One of the panels from my Labyrinth art meme -- you got cheated! ;D

This is my favorite scene in Labyrinth. (Me, and like, every other girl who watches it) It kills me how Jareth spends the movie up to then taunting and eluding her, making her quest pretty miserable. She's looking for him in the crowd of masqueraders and he brushes past her, laughs at her, teases her, and then suddenly there she is right in front of him, and she's all he wants. He's completely owned by her. It's that beautiful ballet of power. So romantic it makes my head swim.

I spent more time on this one than the other panels, and it's pretty, I think. The dark side of Sarah's face gave me hell, though. She's so impossibly beautiful that I can never get her right. But I think I did a pretty good job on Jareth.

materials: ink and Letraset illustration marker
music: Björk, "Venus As A Boy"

For some odd reason, I can see this as a "later in life" image...maybe at a ball in the early years of their marriage where she decides to wear her favorite ball gown?

I might get the impression that their children are off dancing with goblins while the adults enjoy the party and, like any mother, Sarah is worried about little things. Maybe Jareth is calming her and laughing a bit at her un-needed worry before drawing her into the dance?

I blame Josh Groban's Awake for this comment...

The only vampires worth mentioning are Dracula, Lestat and Eric Northman. Jareth is the only man who can do glitter and still be considered believably wicked, and Reggie Theophilus is the only Hatter worth drooling over.

Oh my god. Everything you said about this scene. Yes. Also your interpretation! So beautiful! The composition! Sarah's dress! Their faces! Would you mind horribly if I put this on my wall? Or are you selling prints of it? Please let me know!

Don't worry. If we assume the theory of infinite parallel universes to be true, then not only is your pairing canon somewhere, it's real.

Jareth is pretty cool, and I LOVE how you worded that! I love that scene, although I always thought that Jareth was so focused on her because he was trying to keep her in the bubble dream instead of breaking back into reality instead of his love for her, idk. But I like your version better :)

The time I've lived, I've seen some horrors, scary behavior, and a couple of fashion trends I constantly pray to forget. But I see people try. I see them try to be better. ~Angel
