Description This is just the same sheet on the Chamberlain's expressions...but colored. 
I know, this is repetitive but please, bear with me, people! ::
I just thought to color them to see "how it came up" and...I like the results enough as to upload them as well!...Just in case someone finds the colored version more tasty to the eye!

All of these expressions crack me up.   And you did an awesome job bringing Skeksil to life here.

THANK YOU!^^
Although I admit this chart is a little old, nd my poor Chamberlain tended to hve a roundy banana-beak then...
I might get a new version of this one done son, maybe...I just need time!

He's a cutie!!! I think he's an endless pit of expressions...if one gets them out of that attempt at being arrogant he has all over him! But honestly, poor guy, who could blame him in the court he lives within???

Thanks Guei-Girl! ^^
It was tricky, but fun to make!...Now the others are in line for filling this meme up! (Though I've been trying with skekUng, and ALL his faces seem to range only from "Rage" to "Bitter bitter anger" XD
EVEN HIS "Happiness" Looks more  like "Possessed by a killing hatred"

I like how you draw and colour each expression.
I meant, they are not human and you can perfectly draw the expression :-D

Thank you so much, KaiKaiNat!
I am happy you like how the expressions look!
Yes...it is kinda complicated to distort a non-human face into expressions which are intended to mean something to humans .
I fought my temptation to not paint it...Lately I'm afraid of color...because I always am afraid to ruin things when I paint them...but I decided to get out of my "comfortable area" and try it...and I'm quite happy with how they look! I think I'll do a chart for each one of them in time!...

But your colouring is not that bad.
like the one in this: smeagolisme.deviantart.com/art…

I always believe the colour is one of the greatest power I can add in drawing. I'm suck in inking instead, and yeah, lately I don't ink my drawing.

Oh my gosh, this is wonderful. I desperately need to learn how to draw people consistently. It take me forever two get two different pictures a person similar, and you do it so well all the time. He's wonderful.

Does he ever flirt with anyone?

I love the sarcastic and the WTF faces! Those are my favourite. XD

SkekLa In reply to SorisSquirrel [2014-04-20 01:57:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Your words make me feel proud!
All I can say is...my only formula to draw consistently is to reduce your character's face to basic shapes. their faces can look like potatoes, beans, or geometric figures like spheres, cones or squares. It depends on the characters. Once you know how your character's face basic shape is, use that shape as a guide. In the case of this skeksis, he's basically a "cone inserted in a ball". The ball stands for his head and the cone for his beak. Once you have this concept, just grab those forms and twist them, distort them, turn them in different angles, and locate where the character's features fit within those shapes. That will help you through it! ^^
 

I took a minute and made this...sorry about the quality...I suck at drawing with mouse...but it's all I could do for now! I hope it helps! ^^


About flirting... Not in the movie...but in some fanfictions he DOES!...^^

He did look funny in those two didn't he?

OMG

This awesome! Thank you!
I will treasure this.

I'll let you know when I've successfully drawn a person multiple times and they look the same. Did that make sense?

Of course he would in fanfiction

Yesh. But adorable as well?

With the Skeksis, definitely easier to do with Sil, as at least from the movie, he was the only one that could 'actually' smile.

SkekLa In reply to dondena [2014-04-20 02:07:38 +0000 UTC]

Yep...Oh no, wait!...SkekEkt smiled too!...Or...at least I though he did...O.O

I am thinking to make a chart for each skeksis if I can...I ponder 'd like that!
