FINALLY! Getting to post some cool stuff.
And what happened to those Post-Comic-Con follow ups I promised? BAH! Right out the window with those. I've been back for over a week and have been chained to my desk. Literally. Im pretty grateful for the scraps they slide under my door though. Actually there is some really really badical stuff in the works right now that I'm very lucky to be a part of. Delving back into my roots in animation...
OK. Onto this piece. This was done for my buddy Jake Forbes and his book Tokyopop’s Return to Labyrinth vol.4 which is hitting stores this month! Like the plug? No? Too bad.
He asked me to do a pin up for the magical and final 4th volume to his New York Time's best seller and I jumped like a foaming dog at the opportunity. I sort of wish I had more time however, this was only done in 2 days.
If I were to touch the surface of how much I love this movie, the design, the story, the visual fucking genius that is Brian Froud (who I TOTALLY got to meet at SDCC), David Bowie............. and his "Bowie Constricter" Yeah I said it. It would fill tomes.
Anyways that's all for now. I might post some comic pages to pass the time soon. Until then I apologize once more for the neglect and I am very grateful for all the new followers! THANK YOU!

Haha thank you! I knew they needed those expressions from the time I started it. Im bad with likeness' so making the emotion convincing was one of the hardest parts.
Im glad it came through alright

too bad you didn't have more time. you could have added some kind of detail to his crystal. it seems kind of...wel blank. and maybe a background.
but otherwise I LOVE this picture. I wish I had half of your drawing skills. very awesome. the deail in the Labyrinth in Jareth's body/Sarahs hair must have been a bitch.
I haven't been to a book store in forever, so I havent been able to read the last volume. I REALLY want to. is it very good?

Thanks!
I intentionally left the orb blank (theres actually very minute shading in it) to be a center/focal point. The background is very blank, like you said I wish I had more time. But the more I look at it the more I think it could be cluttered with a background.
Im toying with the idea of coloring it so who knows, I might add something in the back

THIS IS AMAZING!! The sheet amount of detail is so beautiful the work and hours prob days mayb even weeks this took you was def worth it, it's stunning I love the maze as her hair and the goblins. The only thing I would say thats negative is her eyes look a lil spooky with no pupil

Thanks! It was done in 2 days actually, was on a tight deadline.
Yeah the eyes are supposed to add to the surrealism of the over all image, tried to give her a more dazed/dream like look. Glad you like it
