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"

You're number one! Before I even logged in today you were at the A-number 1 top of the most popular list and I looked at it and thought, "That looks like Sue's work, but..." Then of course I checked, and there you are. Congrats! Very beautiful and what Jack Frost SHOULD have been. It's inspiring me to write a new children's story, if you want the truth. One with lots of snow. I love this.

Jeezus, that's why I had like 1200 messages this morning! My eyes popped out a little.
Ohhh, I think I know what's in your head, Kitter. :} If you write up a Jack Frost-inspired fairytale, I will backflip, seriously.

It was our old friend PhotoShop 7! It's a cheap trick, of just putting a darker layer over a light layer and erasing where you want the light to be.

I love your Laby art - Sarah is always so gorgeous and Jareth has such longing. *sigh* So nostalgic and lovely. My OTP way back in the beginning and probably the start of my May-December relationship love, lol.

yayayayayayayayay you're back to Laby fanart!!
F*cking gorgeous. I saw it on the front page and went "zomg that's gorgeous and it looks like lily's work *click* and YES. *fave-love-comment."
The fandoms that tickle your fancy in drawing are lucky to have you.
And your profiles are, as usual, just beautiful. Esp. extra chocolate love and toppings on Jareth in panel 1 and Sarah in 3.
... and now if you don't mind I shall just stare and squee innerly for a few minutes.

When I make you squee? I know I've done my job. *dusts hands*
Thank you so much. You know, I find it hard to come up with positions for two people that don't involve profiles. You ever get that problem?

Pika-la-Cynique In reply to lily-fox [2009-11-01 16:02:25 +0000 UTC]
Lessee now. Don't most all my JS "honest-to-goodness romantic" Moments in GND have them in profile? Why I think so.
Of course, sequential art and panelling mean you can have two mirrored facing-camera shots, but in a single illustration - yup, profiles generally serve one well.
You still do them best though.
And "squee" doesn't quite do justice the heart-lurching, bittersweet rush of emotion your best stuff causes.
Of course I am massively biased in the case of fanart of this one relationship and hot-wired to react strongly, but even your other pieces I come across from a neutral viewpoint - you're stunningly amazing at conveying emotion, through the characters you pose just as much as the sheer aesthetic beauty of the artwork.
