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...
materials: ink and Letraset illustration marker on bristol
music: BjΓΆrk, "Come To Me"

This is a beautiful piece. The emotion in her face, and the vulture costume are simply amazing!

Ahhh~ I think this is like the fifth time I've oggled this picture. There's just something about the way Sarah's eye is like secretly peeking out at you that makes me want to keep looking at it.
:faves:

The vivid color, shading, and expression are all wonderful! I love how the beak and a few rags are outside of the backdrop. Lovely work! Definitely one of my favorite pieces of Labyrinth fanart.

So so so soo good. So full of feeling. The coloring is amazing, and even more so for being done by hand. Oof. It makes me ache.

Can't remember if I commented on this yet (thought I had faved it a long time ago), but just in case... This is a beautiful work of art. I love the simplicity of the colors, and the clean line art that's always present in your drawings. Lovely.

It's really a sinister trophy, but very catch with the movie scenes. The champion and conqueror wearing the spoiles.
