Description
This is especially for , inspired by her latest delicious piece of fanfiction, in which Jareth tricks a grown-up Sarah into giving him ten hours in which to make her wish she'd never rejected him. It has YET to include a scene like this, but hopefully will soon, before my head explodes. So far it's been like nine chapters of posturing and maddening verbal foreplay.I was going to ink and color this, but I really like how it turned out in the sketch, so it stays.
Inspired by the lyric, feathers on my breath, from Massive Attack's "Teardrop". (Hear also the exquisite cover by Jose Gonzales.)
materials: pencil on heavy sketch paper, hue in PS.
music: Jeff Buckley, "Everybody Here Wants You"

Wow... You caught the emotions so well. He's taking his sweet time and she's a panting moaning puddle of extacy. I can almost hear her gasping. LOVE it!

I love that story that wrote. It's soooo good. And this picture is EXACTLY how I pictured it too which means she's good at weaving a clear mental pic. Love the illustration very hard. I wasn't aware I had so much Labyrinth/ Jareth fangirl in me but... apparently.

I generally don't like smut, but this is beautiful! I absolutely love the sketchiness and the composition and Sarah's expression, she's magnificent.

Thank you! I know what you mean -- it turns out a draw a lot of smut, but I'm not even a real fan of the genre. You know? It's about the atmosphere and emotion. So I'm glad you like this!

Okay I don't usually fave mid sex images. In fact I never do. But this one is just so beautifully drawn I'd have to be insane not to fave it! Excellent!

You know, your candor totally wakes me up to the explicitness of this thing.

Well in a sense it is. I mean if I saw this image when I was little I wouldn't know what it meant. I would just think it was a pretty picture. Even your smut aint all that smutty.

I wish I could fave this twice to express how much I love this piece!
Not only it is beautiful technically, in the perfection of the faces (shading, proportionality), the expressions, the hair...
But also the feeling of it as a whole, the way it is believable , the atmosphere! Almost as if we were there, making you forget your surrounding and dive into the scene, even if for only a couple of seconds, but that's the magic of it! (Did I mention I loved the feathers? You thought of everything!)
Of all the Labyrinth based work I've seen here so far (some of them really great stuff) this is my favorite (so far, hopefully you'll be inspired to do more)!
Keep up the amazing work!

Lovely piece, I actually found this after seeing someone's colored version of it. both lovely but I think there's something to be said about a piece this nice that is "only" linework.
Love it! We need more art like this for Labyrinth, dang it!

Just sexy enough without being overwhelmingly nudy.

I really love how you have Jareth's hair draped over his face. And your shading is subtle, but accurate. It's beautiful! You even nailed their profiles. Their every feature is spot on with the original actor! Amazing work!

This does look really nice as a sketch. I really like the subtle censoring of the nipple. Bowie's hair is really exquisite the way you drew it. It looks stiff in some parts, pliable in others. You can tell it has been teased even though you did not draw every strand. The only part I don't like in the hair is the shadow being outlined in the center. It seems slightly out of place, and I would suggest breaking it up, but maybe that's just me.
There is an admirable trait I have found recurring in your artwork. You can draw real people very well, and realistically with a slight stylistic tone. And you can draw many, many different characters in a slightly more refined version of their style. However, what I find most intriguing is your ability to create an interesting composition. That is one of my biggest struggles, and I admire that ability in you. This composition has almost an "Alphonse Mucha" air. Really, very well done.
