Description
Sarah's prize: the head of the beggar bird, which Jareth disguised himself as in the Labyrinth tunnels.I loved that vulture-headed costume, and I love the idea of Sarah flaunting her victory with spoils, something that belonged to the King.
I hate working with dark colors and severe shadows, and I'm still not very good at it, so I thought I'd practice. Dark fabric is way less of a brainache than light. I don't even know if that makes sense, but oh, it's true.
I realized too late that the little skull pinned to the hat is a tiny humanlike skull and not a rodent's. Even creepier! A faerie skull? A tiny goblin?
It's only a costume, just rags and bones, but what's Jareth's is Jareth's. No doubt he'll make it a mission to get it back and teach her a little lesson...

I don't remember the color names, but I'll tell you what I do that seriously is essential with markers: I make up a color key. On a piece of paper, make a grid with spaces for each color, label them with the color name or number, and do a stroke of each one. Because you cannot rely on the color of the wrapper. Everybody must have a color key!

The colors are very well done, although it seems that Sarah's expression would not be the face of the victor. Rather, she seems... wistful, not fully on this plane of reality.
Either that or I need to stop reading philosophical speeches. ^_^
Nicely done!

I love the way her face tilts upward just that little bit.

This is gorgeous (if I've never said as much before.) I don't suppose you'd be willing to offer it as a print?

Sarah looks sooooo smug. I imagine Jareth trying to keep his cool because, after all, he IS the Goblin King... but inside he'd be smoldering furiously!

This is one of my very favorites of any artwork I have ever seen. So much feeling is conveyed from Sarah in just her eyes and how her hand is touch the fabric, and how her head is kind of tilted. Beautiful.

I really like this piece. There's something fantastic in Sarah's expression... hard to define, but palpable and magetic nonetheless.

I really like that hat. I would where it constantly and I bet Sarah does too. More than that, she would keep it just to piss him off. That makes it even better.
Jareth: -trying to be sneaky- . . . -grabs hat-
Sarah: -sits up and hits him with a pan- MINE!!

Absolutely lovely. It reminds me of the cover of a book I once read, growing up. That, combined with your wonderful skill makes for an incredibly personal, nostalgic piece.

Awesome! I always wondered what happened to that costume after Jareth threw it on the ground.
Would have been cool if Sarah had had to wear it as disguise.

My God, do I love all your Labrynth pieces.
This is just downright amazing. Sarah looks beautiful.. difficult or not, the dark colors of the fabric really do look fantastic. I can't stop looking at this.. 8 D
