This is a phenomenal costume/puppet! Great work! Its a shame to hear the children say "chicken" or "turkey". Most children don't even know what the hell The Dark Crystal is anymore. Thank you for keeping our film history alive through hard work and imagination :)

AMEN!! I am so sad more don't know the movie (I've had my kids watch on DVD, but I think I was jumping the gun, as the beginning is a bit slow, and they were still young!)... but the costume is PHENOMENAL!!! I would not be surprised to hear you say you worked in the Henson shop and this was one of the prototypes you somehow were able to keep... it's AMAZING work... OH- and I was so hoping to see you at the end (meaning see you remove the costume and take a bow!! )

I really appreciate the compliment. You're right about the head...it was a puppet. My head was at the very back of the costume with my right arm extended forward operating the skeksis head. So that I could see, I had black screen on the front below the head and on the sides just behind the shoulders.

I did use a tutorial listed on the instructables website...it was a big help and really got the ball rolling. By the way, your cover of the soundtrack was very impressive!

That's really neat, but so much wasted potential. If it were me (and I may do this one year) I'd be going after the little ones screaming "Gelfling, kill the Gelfling!!" Or "MINE! I am STILL Emporer!!" Something more than just screeching--though it worked pretty nicely, I can't deny...
@DanSolo01195 жыл бұрын
I think that particular Skeksis was the Treasurer, who had the least lines and was more of a background character. And I think the Treasurer would be more concerned about his treasure than who was Emperor or where the Gelflings were.

@CandiceTu86 I really appreciate your comments. This was definately a "learn as you go" project. I used a skeksis tutorial from instructables for the basics. I added all the rest of the detail by studying the creature from the movie. The costume was very tedious at times but I really enjoyed making it. All and all, it took around four months and many LONG nights to build. As far as the head/jaw movement, the head basically functions as a large puppett operated by my right hand and arm.
@CandiceTu8612 жыл бұрын
Wow. Just. Wow. This costume is amazing. Well done, sir. Here's an idea: You should film a tutorial on how to make these and post it as well. I think a lot of people who are less creative (namely, myself) would appreciate that! 'Cuz I want one of these...BADLY....and I think the process of making it would be phenomenal. Or, if you want to make a few extra bucks, I'm sure there would be some interest in purchasing these costumes. :) Very impressive!! How do you move the head/lower mandible?
