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- :iconergott:

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 ';p). 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! ^_^

>o< wow, a little much. Lets just say I'm not one for this kinda "rough love" stuff.


:clap: I'm impressed at how well you did the coloring on Microsoft Paint. MP is such a pain in the rear I am surprised you got it to behave in a well presented manner.

I like the dress and extra points on the reflection. ;)

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. :whisper:
Well, I tried not to make it too graphic. ^_^;; Sorry!
*smiles* But thank you so much! and yes! o_O MS Paint can be such a pain to work with.
Have a great day!

XDDDDDDDD scandalous!

:heart: + :peace:
I seriously can't even imagine! I mean, it took me at least 6 hours over the course of 2 days just to design, ink, and color the dress. And then you not only managed to reproduce it, but actually put Sarah IN it, not to mention the wonderful Jareth pressing up against her. I might have written it, but you brought it to life!

-^__^- Thank you! *tackles and hugs*
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. =D hehe.

This is awesome...I've read some of the story, but haven't gotten to this point yet....

The dress is beautifully put, especially since its in paint.....

I know you were saying you don't have photoshop....but you might want to check out some free programs...guaranteed to be easier than mspaint

There is a whole list here of open-source programs : [link]
