Fantasy Faces: Labyrinth!
I don't really know when the first time I saw Labyrinth was. It released in 1986 and I was 4 years old at the time, but it must've been some years later when our family could afford a VCR that I was able to watch it. For some reason I remember thinking these movies had always existed and that my mom must've grown up on them, because she spoke as if she knew what was happening. I can only assume she pre-screened the movies before showing them to me and MAYBE she saw them in the theater.
All I really know is that since I did see it, it's stayed with me, along with many fantasy movies at the time. They are part of what made me want to be an artist, why I was reluctant but excited to play D&D in college, and why for many years I was in my own bubble of magic and glitter. There are few movies that are cut from this cloth, and I can't imagine them not being burned into my psyche.
So I'm happy to pay tribute to this classic film that still fills me with wonder. See below some progress photos of the characters: Ludo, Jareth, Firey, and Sarah. And at the end you can see the speed painting video of all four!
