Description
You were so proud, Jareth. But the right one will bring you to your knees.Like a mystery of Harris Burdick, I'm going to leave the story up to you.
Like a million years ago, when I was coming up on 500,000 pageviews, I took a poll to see which fandom I should service for my thank-you drawing. Labyrinth won out, which was kind of a surprise. I started this one but just couldn't make it work. I kept picking it up and tossing it aside for months. Well, I recently hit 600K, so I thought I should get off my can and finish this. And you know, it turned out really nicely, I think. I'm really satisfied with it. One of those rare examples of something turning out exactly the way I saw it in my head.
God, I miss the snow.
Some beautiful short stories, inspired by this drawing:
+ To Forgive Is Divine by Lady-Cobweb
+ Sea Whispers by crimsonspiral
+ Forgiveness by Chamaelirium
+ The New Year by greeneyesandglasses
materials: pencil on bristol
music: David Gray, "Flame Turns Blue"

They're for you to keep as daydreams, until such time as you can go on a writing binge.

You are just too sweet. I couldn't stand the wait any longer, because every time I looked Jareth's face in the first panel, my heart hits the floor with a thump - and I got tired of picking it up. I hope I can write another one later that actually does it justice!

You know, that little thing I wrote has the most faves of anything on my page.... I haven't written a word in a couple of years now, too busy um.... pretending my hubby is Bowie and making babies (we're up to three now, holy crap! Good thing this one was a girl, hubby didn't approve of Jareth as a boy's name). Anyway... coming back here and seeing this is kind of inspiring me all over again... Perhaps I should get back into it!

I just cannot put my finger on what it is about this piece that keeps me coming back, but it's there, whatever it is! Every time I look at it, I just need to look again!
I think it's the emotion. It's like you can feel what they are feeling/thinking in each panel. It's really beautiful!
Not to mention you are brilliant at capturing Jareth's incredible handsomeness! XD

I love this - it's so soft and gentle, and yet so powerful. Jareth on his knees in the snow, almost broken as he waits for her to say something, ANYTHING....
I love it. <3

*lipwobble* It's so beautiful...*is insanely jealous* I've lost the line of J's face in the bottom shot, but I don't care. The whole scenario is just wondrous.

I would find you downtown
in your net and tinsel gown
find you in places
filled up with faces
shadowed with roses, crosses and lace

The first panel really does it for me. And for all the stories I read in this fandom, I like not knowing this one. Sometimes vagueness or just a mood is better than words, and I feel like that really rings true here.
Now that I think of it though, I'm really liking that third panel too

I know what you mean. Leaving the story up your imagination means any number of romantic variations.

Guh, I always flail in excitement when I see you've done Labyrinth fanart.
I love it, and you beautiful narrative art compels me to write fanfiction! If only real life allowed me the time...

Well, I hope it does! And I hope you'll drop me a note if you do.

god i LOVE those trees! *_* i miss snow too!
I love the backdrop you chose for so tender a sequence. It's quiet and certain and so simply elegant. (this really, really brightened my day, in other words). Story? Your first line about his pride and his knees is more than enough for me. It stands by itself, I think. 
and your pencilwork never fails to make me want to sit down and draw something spectacular and delicious.
