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"

Wow, the motion and wind are beautiful here, but why is she wearing so many hats? Or has she won all those times?

It's just one hat, with a bird mask and a scarf attached.

It's stunning. I can almost feel her emotion.
Sort of what I imagine:
Wrapping yourself in the clothes of another, one you love, and feeling proud, safe and helpless at the same time. Just because it's theirs.
Beautiful.

I love how the colours and shading have a soft tone to them and at the same time are just crisp enough to stand out.
Plus the whole idea behind the pic just makes me want to hug it.
