So amazing! I feel like it invokes Wilde's wonderful Dorian Gray. His essence is so well captured that you feel like he may walk out of the frame. I don't really know how to describe it other than riveting.

yup! haha! As I was watching Merlin I couldn't help but think he looked like he could play a younger Jareth I started this picture as just a colour study but as i worked on it it started looking more and more like Jareth so I started to reference a few pictures of Bowie too. I hope you like it

i love this so much. it looks so much like a young bowie, and yet there are subtle touches that reveal its jareth. you captured bowie's likeness beautifully, but also made it your own. gah! i love it!

I've often pondered on Prince Jareth and if he ever lived without all the hair and sparkles. I imagined him looking something like this too. Simple and beautiful.

Thank you I like to think that the glitter and glamour was all for Sarah's benefit and that the true goblin king is deeper and rawer than his flamboyant 80's getup suggests

Not a problem! I love the story! Would love to see it flourish into an epic story with plot twists and political intrigues with plenty more angst but as it is I think it is a great prequel set up and shows wonderfully why Jareth is how he is Thank you for sharing it with me!

I saw this on the sidebar and even the thumbnail struck me.  This is stunning.  His face is so expressive.  He looks very much like the petulant prince version of the king we all love.  I feel there's a story behind this one.  Beautiful job!

This is a really wonderful painting! I help to run writing challenges on the LabyFic livejournal community and would love to use this as inspiration for a writing prompt. Would you mind if I posted the painting over there as a prompt? I would of course give you full credit and link back to your page.

His hair.... that was the first thing I noticed.  Being young it makes total sense for it to be more normal, and he seems much more somber.  I really like the lighting you used for that reason, really adds to it

soapybubbles3 In reply to tmwillson3 [2014-06-03 12:23:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I always thought he would be more somber and troubled in his younger years for him to turn out as he did. I'm glad you like it!!

Awesome
A youthfull Jareth, haven't seen that before
And I like the feeling that the picture gives, adolescent proudness
Suits the idea of him.
