Description
This is my sculpt of SkekNa, the skeksis Slave Master.SkekNa is somewhat of a brute, herding slaves like cattle, always pleased to push, kick or shove them over as to make them hurry in their choirs.
If a slave happened to tilt or disobey, whatever the reason, he wouldn't hesitate to harm or even maim them.
His right eye is a blind socket he covers with a leathery patch, and his left hand has been lost and was replaced with a metal hook.
He was known amongst the court for remaining almost always evilly silent, and used to make tally sticks out of some "mistery meat" (perhaps slaves!) and feed them to his hungry companions whenever they were not satisfied with their copious meals.
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!

Certainly not!!
Poor SkekLa did just that in the first serious comic I'm currently making to introduce her on a consistent way into the court...

Awww, hope she got a hug or something afterwards. I think one would be traumatised after an encounter with him!

YAY!
Na was a difficult sculpt, due to the scars on his face and the manner in which his skin wrinkles, unlike the others, he seems to have LOTS of small vertical wrinkles through his face...that was a tough thing to recreate!

He tries his best!
But that eye patch and hook turn him into the "mysterious bad boy" between the court.
That, and teh fact that he's mostly silent, and staring through that only eye of his...It's like the hate energy he beams through taht sole eye can burn a hole through your brain!!!

Even though he's a big meany, I like him most. I think his outfit and the sculpt of the character is awesome. That and we both got eye patches, haha!

He looks even more terrifying facing forward. Not that Skeksis to make angry.

Exactly...if you know what I mean and I think you do *holds up an iron carapaced finger, clearly broken and scarred*

*sighs* The only good thing I ellicited from all that is the fact that now I am able to scribble down a bit with my iron claw's tip whenever I forget my quill, which almost never happens, anyways...hmmm...and now that I think about it, there's also the chance that in future disputes with that old resented coot I might as well rid him of his other eye, should he not be reasonable...yes...
I mean not to harm anybody, but...if he gets phisically violent...there is always the claw!...*Snicker* This claw he has bestowed upon my very hand...

An eye for an eye is not worth it.

Do you think it is not?
I may take advise from you, my dear friend, since you seem to me as a wise one.
I may refrain my want to avenge my finger...as long as he never makes a violent approah at me again.

Well, be sure to keep a good distance from him and makes sure not to get on his bad side.

I will surely do that, friend...I rather not go into any more troubles because of him.
