Description
'You remind me of the babe'
This is Jareth (Goblin King) and Sarah at the masquerade ball in the film Labyrinth. I love this movie and thought it was a bit spooky and wierd when I was younger...still do, in fact.
Here we have Jennifer Connelly attempting not to stare at David Bowie's codpiece
Painted in acrylic. Turned out a bit dark but so do all my paintings.

Did you manage to get hold of a copy of this on DVD - you can buy it cheap on Amazon (about a fiver for the collectors edition)

Thank you. They are great masks to paint, they're so sinister!
I'm off to Amazon now to seek out that DVD. That is decently priced enough to not offend my inner cheap sod.

Great painting. You really captured the characters well. And the atmosphere is astounding. Excellent work.

Cheers! I love masquerade balls and masks. It's the draw of wondering exactly what are behind the masks that makes me love painting 'em.

It is indeed

Okay. I just came back from YouTube where I watched the movie because this picture here (and some of Marquise's drawings [link] ) made me curious about it... Right. You have caused me a new fandom (as if there weren't already enough to look after)! Now apologize!
(= Summary: This picture is wonderful!

Hehehee, it's a wonderful movie and totally up for fandom. I apologize for making you curious about Bowie's codpiece 
By the way, sorry about the late reply. I'm completely losing track on comments! I need an extra set of hands and a better brain methinks

I liked the movie, too, though I felt that it sometimes had an overdose of goblins and weird doll-creatures that made it appear a bit childish, but with Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppet Show, what else could one expect?

to quote the first thing i said when i saw this "omygod omygod omygod omyfreakinGOD! YES!" lol
i LOVE the labyrinth.
i can sing along with EVERY song and almost quote every word! this is totally my favorite movie.
anyway,
to comment the painting rather than the movie...the detail is exquisite! i mean, you can seriously not only tell who they are, but recognize certain facial expressions that they really make.
great job on the masks in the background by the way!
and you captured bowie's hotness! wow! awesome! lol

I have to say, the colours in this are quite stunning, I love how natural and rich they look. I especially like the way that you treated the masks, costumes and jewelry, the forms have been derived very nicely. You've managed to convey so much detail while maintaining loose, painterly brush strokes and a good sense of energy. The resemblances look quite good too ^^
Plus the Bowie!hair/mane is completely made of awesome

Thanks mate. I absolutely love masks. Thank you for your critique as well. I want to be a little more loose with my strokes - I'm always trying to find something a little different (maybe a bit more abstract) with my work. I'd like to do more from my own imagination as well, with little or no references (which would be bloody hard)
Bowies wig was something to behold in this movie..It should have had a series of it's own

"JUMP MAGIC JUMP!"
Ooo Bowie, what a beautiful man.

Bowie certainly is a thing of beauty. I loved him on extras as well. That song was hilarious!

I remember watching that film many years ago... late at night (for me at the time... It was probably only around 9 o'clock ^^). Kinda want to watch it again...
Anyway, great picture as always

Thank you for that! Bowies makeup in the film was great - not overdone but with the mullet, it almost looked kinda punky and gothic, but not girly.
I want to watch it again now...They've probably got some clips on Youtube, which I will have to check out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep yep - a manly punky gothic look. Less girly than some of his other stage make-up anyway
To Youtube!

LOVE it!! I first saw this movie when I was 7 and had major lust issues with his choice of clothing. oooh David. I've wanted to buy those damn glass balls he twirls in his hands through out the movie but they are so hard to find and are so bloody expensive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always wanted to be able to do that ball twirly thing he did (well, someone else did, but you know what I mean

Cheers ! I don't know why I decided to paint this, probably because I got sick of the joker for a few hours...but I'm better now

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, yes I am...A new still of the Joker surfaced on the SuperHeroHype boards the other day. Obviously, since I've not painted him in at least - ooooh ten minutes, I'll have to give it a go
