'skekSalt' the Skeksis
This is skekSalt, my puppet/costume of my original Skeksis character. I love the Dark Crystal and have wanted to try my hand at a Skeksis for a while. I also love pirates, so when it came time to design my Skeksis I chose to style him on the most decedent pirate of all: Captain Hook (specifically Jason Isaacs Hook from 2003).
He is obviously inspired by the Dark Crystal but he is my own character and design. I sculpted his head and hand in clay, moulded them and cast them in latex. I built the mechanisms, the costume frame, and fabricated the costume. The eyes, teeth, hair punching, painting and all finishing was me too. So I'm too blame for his shortcomings haha.
I hope you all like him. I'm yet to decide on a title for him but he loves treasure, stalking the Sifan Coast, and sailing the Silver Sea as a pirate captain. Maybe some of you in this forum can help me come up with a title for him?
