Description
Or, to continue in the Imogen Heap 'fluenced vein, Just for now...Just... one moment, and consequences go hang. A truce, or a surrender, or a dream... I don't know. Jareth was being inscrutable and wouldn't meet my eyes... he's either dissimulating, or disarmed.
It can't possibly last--but just for a moment it is worth worlds.
---
Commish/request/gift art for =imaginarium , who asked for Jareth'n'Sarah fluff but nicely allowed for me to add angst to my taste. J/S is inconceivable to me otherwise.
As usual, any stories or lines that come to mind are welcomed.
Pencil drawing (in the wee small hours) and a little Photoshop CS2. I may scan this again with a better scanner and take it further some day.
In the meantime, I hope the fanart bunnies will bugger off and let me get some real work done, damnit!
LABYRINTH (c) the Jim Henson Company, though Jareth I refuse to believe belongs to anyone but himself.

When it comes to J/S, there's gotta be angst, I completely agree-- either way, Sarah's losing something.
Anyway, this is amazing, I love it, etc. :3

Absolutely! Yays for angsty, fated enemies, inter-world (inter-species?) relationships.
Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate the AaAaaAAANGST.

I love this pic...so poignant, so moving. The longer I look, the more I see that breaks my heart. It also is a good reference whenever I decide to read a Laby story. Thank you!

I don't know if I posted this here already, but I'll post it again, if for some reason it didn't go through.
This is a great picture, like all of yours, and inspired me to write a fic around it, so here it is:

I like the sepia/yellowish background for this image--gives it a sort of antique/timeless feel, like this moment could last forever. I do admit, I had a crush on Jareth the first time I saw "Labyrinth"

I agree.. those brief moments of surrender, even when you know it will be for naught, stop the world. Beautifully done.

I swear to god, if you havn't made 1000k+ fangirls with this, I don't know what you'll do.
It was funny. I looked up "truce" to see if I found any Dresden Dolls, and I scroll down, Immediatly " Is that Jereth, Is that Jereth?! OMG IT'S FUCKING JERETH! :'DDDDDD"
So yeah, win love and sex for you.
10/10 for anatomy and pose. <3

Bugger off???
how about a comish baby?
I want a jareth and sarah angsty embrace/truce too!!!
how do I get one?

Respondents to the challenge get thank you art. (If you don't feel up to writing yourself, pester a good ficwriter to enter!)
And serious J/S inspiration is a skittish, subtle thing--right now the fanart bunnies are lying low on that topic. I'm sure they'll ambush me with some must-draw image again later though.

Ah well... I can wait.
Some day you will not be able to resist my whiney tones, and I will get what I want..
bwahahahahaaa!!!
erm...
I mean... Some day, you will have time and I will be ever so greatful for the picture that you will do for me of our favorite fictional characters...

*sighs and raises unimpressed eyebrow a la Jareth* Whining is such an unattractive trait in a girl...
