Description
This is my sculpt of SkekAyuk, the skeksis Gourmand!SkekAyuk's love for food is unmatched, he relishes in thick gravies, delicious sauces, spicy things and sweet liquours...
He used to say he had a different menu for every meal, which is incredible when we are talking about creatures who have lived for a thousand years!!!
Fat, slothful and demanding with his kitchen slaves, SkekAyuk was a part of the allegiance with SkekSil The Chamberlain and SkekEkt the Ornamentalist.
He was always seen nibbling some sweet tidbit or crunchy snack between meals, and carried a special giant lace handkerchief to dab his mouth from the slob of his constant chewing.
He is made of Cold Porcelain clay and cloth, and painted with acrylics...every detail pit into him and his fellows (whom you'll see in latter pictures) were completely made by hand.
ENJOY!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT OWN any of the skeksis or other Dark Crystal characters. Their races, likenesess and particular personalities and demeanor were created by, and are property of Jim Henson,Brian Froud, Frank Oz and the many people who worked in the making of The Dark Crystal (1982)*

oh wow fantastic job with this one too!, it's making me want the whole lot even more! I'm just blown away by your accuracy with the clothing!

Awwwww it is so sweet from you to say that!!!
Yes, I could even say I took that much care in making them and their outfits accurate, screenshots nearby, drawings and such over everywhere so I could recreate what I saw, that it was less like crafting them and nearly more like giving birth to them!
Hard, hard labor...but paying obsessive attention to detail, one can tweak them!

*shudder* eck-even in clay he's grotesque *shudder* but I am on who can appreciate quality beyond the ugly-were I a Gourmand fan, I'd probably be gushing. But I am not. He is still the only Skeksis able to make me cringe so.

Hahahah I have heard that a certain good number of times!
I always wondered why is it so.
He's scarily fat and huge, but I kinda don't find him as threatening as the others...
Might it be due to his habit of making food out of anything, meaning humans could even enter his manus too?
The way in which his clithes pop off because of his size?
The wine stains and incrysted food all over him?...
Ugh...okay I think I get it now...though I do like this big guy too.

It's not necessarily fear of him, for me at least. He just....I dunno what it is about him that makes me cringe in his presence. The dudes gross! His just being there...Uhg-I don't know what it is about him, I just can't stomach being around him, let alone be too close to him
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heheheh, I know what you mean...although, is it not strange how the most beauty-loving skeksis in the entire court, the Ornamentalist, seems to favor him in special ways?...Is it not amusing how co,ortable he looks being around that huge food dispenser?

Another bizarre paradox brought to you by the Jim Henson company! XD
It is VERY odd how they work so well together in their companionship when you'd think he'd be as grossed out by the gourmand as I am-and I'm not even all that fancy, nana-tutsie as he is....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes indeed!...
Fancy-nana-tutsie-prissy-ladylike-Flamboyant-lacefilled...OOPS!...There he comes, quick, pre3tend we were talking about anything Else!...
Hmmm...take note that he's coming by with the Gourmand...*cough*...ahem.

These are so amazing ;A; How long did it take to make them?

Aboit three days for each, a bit more in some cases...theGourmand was so fat that it took me some time to sculpt him because the first layers of clay wouldn't dry off asnd Icouldn't keep on working on him intol he was dry, so i started with another and let him be, and so forth...hard, but it worth it, nowe I have models for when I doubt about anything while drawing them!,,,,that, and I love them!

Wow! That sounds like a lot of work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It certainly was! ^^ But it was worth it!

Might be...that, or wine stains...poor SkekAyuk, we even get to see his breasts marking all over his shirt...he should save some desserts, but he'd kill me if I tried to even suggest that to him!

No offense to the Cook but "Ewww." >x<
Yeah, he most definitely would.

Yes...I know...but try and tell that to the Ornamentalist!...Being one of my close allies, it is hard to go tell him his "special friend" needs to gold out the sweets or else he would have to make him a specially big tablecloth so he can dress with it!...Soon, no robes will be able to adapt to..to ALL THAT.
Yes...that, too. He would consider creating the first cannibalistic skeksis delicacy if I were to tell HIM he's way too fat by now...and if I do tell the Ornamentalist about it in hopes he can get him to stop eating if even for a minute...he'd certainly be offended, and simply go to him with a lot of screeching complains...which would lead to the same conclusion!!! U_Uu
