If I mention the word "Labyrinth", no doubt 80% of you would think of David Bowie in pants spanned so tight that it seems almost vacuum sealed. And yes, I would indeed be referring to the cult-classic by Jim Henson. As Politically Incorrect as some of the... ahem... 'insinuations' in the film might seem at first, what with a beautiful innocent teenage girl being kidnapped by/drugged by/stared at with the rapeface eyes of - a man considerably older than herself... It, at the same time, seems charming and daring and romantic. And for ages I have been a biiig fan of the film and the idea of Jareth and Sarah (of course a grown up, less annoying version of her) together.
A Goblin Guardian is an ongoing fancomic I've been casually working on over the past year or so. And by "casual" I mean "when I have the time/motivation", meaning I only have 13 pages completed. It started completely by accident: I'd doodled down some thumbnails of cute Sarah/Jareth moments, which happened to fall into sequence, and posted it to DeviantART. It EXPLODED, and hundreds of fangirls/boys pleaded for more. I obliged, at first with random postings, but soon enough I found myself making a plot for it.
For months I've struggled finding the will to carry on with it, and I was considering bringing it to a close soon. So I took out my notebook and jotted down a few ideas, which inspired me all over again to create more! I actually look forward to drawing the pages now that they're a bit more planned. Hopefully the fanbase will love what's coming up as much as I do!
