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.

She looks extremely sensual. He looks almost protective or possesive. It's amazing how foten the whole different worlds thing crops up....this works a lot better then most I think-the drawing and the character pairing generally. I mean you can tell just by looking at them they're, from different sides of the tracks as it were, but somehow....Meh. Liking. Nice. Fluffy. Shall steal Goblin King's coat.

Thanks, you.

Erm, I don't recommend it. Sort of thing that'd earn you a swift dunk in the Bog, methinks.

Oh. Well, I was sort of trying to insinuate it's an older Sarah, and this is round 2, a few years later... so the situation and the dynamics between the two have somewhat changed...

Your pencil work is very beautiful.

I love their expressions... They really speak to their respective characters. Sarah is more open; Jareth is more reserved, perhaps only just dropping his defences.

Love, LOVE it.

I read a lot of it! I have a lot of scenes, and dialogues, and half-formed plots floating around my head and some in a notebook... but I doubt I will ever finish it.
You just get these little snapshots...

And thanks a lot. I'm glad these seem story-like to you.
