Artist's Comments

Jareth and Sarah are from the movie Labyrinth.
Xellos and Filia are from the anime The Slayers.

To compare the costumes to the originals: [link]

<strike>Blame</strike> Thank ~ unoriginalchaos for this one. We're both Labyrinth fans, and one night we were discussing similarties between the Jareth/Sarah pairing and the Xellos/Filia pairing, especially with certain lines Jareth has.

So I got the idea to draw them - and I wanted to do the costumes from the bubble scene since those would pose the biggest CGing challenge. I had to go out and buy the DVD to get the screenshots I needed to study for the costumes, because for the life of me, I can't find decent, clear shots, especially of the dress, her hairpiece, and her jewelry, and virtually none of Jareth's outfit.

I love and hate those dress sleeves. I didn't really want to draw her arms down, but I'm not sure how those sleeves look in other positions. So I went with what I could figure out, appearance-wise. Getting a clear view of the costumes in that scene is a challenge, mainly because there's very few moments that actually offer a good look, especially at Bowie's. His coat is floor-length from what I could tell while they were dancing, but that didn't yield any decent screencaps.

You'll notice I made some changes. Instead of royal blue, I made the coat purple, naturally. I kept their colorations and features the same. I replaced the clear globe on the end of Jareth's scepter with a red jewel, like what's on the end of Xellos' staff. Instead of diamonds, I made the gems on the shirt ruffle amethysts - going with a purple theme here for Xellos.

I also experimented with new coloring styles and new ways of drawing in the hair, and I'm in personal fangirl shock over Xellos right now. I'm pleased with this particular piece of work.

P.S.: I'm not kidding about the Xellos Bowie Area. Just look at some of the pictures of Xellos. ::impish expression:: ^_^,V,,

Done in PSP 6 and 8 with a track ball mouse.

First of all, let me sit in awe and wonder of the greatness that is this picture.

Now, let me turn into Fangirl and glomp you whilst yelling "WAI WAI WAI, XELLOS-SAMA! JARETH-SAMA! FILIA-SAMA! SARAH-SAMA! ZANNE-SAMA, AISHITEIRU!" a whole lot. And very loudly.

I mentioned the David Bowie Area in my LJ somewhere a while back -- I think it might have just been in comments though. If you didn't see it: [link] -- Just don't drink while reading. You'll end up with a wet monitor.

:hug: ^_^ Thanks for the fave, hon. :heart:
