Description

And Sarah's probably right; it's not fair playing Risk against a monarch tactician. But I guess "that's how it is." (I honestly never understood the lessons that the creators of Labyrinth tried to portray; the situation Sarah was placed in went way beyond the boundaries of concepts such as 'fair' and 'unfair', but hey, anything to put Bowie in a movie, right? )

A fan comic of Jareth and Sarah from Labyrinth playing Risk. I've had this idea for quite some time, and since I'm too lazy to write a fan fiction right now, I figured it was time I draw it out.

I've never drawn a full-page comic like this, so I humbly request your forgiveness if it's not up to par. I know there are mistakes. Unfortunately, traditional media is horribly difficult (if not impossible) to alter, and as drawing is just a hobby of mine, I'm not quite as skilled as I could/should be. But critique is always welcome; I'm always striving to improve.

I used a kind of paper I've never used before to draw this (Bristol Smooth), and I really liked the texture and how it picked up the colors of my pencils. I also found that I had to work less to get the colors to blend. I bought a thicker pen for inking as well, which I am happy with. I also employed some white acrylic paint for effect (such as the glitter and the shine on the crystal), and I find that I'm rather fond of it. Perhaps it will make an appearance in future works.

It occurred to me after I drew this that *Pika-la-Cynique (goddess of Labyrinth fandom ) used Risk in one of her GND comics. I promise I came up with this idea long before I read it; I don't want to make anyone mad!

Let me know what you think!

Omg I love the way you drew Jareth.
And the fact that they're playing Risk is just too funny after reading GND

Heh. It's pretty nice and funny. My only problem is Sarah. She looks pretty boy-ish. Maybe having a rounder, ovalish shaped face would help.

Ugh, yes, I seem to have problems with that. I need to work on drawing females, since I... well, don't.
