Description She fought and she won. Or did she? She bagged herself a Goblin King and she seems pretty pleased with herself. Jareth seems content to let her take the reigns. I think he needs a long rest after finally managing to snare Sarah. Anyway, this is my interpretation of Jareth and Sarah's wedding. As was suggested to me brilliantly by I didn't want to make it to lovey with doves and goo goo eyes. I wanted to keep that wonderful Labyrinth aspect to it. Hopefully I succeeded.

the thing i love about this one, is that Sarah is above Jareth. in most fanarts and Labyrinth imagery in general, Jaret is always over Sarah, Sarah cradling into him or something...and it just doesn't seem like Sarah to do that. So i really love this cus Jareth's leaning on her while she stands tall and happy. this is lovely

I totally agree with you! She's just as strong a character as Jareth. Besides sometimes it's a lot of fun to explore his more vulnerable side as well. Thanks for the insights!

I love the style you drew them in, with graceful, elongated bodies. Very pretty. ^_^ And of course, the lovely swirling pattern of the plants all around them.

You really know the dynamics of their relationship, and it comes across in all your art.

I'm glad it comes across in my work, since I spend way too much time thinking about it when planning these pics. They're relationship is eternally fascinating, there's just so many layers to them and how they interact with each other.

Thank you very much. I figured by the time these two can finally get around to getting married she would be older and maybe a little more mature. I wanted her to still have that ethereal quality that she had in the film, without relying on her youth to get it.

Thank you very much. I love the movie and the relationship between the two characters. It's weird though, I never really thought of them getting married. So it was really fun for me to attempt what their wedding could look like.

Nice, I like how the plants are wrapping themselves around the 2 and how Sarah's hair is wild. I think though Sarah would look better with a little bigger hips.

dreamingSarah In reply to razuberii [2006-08-08 16:31:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, yes the vines were there to tie them together symbolically as they wed. I wanted there to be a kind of wildness to the picture as the Labyrinth always struck me as the kind of place that has attractive darkness everywhere, and under everything that seems normal there is a wild untamed quality to it. I imagine if she were more voluptuous she would make a nicer juxtaposition to Jareth's form, as he's so tall and slender. I just tend to draw her really elongated. In this case it was to keep with the flow of the piece.

lol. I didn't consider her being a "nicer juxtapositon to Jareth's form." It's fine, I just like hips.

I love the flowiness that the picture has. There are really no harsh lines to speak of, it's wonderful! I like all the little details, like the feathers on her gown, and the little bird and mouse (or would that be rat?).

dreamingSarah In reply to Nilithyana [2006-08-07 16:36:09 +0000 UTC]

Mmmm I like that word...."flowiness." Nah we don't need harsh lines in the drawing, the characters have enough inside their personalities. I think it's a small rat. It was originally intended to be a mouse. Maybe it's a shrew....

nightshade13 [2006-08-04 23:45:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh I love it! And the detail in the vines is amazing. I love the lack of goo-gooed eyed love...It gets so tiresome...I prefer the darkness and things lurking in the shadows feel youve got going here. Jareth still manages to be very cute all worn out by Sarah, which is a good thing The trees and leaves you have above them are lovely! All and all, once again you have taken my breath away. (BTW Love the costumes youve come up with) You can feel the bonds of their vows to eachother and the power of their love very potently just by looking at the touch of Sarahs hand to Jareth.

dreamingSarah In reply to nightshade13 [2006-08-07 16:34:45 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha those vines nearly drove me to distraction. I was beginning to kick myself for drawing so many when I was shading them. I wanted to put more details into the background but my eyes and my hands decided that they had had enough and they put the kibosh and that kind of thinking. Isn't he just adorable....all tuckered out! I don't get many opportunities to draw him like that so it was fun. I think I wanted it to be lovely and charming but still be dark and twisted like the Labyrinth. I'm glad you like the costumes...I have bazillions of sketches of Labyrinth costumes stacked beside my table. It's a random hobby of mine coming up with costumes I'll never be able to make...le sigh. You do have a way of hitting the nail on the head my dear. The vines do indeed symbolize the ties that bind. I thought that was an appropriate symbol for a wedding. Vines/Chains it's all the same. I wanted to keep a balance in this one. I wanted Sarah (first of all) to get what seems to be the upper hand, but I didn't want him to be her lap dog either. I wanted to show how they are tied to each other without being mushy and most importantly I wanted to show a real relationship between them without needing to show them kissy facing or gazing into each other's eyes. They're seperate but still together here. It is a love based on power shifts, challenge, and equality. And now I've sworn of vines forever! Or at least a day....
