That is awesome! The skeksies were the highlight of Dark Crystal. All of them had such awesome designs. You've totally captured the essence of some of my favorite villians.

My only crit is more definition in HIS left hand. It looks kinda de-saturated compared to the HIS right hand. Unless its the light sourcing.

Yeah, Dark Crystal!
There's a great "making of" on the DVD.

Good painting melmann. Crits? The fact that the character is placed on the bottom of the canvas. Give him some more floor and it's perfect.

definitely more floor, as for the character itself, they sacred the beejeebies out of me, one thing that really scared me was their hands clawing at everything, especially when disrobing this character when exiled, seems the one crit I have is on the hands, they just seem to have a little too much meat on them, not nearly and bony with a little wrinkled flesh barely holding onto the bone, otherwise great pic good colours.
