Description Labyrinth stole the kingdom of my heart, kicked the doors down, slaughtered innocent bystanders and overthrew the monarchy. It was a mess. I'm still recovering.

Flagrant abuse of symbolism here, the basic message being that Sarah owns the King's heart, and sometimes she's careless with it. But how could she know? It isn't fair.

The Goblin King had NO intention of letting me draw him. It was a fight, and he was pissed, but I wrestled him down. Next time, I'm sure, won't be any easier.

This is a Christmas present for my Mom, who called dibs on it when she saw the sketch. (Love you, Mom.) But it's dedicated to , whose art (and especially her Labyrinth art) makes my heart puddle.

materials: ink and Letraset illustration marker on bristol
music: BjΓΆrk and Imogen Heap

No, this was marker on bristol. I have no idea how long it took. Several hours. I have trouble paying attention.

I love his expression... amazing how you makes the faces so perfectly, without being 100% exactly like the real faces. Amazes me to no end!

I envy you grrrrreatly! He`s damned hard to get close to, and worse yet to wrestle down! >_<
And m'dear, you didn`t just wrestle him down, you NAILED him!
Argh, how you managed the cheekbones I shall never understand! >_>
I love (how you draw) his hair!

Listening to "Fix You" by Coldplay and seeing this brings new meaning to the Lyrics. It's amazing how a drawing can do that, but yours always do. I love this and its symbolism. Pure beauty.

You want to hear a secret? Almost all the time, I listen to one song on repeat when I'm drawing, and it influences the drawing. Off the top of my head I'm thinking of Coldplay's "Twisted Logic", which went with this one.

I think I like the way you drew and colored Jareth's mouth/jaw area the best. Looks so real and so like Bowie. I just can't stop looking at this deviation...

Lol, just the one. Its a take on some song called the Llama song, my friend changed some lyrics to Bowie for me - which pissed off my other friends (who thought, and still think, i'm crazy for obsessing over David Bowie) because we sang it all the time
