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"

I love this piece, it's so sweet! And I think the first line in your artist comments really topped it off nicely, it's wonderful

You always make Jareth look ten times more handsome than he originally is. I have never seen an artist pull something like that off, considering he was handsome as hell to begin with. c: <3
You're art is gorgeous.

I love meaningful Labyrinth fluff. Well, fluff isn't the best word for this; fluff is just empty mushiness. This looks like a critical moment, and though it's ambiguous, it looks really very romantic. Your linework is incredible, as always ALWAYS. (I'd love to see a tutorial of sorts.

This is too pretty. I love it a lot, and... and... I dunno! It's just great.

Beautifully done! The silence makes it just so perfect! And I like that you have her not kissing him, (As many fan arts do.) but really just nuzzling close. There's more to love than kisses, and you nailed this side of the motion on the head!

What I really wanted was for them to be pressing foreheads together, like the Maori do, but I thought his crazy bangs would bury her face. ;D
There's so much intimacy in nuzzling. ^_^

I think you managed to make his hair the proper size of huge in the second panel.
Aside from the very wonderful line work and tone, there's great composition. Nice work!

OH yep...I love Jareth...I'm still sad that they couldn't be together in the movie T_T (well...it's kinda 'unrealistic' if they got to be together anyway >w<
Sorry but I can't figure out what happen to Jareth's face on the last panel. Does she touch his face or sth?
Beautiful work! I can feel the tender atmosphere of love.
Ultimate

lily-fox In reply to Crossiel [2009-10-31 01:27:51 +0000 UTC]
The last panel ended up like an optical illusion or something. Her nose is like, pressed into the bridge of his nose. That's his closed eye. But somebody said she mistook his eyebrow for his jawline, and I totally see it.

Crossiel In reply to lily-fox [2009-10-31 04:15:07 +0000 UTC]
After several attempts...I finally figure out his face >w<...Now this drawing completely took my breath away.
Oh I saw his eye-brow that connects with his nose bridge was his face-profile line. And his eyes were her hands, putting over his mouth XD
I guess you didn't put enough "closure" (the process of our mind filling in the missing space of an incomplete picture) so maybe that's why >"<
Hahaha...optical illusion...>w<
