Description Entry for the_labyrinth_club's Seasons contest; winter, obviously. Painted in PhotoShop using two reference photos: The Labyrinth movie still for the background, and movie still from the crystal ball scene. Jareth's costume is not identical to the ballroom scene -- I couldn't find a shot with a clear view so I composed something in the same style.

EDIT April 2, 2010: I won, I won, I won!

It was the thought running through mine too. That, and of course, His Nibs would never just build a regular snowman wiffa carrot nose.

Oh man. xDD I can see many of his little minions being banned to the Bog of Eternal Stench for making a craptacular snow-carving of Sarah with a carrot nose and stick arms. xDD

This is just gorgeous! I love Jareth's somber expression and how this sort of acts as a metaphor for his situation. Poor Goblin King, still in love, frozen in a moment long gone... Sad how he had tried to tempt Sarah to stay with him in that ballroom and got lost in there himself.

God, Labyrinth makes me want to make it more philisophical than it really should be!

Again, beautiful job!

But that is exactly what gives the movie its appeal and makes it more than just another funny critters story: it's incredibly detailed behind the scenes, and you can just keep on diggin'!

This is a beautiful composition, I love the simplicity of it, it makes the piece elegant and melancholic. Just lovely. Good luck!

OMFG! This is... (squee!!) I looove how for once, we see the labyrinth/maze covered in a layer of pure white snow. ;3; It looks crystallized/and or fluffy :3.
-
At 1st I though Sarah was like a ghoslty image (Jareths' dream bubble stuff? XD).

Can't get over the detail put into it.
An I love the originality put into J-Fae's clothing^^ stunning!

The sky almost seems like the 'Southern lights'/Aurora. with bright greenish tints over the snow-y peaks of the castle .

CURSE YOU! For making Jareth so yummy and good >C (LOVE YOU! )
His blue hair streaks go perfectly with the theme

Sarah is really just an ice statue... Jareth wants to kiss it (End up getting his lips frozen to hers !)
dancing with a block of ice.
Sorry for ruining the image with my silliness x).

Pretty and neat how they fade to white around the border image/frame^^.

As they say "A perfect white winter/Xmas'.

Oh squee. Now you tempt me badly to break away from boring background work on "Autumn" in order to paint Winter pt 2, In Which Jareth Tries To Tear His Face Loose. -laugh-

I don't know, there was just something about Jareth and his whole illusion theme that said 'snowman' to me -- and of course, His Nibs wouldn't settle for something simple. I -was- going to do a snow Escher room first but then... then... Yes.

Bwahah! YESSS! X3 DRAW ET. >3
... My Autumn picture was sorta fail (epic fail leaves pile XD).
LMAO! That so needs to be done >v< (I got the idea from 'Around the Twist' The kid kissing and ice carved girl).
-
I'm good with the whole comical/cartoon-y faces stuff... maybe I could? (Was in the middle of drawing good stuff though D: ).
Ice figures? = <3 THAT'D BE EVIL-HARD (To paint ice figure FX).

Pwahah! OOOOOHHHH! O3O Escher sounded great!^^
Well I do love this 1, so I certainly ain't complaining(Even though Escher was probably a most fav scene of mine).
How on earth do you pull off a winter Escher to begin with? XD

Most certainly welcome.^^

Pulling off a winter Escher was the problem that got me started on alternatives! After all, it'd just be a roofless stair room in white instead of sand brown... yay.

Yes! Do it! You're far better at parody than I am! I want to see His Majesty's pretty lips attached to the Ice Queen! Gwahahaaa!

... at least there's a long time to February 1, there's time to fail epically on Autumn repeatedly. I'm currently practising my epic fail on leaves too.

OKAAY!^^ I got a sketch done for it. And I laughed throughout the whole process.
Yes Jareths' pretty (blue) lips are frosted to hers now... as is his hands etc.
-
I thought it appropriate for him to cuss in a comical situation, trying to say the most improper word too, but since he's all frosty, it came out as more 'OO' than a 'u'.

>_> I find it hard to join their faces though >_< ... lets just say Jareths' trying an attempt at pulling away frantically. Caught by Hoggle x) !

I could think many titles.
So far I have: DRAMA ON ICE! XD

Imma call it a gift to you, for the laughs... collaborative mind ideas?

Yes it does seem quit ...plain. Snow on the steps, or turn them into ice mirrors hehehe. (Damn you again... giving me creative ideas.)
...I think slippery ice-like, mirror stairs seems cooler (LMAO. NO JOKE/PUN INTENDED XD).
JARETH ''FALLING DOWN'' ICE-Y STAIRS! XD (I just realized it has the song line too)
EPIC LULZ.

XD Bwahahah! OK OK. I SHALL X] (Although kissy scenes make me cringe. I'll only do it for funnies I HAVE NEVER DRAWN A KISSY SCENE D
(Laughing self stupid).

Teheheeee x) agreed. (We already had the autumn contest for what I did).
OH GOD have an epic fail-fun time with those. I found a simple piece of basic leaf shapes, it helped. MOSTY I WAS TOO LAZY TO BOTHER MAKING 1,000'S OF LEAVES (all piled/drawn on top 1 another x_x)

...I am so crediting you for the ideas THANKS!

Thank you! Unfortunately, Winter is the only one I have a relatively simple idea for. Spring, I suspect, is going to be murder.
