The Dark Crystal is a 1982 British and American fantasy film directed by puppeteers Jim Henson and Frank Oz, creators of The Muppet Show. Although still marketed as a family film, it was notably darker than previous material created by them. Characters for which they are famous do not appear, but some of the same performers are used. The animatronics used in the film were considered groundbreaking. The primary concept artist was the fantasy illustrator Brian Froud, famous for his distinctive faerie and dwarf designs.

Personally, I think the world of The Dark Crystal is the only thing comes close to The Lord of the Rings in terms of sheer scope, both thematic and creative.
I grew up loving The Dark Crystal and was very excited when AoR came out while I was in middle school. I'm a hs senior now and have pretty much given up all hope for a season 2.
I've never read any of the comics/books but I desperately want to see how AoR would end. I know the movie shows us basically how the world ended up, but I want to see what happens in between. Is AoR continued/going to be in the dark crystal literature?
It's Chamberlain isn't it? Mine is Skekung.
We watched the Dark Crystal a few weeks ago and my 8 yr old was dead set on going as Fizzgig.
I wish there was a Dark Crystal video game where you just get to explore Thra. The worldbuilding is one of my favourite parts of the franchise, and I have the bestiary but I want more!
I would like to be able to create a character [a Gelfling or maybe a Podling] and have them go to different locations and interact with different creatures. I want mechanics for catching a fizzgig, or eating glow-moss, and maybe having to hide from the Skeksis but that is a lower priority for me. I want to see renders of all the structures, plants and animals.
Thank you for reading. I have nothing more to say.
Just a silly thing I put together with all of the footage I got back from the ren faire lol
I had an idea to make my own Chamberlain costume (bc all the costumes online are shit) and I was going to use cardboard (structure) and paper mâché (texture and paint), and I was wondering how I should do the head, mouth wise, bc I want it to go with my mouth when I open and close my mouth, how do you guys suggest I should do that. I will also post the costume when complete here (even if I don’t finish before Halloween, I’ll still work on it for next Halloween)
Dance Skeksis dance.
a tonal study I did a while ago for my university homework, im absolutely in love with deets character!!!!! if you like this I'd appreciate if you checked out my Instagram art account!! username is @azzfek
I had a face prosthetic to make my face more Gelfling-like, but ran out of time to perfect it. I’ll share once I get the whole thing finished!
Apologies if this has been answered somewhere I did check but could only find very old posts.
I loved the Netflix series and want to start reading the comic's + general world lore but I cannot figure out the order in which to start.
As it stand it appears there is "Complete Collection" editions of various stories from that world. Which seem like a great option but I'm still left not knowing the order in which to read them or if I'm missing any books that arent compiled into a complete collection.
To summarise if I want the full story of The Dark Crystal world + world lore what should I add to my amazon basket? 😅
