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 think out of everyone I've seen on DA who does Labyrinth art, you draw Sarah the best.
I love the feeling I get from this drawing. I can't put my finger on what that might be but it's a good one!
Amazing job here.

Aaah! Sarah doesn't really show too much depth in her with Labyrinth except that she's stubborn, secretly loves and fears Jareth and wants Toby back. :3 But in your art you always create such bottomless possibilities to her personality, and branching off from what the movie gave us.

Well, you know, she grows up a lot between defeating the Labyrinth and the situations I like to put her in. ^_^ But I have to love her in the film because she reminds me of my little sister. She's such a dreamer.

This isn't fair.

Does that mean I hold pen or pencil envy??? O.o I'm not sure...

"I hate working with dark colors and severe shadows, and I'm still not very good at it..."
Oh boo-hoo you. Cry me a freakin' river why don't you?
By the way this one gets my special treatment; It gets added to my rotating desktop images. hmmm, maybe I should go grab a few more of your drawings for this. (strokes beard)

Yay! 
You mock me, sir.
You have a beard?

Yeah, it's time for a trim. It's raining here and I haven't really left the house other than to get food for the last few days. I starting to go stir crazy. I'm talking to my drawings.... actually that's nothing new. Anyway, to answer your question, yes... yes I do

In the movie, I always loved how he seemed to pop out of nowhere with that really cleverly designed disguise of his.
I love the way the feathers turned out on the top of the hat. They've got such small detail.

Me, too! I'm glad you noticed.
You have to watch the scene is slow-motion to see how the costume's put together. Pretty neat!

you make me like sarah in all your art, and i'm really not a sarah fan. also, god, i love your coloring. β₯β₯β₯

Oh HAI!
Sarah grows on you. I like how impervious she was to his charms. I'm so romantically weak. If it'd been me, I'd have failed miserably.

Beautiful! I really love the colors, the concept, the pose. . .pretty much everything.

Man, you know already that I totally love this. <3

Actually the pinned skull is a rodent's. probably falling back to the notion that Jareth can turn into an owl and owls like rodents...ya...
I can see why dark colors are a pain, but it came out fantastic despite it all ^^ Beautiful job

I was looking at the stills from the film, and it looks an awful lot like a tiny humanlike skull to me.
Thankya!

Wonderful! I think this is an amazing piece, you can't even tell that darker colors and shadows are difficult for you! great job.

Thank you! I'm still learning. I'm not consistent about, like, where the light is coming from.

That's okay, they're tough to get down right. You did an amazing job, though.

That's brilliant!
But... the more art you make of this theme make me crave more Labyrinth!
I don't know why more people don't go with extended Labyrinth tales in comics. Well, there is the manga Return to Labyrinth (which I am anxiously awaiting vol 2 - coming to me in the mail ASAP!) but omg! there's so much to explore!

That's what fanfiction is for, babeh!

Wow! This looks great, as beautiful as the movie.

Magnifique! Perfect idea, expression, pose, detail; everything is done to a tea. Another worthy favourite.

NOTHING, TRA LA LA?
Love this. Inspired and technically pwnsome as ever.
She's picked up on some of His Majesty's tricks in using light and shadows to maximum dramatic effect...
(like his merging-out-of-shadows in the final confrontation... and *coughingfit razingsidelightcrotchshot cough*... what? 
And that is definitely one of the more striking creature/costumes in the movie, I find...
As previously stated, you rock.

Ha! As though you needed dramatic lighting to enhance that thing. It sang a song!
Gawr. *^_^* Thank you. My Sarah is very much inspired by your Sarah. I like her sauce.

You have no idea how excited I get whenever I see your name in my deviantWatch...it makes me smile.
Fabulous as always.

She needs a sexier trophy.... Like Jareth!... Pinned to a bed! XD That would be my kind of trophy!
