Description
Fanart for my fanfic. "Labyrinth" and "Return to the Labyrinth" fanart, copyright 198-something and 2006 by Jim Henson.

An explanation for the image. When the Return to the Labyrinth came out I wasn't all that...pleased, for a lack of a better word. Although Toby had been designed in a somewhat pleasing manner, Sarah had pretty much been butchered. In fact, the way that she had been drawn didn't even vaguelly resemble the Sarah introduced to us by Jennifer Connely.

So when I started writing my fanfic, "Collected Reminiscence," I had to come to grips with the fact that, although I disliked the art, the Return to the Labyrinth was the official sequel to the movie, whether I liked it or not. And simply ignoring the graphic novel was not an option.

Hence the creation of a "Mix" Sarah. Based primarily on the Sarah of the Labyrinth, with a few Manga touches (ie glasses, ponytale), so as to bridge the two. And somehow make the story flow better.

This was the result. Toby is, obviously, the one tied to the throne, and Jareth is the figure waiting to appear, magic on hand (I forgot to fill him in. Grrr). As for the crystal in Sarah's hand....well, I'll answer it in a quote.

"But what no one knew was that the King of the Goblins had fallen in love with the girl (princess, in the Manga) and had given her certain powers."
