Ask Special -a concept of beauty

Description

Here I am with a small special edition of ASk the skeksis!

Why a special issue when I still have a full fledged folder filled with still unanswered questions and skecthes for their replies?...
Well, this was begging to be drawn!
It has been some time since I started this series of comic strips about the skeksis and their lives, where they answer anything you desire to ask from them...
The questions have arrived from all the places, yet here where I live there are very few people who truly remembers The Dark Crystal or anything about it.
I have nevetheless talked with some people who remembered it, more or less...and nearly all of them did remember the skeksis more than anything else from the movie...Almost each one of those persons who remembered it (with a few, refreshing and honorable exceptions!) did ask me the same question after seeing some of my strips and drawings. "Are the skeksis aware of just how UGLY they are?"

Here I could have monologued on and on about how beauty is a completely subjective concept, varying immensely from judge to judge, and how while at certain cases simmetry can be defined as the essence of beauty, purely simmetric features would look unnatural and strange since our small imperfections are what makes us "believably alive and organic" and so forth...

Instead, I simply did this comic...because apparently, the Chamberlain had a LOT to say about it. :giggle:

ENJOY!

I actually find avians more attractive than humans, and this is not me trying to be edgy. I grew up with the Donald Duck comics and the Duck family is very lovable compared to real-world humans.
