Description
Well...It was a hard decission to make, and perhaps (probably!) I could have made more adjustemnts to this for some coherency (LOL) but...here it goes!This is my first true TDC sketchdump ^^
It has a little bit of everything: gelflings from different clans, a lot of skeksis both canon and non-canon of course, an UrRu, a bunch of podlings, even some makeshift creatures some friends and I have collaborated on creating for setting them into the stories we carry along with, placed at the TDC -verse of choice!
If any of you don't recognize/want to know who the heck is it/wants to comment anything about a character, just ask! ^^
I really hope you'll like this giant mélange of characters!
I hope to have a new ASK page soon, they have been delayed since FOREVER!

Aww, La I love these so much!
First of all, love seeing your Li and Gra! They’re both so precious! Li’s expression kills me with laughter (LOVE his huge fluffy neck ruff too!) XD and Gra’s poise and dignity make him so lordly and grand
Secondly love seeing all your designs for the gelfling clans, Sifa is the prettiest IMO (and the Grottan’s huge eyes CONSUME MY SOUL! XD) and I see you included the little “horn nubs” on the one wearing a hat-thingy, YAY for obscure TDC knowledge!
Thirdly the creature designs are amazing, I love them! And all the skekLa’s and the skekMal’s, the young dancing skeksis, DAT grumpy paranoid precious Ung and all the other precious drawings here! I love them all!
What beautiful sketches

HAHAHA, Thank you so very much for having enjoyed this sketchy thing, friend!!
well, you've made a very insightful and amazing comment here if you ask me! ^^
I'll receive any further comment you wtto make if you feel you still got more to say tho! But only if you want, need, and have th time for it!
AWWW You liked my "gone skeks" HIHI Yes, Li is all about "fun and games" i my verse, mostly like yours! ^^ A truly jolly careless fellow! His fluffy neck ruff scrounges behind what looks like a stripped bell-adorned lyre, which is in fact the rim of his carapace ^^
Big old trusty Gra...I grew to like him because of your version of him! ^^
I got stuck with a more traditional -so to say- big old brute version, but I wanted to give hi the air and dignity of a conquering nobleman! It's awesome to know I managed!
YEY for clan looks!
It was amusing to try and imagine what the site descriptions for thm would actually look like! ^^
Sifa looks nice ad clever in this version indeed (ironically the headbanded horn-nubbed one is also a sifa, tho that's an old sailor nd the lady depicted up there in the clansgroup would be more close to her 40's and be rather more fair-faced
Me: Grottan...grottan!...STOP STARING!!! You'll scare people!!!
Grottan: ME? Scare? why?...*straightens his huge ears, looking like a crossbreed between tarsier and bat*
Me: GYAUGH!!
XD
YEYYY You also liked the little creatures, and the Mal's La's and the small paranoid Ung hunkering in a corner! ^^
Thaks so very much for appreciating this!
HAHAH I would never do less than having shared it with you, dear!
I am happiest to see you liked it! and glad to have uploaded it too! many others di enjoy it as you had predicted!
THANKS for your endless support, you're the cutest friend anyone could ever ask for!

Li’s sassiness is contagious, his expression just makes me laugh XD (though I worry about why he is laughing, what sort of prank has he pulled? XD), really love your design for him
Gra’s look is pure awesomeness too
That “tarsier” Grottan though XD
I really loved this, La 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Li is truly contagious on his mischievousness!!!
Hmm--what kind of prank is uncertain, tho I could most surely say it must have been nothing good at all!
I pity the one who has been subject to his pranks!
Gra is made of awesome!
Tarsier Grottan' eyes are pools of black doom...
Heheh I a s hapy to know you have loved it!!!

Thank you so much for liking it , Fluffy! ^^
Well---I'd lie to you if I said I know!
This big sketchdump is a colection of little various sketches which I had been doing all year long, mixed with some from 2016...so...I suppose I could say each of these small drawings might have taken around 20 or 30 minutes to get fully done, probably! ....tho I am not sure about the entire thing, since it took me a lot of time to colect and reunite all the sketches ^^

This is great! SkekLa and could be used as a great reference! especially for all the Gelfling clans! especially if I ever get around to drawing my Gelfling OC's, and your the only other person apart from Azure and possibly Rose whose ever drawn SkekGra! ( I use him myself) but I haven't drawn him, I portray him as a steady, solid sort a true commander . I love your drawing of him! especially seeing we know so little of him! And your portrayal of SkekLi is cool too, I like the carapace! and the amount of pictures of Mal! everyone seems to like Mal, and off course La, Kel, Du and Fer are always classics! I really like this SkekLa! it is beautiful! I also really like your critters they are really cute! I also like the picture of La sitting down! and your UrRu looks sad and UrRu! Love it! Well done! You really are an awesome artist!

AW, Charm! thank you for such an insightful and kind comment!!
Yes, this is what I imagine the gelfling traditional aspects , tho I don't know if the canon ones would look like mine at all
Gra---we rarely see any of him, and yes, I think Aure (who was the first) and now me were the only two to draw them so far! (poor Gra, he needs more love!)
Li's carapace is rimmed by what looks like a jingle-bell adorned lyre! XD---
Mal, he's just such a character...I couldt resist the temptation to add little Mals running round and even resting all around there! XD
And the crtters---I can't stop making up weirdbeasties for Thra! XD *As if it weren't populated enough!)
The classic Oc's from my 'verse are also there, as well as all canon skeks! ^^
Thanks for such a keen comment and for your support, friend!

Ooh! So pretty!
I love your little creature creations! That Keeki looks so adorable!
Every other Skeksis is at the center...and skekUng and skekNa are just hunkered at the edge. Antisocial, lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AW, hahah thanks, Animated!
The critter creatio has to be one of my favorite entertainments!
I love to design creatures and find them biological niches at their designed homeworlds..also to give them adaptations and try to make them make sense even if they're ridiculously fictional! XD---<3
OH MY, HAHAHA I had not noticed I did that!!Poor dudes...lol, I pointed them out as antisocial twats! *Tah would gladly agree to it, tho XD *
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet!
Tah would be sitting in a corner of the page, just barely poking out. He'd make Ung and Na look very social by comparison, lol

Ooh more sketches and they're really good! I see you're done your own take on the Gelfling species/clans and a little more on the skeksis that were deceased by the time of the film.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thks for enjoying these, Lighter! ^^
Indeed, I tried with the gelfling clan ethnic differences and likenesses, to see if I could design distinctive and fitting looks, and also with some of the skeksis who didnt make it to the film's timeline!...still must draw Var, Sa and Lach in some occassion (they may appear soon in a new comic page I'm making! ^^)

Each of these sketches and pencil drawings have soul
I love too, that there is so much Mal - you know how I admire this late skeksis and how it lifts my heart to see him doing many things, on this sketchdump <3
Thank you for lifting my mood with these characters and very particular creatures!!
You are the best artist I know and it's true!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AWWW, KEL!!!
Thank you for such kidest words!!! ^^
Hahaha I really try to give a soul to each tiny fellow which appears there!
It's amazing that you can sense that, my friend! ^^<3
Oh, Mal, he is just irresistible to draw! The old fellow's so dyamic and fun to pose and move around, I just can't draw enough of him!
Hahaha, I'm glad as can be to have amused you with these sketchies, and PLEASE, Don't be so GOOD!!! Best artist? so I wish I were! XD You're too kind to me, Kel! THANKS, Immensely, for such cutest comment!!!
