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 find it totally romantic though, 'cause the hat could be a present to Sarah from Jareth, thus denouncing his past of tormenting her.

Nah. She straight-up stole it, and he wants it back.

Hmm. Seems to me Sarah is picking up the mantle to be the Goblin Queen..

Of all your Labyrinth images, I must say this one is my favorite. I do love that little skull, and her expression is ecstatic. Lovely

Congrats on the DD! You are always, always one of my favorite artists, ever since wayback in the HP fanart days - the DD is well deserved (and I am surprised it didn't happen sooner).

The piece is, as always, lovely.

Yeah, but that other short-story person ain't worth my effort, so I don't much care.

Glad you like it!

Oh, you so worked dark colours and severe shadows and I am so very, very admirable of your work!

And dark colours and severe shadows I think is one of those things that takes having a lot of bravery in your skills which I fervently wish I had, but alas, I have yet to attain that.

Great job, and congrats on the DD.
