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"

Ha! ;D You did and you do. I have not seen it yet, but it's waiting for me when the time is right. I'm going to get cozy in my house while the husband is out, close the blinds, light some candles and watch Bowie videos until I have to turn it off and retreat.

I can't wait to see your drawing. ^_^

Lmao.. I didn't know you were MARRIED? How cute. I'd be pretty secretive about a Bowie crush if I was married, too. hahaha.

I'm probably going to practice more before doing anything final

O gad, considering all the various terrible crushes I've had that poor J's had to deal with, he's relieved at my Bowie love. He likes Bowie. I know he'd rather have a huge drawing of Bowie on the mantle than one of Taylor Hanson. ;D

LilLyon In reply to lily-fox [2007-12-29 02:00:03 +0000 UTC]

So, I JUST realized that the Taylor Hanson you've been drawing/talking about it is one of the guys from that band "Hanson" x) Hahahah, omg!
I used to listen to that "Mmmbop" song ALL the time back in the 90's. *shot*

LMAO
My friends go crazy enough as it is when I start blabbing about people like Jake Gyllenhaal, or Adrien Brody, or Daniel Craig, or Hugh Laurie, or even.. starting recently, David Bowie. My husband (if I had one.. lol, I'm 17, so, of course not) would probably commit suicide if I talked about them as much as I do to my friends X) ahahhaha.

Well... my husband is my best friend, so he understands. He's so patient. Funny how that works---you love someone enough to put up with all their shenanigans.

LilLyon In reply to lily-fox [2007-12-29 03:30:48 +0000 UTC]

Lol, very cute.


ekfhjfhkrhfrkh... I upload that Bowie pic later tonight. I want to draw more stuff to scan up at the same time. Lol. Idk how it turned out.. okay, I guess? haha. I'll upload it later.
I've been trying to look for pictures of Mr. Bowie from THIS year to see what he's been up to, but I only found like.. 2, of him and Iman at some event. Is it just me.. or does the short haircut make him look older? Or maybe he just looks older because he's almost 61? Lol.. Idk, it seems like back in 2003/2004 he looked 40 when he was really 56/57. Hmmmm.. But he also kind of looks out of it in these pics. D: REHKRHGKRHGKR WHERE IS HE?

He's at home, living the daddy life. I understand he's had to take it pretty easy after his heart shenanigans. I hope he does; I want him to live forever.

Seeing pictures of him and Iman together make my heart burst open like a touch-me-not. ^_^ Their love makes me feel helpless and delicious.

LilLyon In reply to lily-fox [2007-12-29 03:50:30 +0000 UTC]

Awwww, cute. C: Yea, it kinda sucks. Especially since he had his heart attack not long after he wrote "Never Get Old". I listen to that song all the time and I'm like, "YEA.. BOWIE'S NEVER GOING TO GET OLD... HE'S GOD. GOD DOESN'T GET OLD AND DIE .....:[" As you can see, I have an issue with people dying...
And I feel super selfish, because I wanted to go see a concert of his so badly, at least once in my lifetime, .. but I don't want him hurting himself >_> :[

I'm so glad he has Iman <3 :,]

the hair texture is perfect, and i love the negative space in the bottom feathers! you do profiles beautifully, so many people struggle with that.

all in all, this picture is bringing sexy back

Ha ha! Your comment wins.

You know, I find it really difficult to draw a pair of people without doing them in profile, because when they interact they're always facing each other, you know? It's a total challenge to find ways NOT to put them in profile. But this time, I had to. ^_^

Ha ha, aww... I love her face. She's so beautiful. Maybe I love her because she looks so much like my sister. Which, in the context of this drawing sounds horribly wrong, but you know what I mean.

Thankya. I was going to put a whole lot of shenanigans at the top, some nutty design, but that would have raised the volume. I like how quiet it looks.
