Description
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...
materials: ink and Letraset illustration marker on bristol

love this! Very creative beautiful work using the beggar bird costume and love your color palette you used for this. I don't think there ever can be enough fan art for labyrinth especially if you continue making them.Β

This is honestly probably one of my favorite Labyrinth artworks of all times. The expression is just fantastic and the colors are magnificent!

The expression in her face is utterly brilliant.Β I was working today on a 3D representation of Sarah from Labyrinth, so I can appreciate the profile as being accurate.Β There is a lot to enjoy about this image.Β Its flow and its dimensionality are superb in my humble opinion.

Related by fandom. Have you ever read A Forfeit of Dreams? Cause I'm about ready to come apart at the seams.

I see I'm not the only one who sees this, but it really looks like Sarah's wearing Blind Pew's disembodied head.

Very VERY inspirational! That movie is easily one of my all time favorites, and knowing she was the first to beat him. Amazing work.Β

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.

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

Actually it looks like a rat skull....Totally brilliant by the way!
I would never imagine her being so smug looking....I love it!
It really goes with her character and her famous words: "It's a piece of cake!"
Love it!
