Description
This is my sculpt of SkekSil, the skeksis Chamberlain.SkekSil was known by his fellows, more than anything, for the whimpering sound he used to make whenever he either had an idea, or was scheming something...or even when he simply wanted to unsettle them!
His chanting murmur drove the others crazy, and his cunning ways set them all in warning against him.
However troubles SkekSil tended to have with his fellows, he always managed to ellicit some kind of sympathy, if even a short duration one, from the others, with honeyed words and sweet manners. Through his words and his cohersing ways he usually got what he desired.
His duties were as a secretary in chief to the empire, supervisor of economy (for which he managed the wealth SkekShod the Treasurer hoarded) and time by time he had acted as a diplomat, whenever the times required so.
Being second in line to the throne after the decease of the ruling Emperor SkekSo, SkekSil attempted to seize the scepter of command, which led to a confrontation with the powerful and brutal Garthim Master SkekUng.
Being physically weaker, SkekSil lost and was ravaged, stripped off everything he had and banished, while his enemy gained the throne and the scepter.
His cunning ways drove him to plot, even in his worst moment, against this decrete, and he regained his position in time, after many wanderings, clad in rags, pursuing his way back to the Castle: two live gelflings...but that is another story...
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!

Check you out, a master of clay as well as ink. He looks fantastic.
(SkekSil number 3 in your house-eventually, at this rate, you'll end up with an army of him)

AWWWWW THANK YOU!!!!
You are making me blush like crazy, here!
Yes! Sil does look fab in his blood red garments...O believe he's happy to have gained them back...He's got reasons to smile egein, tho, in my house they'll never get Urskekked back...sp I ponder they'll continue their...now small reign of horror at home...with the constant issue that I'd hug them instead of dreading them...CONSTANTLY.
"Awww, HOW CUTE!...they want to rule the world under their whim...!" *Squeezing skeksis*
3?...I think he's the number 2, actually...
Let me think...
There's the Neca figure, and that's one...
There's this sculpt, that makes them 2...
AH! The small one? He is not Sil, he's an unnamed skeksis by a good friend who also sculpts dolls and things! She gave him to me as a Birthday present, and I've renamed him SkekMin, in memory of one of the characters from a fanfiction by , which presents sons from the skeksis, which I also drew some time ago...SkekMin is the smallest and wittiest of the Chamberlain's two sons in that story: the new Schemer for the court.

Mechanic-Star In reply to SkekLa [2015-01-28 05:00:21 +0000 UTC]
Well, NECA surely did a fine job, but you can tell the artist behind where ""professionals""... but they didn't quite looooved the movie (for them is just work, sometimes turns out "awful" -usually when doing humans-, others just "bad"... then, there's a "ok/good", and *then* you have the "quite cool" or "extremely beautiful" steps, like Smeagol from NECA goes into the "extremely beautiful" category... the NECA Chamberlain goes into "quite cool" -one step behind-, specially being so little -next-to-nothing- merchandising of the movie itself, that gives him extra points other NECA more popular or common characters usually don't have...), in any case, being without internet for a wile did something good after all, like my mama' always say "No hay mal que por bien no venga"

Hehehe yes...I was going to make them anyways, but I recognize I started to make them quicker in the hopes that it would be a sort of diversion for me, to de-cloud my poor head from the incoming surgery, the lack of internet which I didn't know when would be fixed, and every other thing that worries me at the time...TOO MUCH FOR ME THESE DAYS...I seriously need it all to end, and to end fast and well...I need a happy ending..please, if even for once...

Thank you, dear friend!
I gave these guys my heart while making them...maybe that shows through!...
My "brother" the Chamberlain couldn't be less thah flawless, eh?...I even added some extra lace he didn't originally have, in the sides of his robe's "tail"...suits him well, I believe!
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH!!!!
