Artist's Comments
Oyie. It's been forever and a day since I've uploaded something on here. @__x
However, I just HAD to draw this after reading Ergott's wonderful Labyrinth fanfic, Dramatic Orchestrations. The scene revolves around a chapter that I found particularly enticing, Chapter 34: So Close! Here's the link to her gallery-  Oh man. There's so much to say about this picture. First off, I KNOW that there are several things wrong with it (.i.e- Sarah's head looks funny, the hands and feet look like crap, and there's probably several mistakes with the body positions as well) ..let's face it.. I could go on and on. Bbuuttt.. after trying to draw and redraw this damn thing repeatedly, this was the best that I could come up with. >_< deal wiff it! Love it as it is! Secondly, I tried my best to work with what I had. I don't own any good quality programs like Photoshop, so the program of choice I worked with was... *drum roll* Microsoft Paint! dun dun dunnn.. And it took me forever and a day to finish it. I began with a drawing, scanned it on the computer, then began to perfect the drawing's lines and shadows. At first, I was going to print out a finished outline then color it, but I decided that coloring it on the computer would probably make it turn out better. Thirdly, I wanted to focus the picture on Sarah's dress. I did my best to make it look like Ergott's vision (hopefully, I did alright '  ). I wanted to show Jareth and Sarah in a more risk-eh pose, but I didn't want it to be so revealing that I had to slap on a 'Mature Content' warning. Like I said, the scene revolves around Ch. 34. I wanted Jareth's expression to say "I'm pissed off" at Sarah's resistance, but also a simultaneous disappointed/sad look BECAUSE she still hadn't given in. Sarah, on the other hand, was supposed to be pushing (or trying to push, rather) the Goblin King away as he hikes up her dress, grinds his male ego against her, and takes hold of her leg to pull it up around him... meh. *shrugs* I'm no artist, but I think I did alright. Anywho. Go read her story! It's positively breathtaking, and I strongly recommend it for any Labyrinth fan! ^_^ |

Here is a riddle: "If you share it, you haven't got it, and it you got it you can't share it."
The answer is a secret.
*smiles* But thank you so much! and yes! o_O MS Paint can be such a pain to work with.
Have a great day!

It was definitely a challenge and I put a lot of effort into it, so I'm glad that you like it. I wanted to give some sensual visual to your words.. which is why I drew the darned thing, anyway.
