EDITED! I updated to the color WIP

Jareth the Goblin King and Sarah from Jim Henson's the Labyrinth. I based this piece off of a fanfic called "The Thirteenth Rider" by :iconhachimanskitsune: Here it is on fanfiction . net:
[link]

The song I have picked out for this pic is Viktoria Tocca's "Dark Waltz". It even starts out with the sound of horses' hooves. How fitting!

This story is awesome! I love the mood the author sets and the tension that oozes out of the words. Jareth is appropriately sexy and snarky and Sarah is his match in every way. And the melding of Celtic mythology with Labyrinth fandom mythos is fantastic.

I have planned more for this piece, below Jareth and Sarah it fades to a moonlit hillside where shadowed Horsemen of the Wild Hunt look down to a small town. Should look really cool if it turns out anything like the vision in my head!

Weeeeell, this could lead to me reading Labyrinth fic for the very first time. Hmm…

Oh also, have you ever seen this photo of David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly cuddling while on the set of the movie? Thought you might like it if you haven't :) [link]
