dislikes: Skekzok, Skekok, being confined to the castle, being challenged, losing in sport, academics, Gossip.
Role in the castle: Skekyum is the castles head pastry chef and had been mentored by his father skekayuk. Though he wants to please his parents as the castles pastry chef.
He secretly aspires to be a great swordsman.
Though skekyum had shown great skill with a sword he had been forbidden to practice by the emperor. Reason given that the emperor had been afraid skekyums youth and strength would allow him to overthrow him.
Skeksil on the over hand had seen this as a opportunity to use skekyum as a pawn. Secretly mentoring him away from The castle. To train him as one of his personal bodyguards.
Though because Skekyums naivety and vainess he is only been interested in impressing his fellow court members.
Skekyum is missing a few teeth due to his tendency to bite others. He had been punished by skekzok who pulled out his canines.
Skekyum looks up to skekung because of his strength and no-nonsense attitude.
Skekyum loves his parents but wishes they would be more assertive when it came to the castles social structure.
Skekyum has a tendency to be seduced & manipulated by pretty skeksis, specifically the Emperor’s offspring.
He has a extensive shoe collection he is fond of.
He takes after skekekt in appearance, but skekayuk in personality.

I will draw any character you would like be it from a fandom or oc’s (please provide references). I will not draw N/S/F/W art or hate art of any kind.
I saw a lot of people doing this and decided to check mine out!
This year was great for my Tumblr art page!! gained 500+ followers and this motivated me a lot to keep drawing stuff :D Also almost all my fav fandoms are here, nice :d
Skekmal - The Hunter sketch commission! Had a blast at Grand Rapids Comic Con and did some really fun commissions that I’ll be posting this week. Always great to see con family and friends as we come to the end of the con season!
Oh-oh, SkekZel doesn’t seem very motivated to perform in your play, don’t take it personally SkekSard, he knows nothing about your art!
Thanks again @feusus for letting me draw your fantastic Oc !
It’s me who has to thank you!!! Thank you so much for drawing my boy!!!
I love how he looks in your style and the attitude you gave him! He tries to use his inexistant charm to convince SkekZel, but I’m sure that soon he will notice that it doesn’t work and try his classic method: being a brat!
Thank you again for this! SkekZel looks interesting, I love his costume design and how you incorporated the symbols Brian Froud created for the Skeksis. It has a lot of thoughts and details, I would really like to draw him one day.
Ok look, I am team Gelfling all the way, but if people like the Skeksis and enjoy making their own Skeksis characters, headcanons, etc., then imma let them fucking be! It’s not that hard
Obviously the Skeksis are evil as all hell, but as many ppl have pointed it out, they’re fictional, as in not even real, you can do whatever you want with them so long as it’s not something super fucking inappropriate that you’re shoving down ppl’s throats and forcing them to agree with.
Just leave Skeksis fans alone. That’s all I’m gonna say.
THIS, OP!!!
I’m leaning a bit more towards the Gelflings and UrRus/Mystics lately, but I love you, Skeksis fans! The ones I know and who I’m friend with completely disagree with their actions and just love their horrible selfs. They’re just having fun with them because they’re fictional!
Personally I love the Skeksis because of their designs and how they are a satire of our real world villains. Caricatures and satires helps us to laugh at some of our real world problems or/and make us understand them better. It can actually be pretty healthy! In the other hand, I love the Gelflings because of their rich cultures and how I care about the characters or identify myself in some of them.
This is my main reasons for why I love both, but you can find many others. Both can be interesting! Also it’s okay if you hate the Skeksis or find the Gelflings boring. But leave the Gelflings vs Skeksis war to the show!
So…SkekLi time! That’s not really his final design. As I’m planning to make a full body drawing (as I did for SkekSa) I just drew the first thing that came to my mind. He will get some adjustments in the final drawing, I think he looks too cute, somehow…Haha…
