personally I think a younger Bowie would of made a better Jareth...
ONE b/c fae dont age as humans do... so a 20 something Bowie would of been a better representative of an ageless eternal fae...
TWO younger Bowie was more 'androgynously beautiful' which I also think suits fae creatures better...
THREE a movie made 10 year earlier would of meant I would of got to droool over Jareth 10 year sooner!!!

Ooooo...
Good points there...
I do love me a crazy eyed 20-something Bowie
Definitely more androgynous and eternally youthful.
But what if fae age just very very slooooooly?
Meaning our near 40 year old looking Jareth is just a few millennia old...
Just a thought

well yes... but... there is much more mythology to confirm that elves fae and others dont appear to age at all... not even slowly... not till almost the very very imminate years of their natural death... those that do have a natural death... most just fade... without aging
and... I just REALLY would of loved... early young Bowie to have been Jareth...
do you know Elric of MelnibonΓ© was at one time to be acted by Bowie... and that would of been a movie I really really wanted to see... as I was a Elric fan from a very young child! I loved him as a GOD!

I am ashamed to say I've never heard of Elric of MelnibonΓ©.
Could you draw him as could have been portrayed by Bowie?

ooooh you must check him out!!! if you love jareth... all antihero ish... Elric was the original badboy hero!!!

Blonde. Brooding. Well dressed. Morally ambiguous.
I am off to the library!

Your technique is great! And Bowie is a hard one to draw; I certainly won't post my attempts. XD This looks good to me; maybe it's younger Jareth going, "You want me to lead a kingdom of what?"

Haha, funny!
Mouth gaping open, poor thing can't believe his rotten luck
And do post your attempts!

He does look a little vulnerable rather than arrogant but I quite like that about this - this is really quite beautifully drawn, i am particularly fond of how well you drew his hair, oh and his eyes and nose are lovely! Kudos to you!

Thank you for your kind words!
I do like my GK sneering, mocking and arrogant but I am yet to attempt to draw him that way.
Love your Bowie quote by the way
π: 0 β©: 1
Hee hee, thank you! I love that quote too!
You should give arrogant GK a try, it's always fun to branch out with different themes and emotions. Although I do admit, I have quite a soft spot for the uncharacteristically sweet and happy GK.
I hope to see more Laby artwork from you!

With your encouragement I might just give that mercurial emotions of our deal GK a try.
And considering that I like my Jareth on a dark and evil side... not sure you will find the results pleasing even if I succeed in characterization

You are too kind.
Thank you

No i'm not)) I'm kind enough...
If i could drw portraits like you...
Mine NEVER looks like the man i was drawing((

I cheated. I drew him from a photo reference. Otherwise he'd be ever girlier than he is already
π: 0 β©: 1
i can see that is it is copied from photo)) But to copy like this is VERY cool, too!

Thank you so much!

Happy to please!
And always happy to see owl signatures

No problem! I love the drawing. There's just something really engaging about his eyes. Owls are cool.

Are you trying to talk me out of liking your artwork?

No, just shamelessly begging for compliments

Wow, you captured his beautiful profile terribly well.

Thank you!
Bowie does have a gorgeous profile...

Thank you
Capturing emotion in a portrait still seems an esoteric art to me. This one kinda happened.

Wow this is so beautiful i ever seen

Looks friggin awesome,
I love his nose lol

I like profiles in general, and Bowie's especially
π: 0 β©: 0
I don't think he's too girlie...at all!
Now I have the urge too use charcoal...

Charcoal is awesome as long as you are not afraid to get your hands quite dirty

It looks wonderful to me! I didn't find any flaws! Excellent!

You are too kind!
But I am desperate for encouragement
π: 0 β©: 1
Mmmm. Do you mean encouragement, like a stronger critique? (Like balance or tone reviews) Or encouragement, as in, "Keep up the good work"?
π: 0 β©: 1
The "good work" kind and lots of pats of the shoulder

I thought it was Bowie, your artist statement confirmed it. This is great, as if you put yourself down

You are so kind! Thank you so much for your comments
I am just such a Labyrinth and Bowie fanatic and he is so mercurial...
I'll just keep chasing the impossible task of capturing that smirk

You'll get there
