Sarah's prize: the head of the beggar bird, which Jareth disguised himself as in the Labyrinth tunnels.

I loved that vulture-headed costume, and I love the idea of Sarah flaunting her victory with spoils, something that belonged to the King.

I hate working with dark colors and severe shadows, and I'm still not very good at it, so I thought I'd practice. Dark fabric is way less of a brainache than light. I don't even know if that makes sense, but oh, it's true.

I realized too late that the little skull pinned to the hat is a tiny humanlike skull and not a rodent's. Even creepier! A faerie skull? A tiny goblin?

It's only a costume, just rags and bones, but what's Jareth's is Jareth's. No doubt he'll make it a mission to get it back and teach her a little lesson...

Labyrinth: the trophy by *lily-fox: This is a deviant who has been suggested to me by both yodeladyhoo & IRIA-L-unpardonable, and it took me quite a long time to give her a DD because I really had a hard time settling on just one piece. I've finally given in and selected this Labyrinth piece, it is remarkably well-rendered in traditional media and is incredibly passionate, but boy do I urge you to check out the rest of the gallery. There are so many gems that you will understand why it took me so long to choose one! ( Featured by $aunjuli )

Incredible! I love how well you capture the characters, work with traditional media, and flesh out the original story.

I love the subtleties of this piece. The bold and simple colors, her side glance... Her sense of dominance through mischief, it's a little erotic.

I love this interpretation of it. It makes me like it all over again. :)

Any chance this will end up on Etsy? Or any other Labyrinth art? This one and 'feathers' are my absolute favorites. I could be incredibly jealous of you and your talent but I'm too in awe of it ^^. I wish I could have your gallery as wallpaper in my dorm :) your work is very inspiring
