Just rewatched the Labyrinth for the first time in a loooong time, and it was the most fever dream of a movie as much as I remembered (positive lmao). But what I didn't remember was--

βThe past
The faint moonlight spilled across his skin, splashing him with silvery reflections. Silence filled the room, interrupted only by the murmur of the gentle breeze that drifted through the large glass windows, whispering through the velvet and crystal.
The goblin city glittered under the blanket of night, tucked into a dark, billowing sky, motionless before the castle that towered above it. The goblin city, so still, so calm, that the sight of it through the great window seemed almost an illusion.
Jareth's chest swayed with his breathing, so faint, the movement was almost imperceptible. The ruffles of his shirt spilled down his chest, down his sides, exposing much of his scarred torso. Past whitish and pinkish marks from wounds of all sizes dotted his chest and sides. The largest, thick and jagged, appeared on his right side, extending upward, almost to his heart.
With a gentle movement he brought his hand to that scar, stroking its edge slowly, wearily. His narrowed eyes stared out the window, lost in the tide that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Con un movimiento suave llevΓ³ su mano hasta aquella cicatriz, acariciando su borde despacio, cansado. Sus ojos entornados miraban al otro lado de la ventana, perdidos en la marea que se extendΓa hasta mΓ‘s allΓ‘ de donde alcanzaba la vista.
Perdidos en los recuerdos del pasado.

Ever since I saw the movie for the 358th time a few months ago and did some loose sketches in the sketchbook I haven't been able to get Jare
welcome back! missed you lots. i think it would be really cool to get a bit of a breakdown (however long you'd like) of what changes you made to the ocs and why you felt they were a better fit! would love to get in your head a little bit if you're down
Alrighty so, I'll be explaining mostly the direction I'm trying to go to with the designs, I'm still in the exploration phase with most of them so things are not set in stone
With Silas I'm mostly happy with his general design but I'm trying to come up with a different way for his golden accessories and sheer fabric to work. When I first designed him I just placed stuff without an actual direction and thought of how they'd work. It's also hard to see it here but I'm planning to add a bit more personality to his hair, especially to the back of it
For Elias the design is once again mostly the same but I'm trying to give more volume to his hair. I also wanted to, once again, make his accessories make a bit more sense. Also switched the colors of his clothes to fit his hair and skin tone fit better. I'm planning to have him wear multiple outfits in the game and if possible I want to have him use a different nail polish with each outfit to make the colors match.
For Lavi the pose I drew him in doesn't really show his outfit but I'm keeping the extremely revealing leather lingerie like outfit and changing the shape slightly
I want his clothes to have a more this kind of feel:
Also more detailed boots and once again accessories that makes more sense and a bit easier to draw. Previously his hair clips made him kinda hard to draw a bit, I'm still planning to have him use them I'm just trying to find a way to make them a bit easier to draw.
Anyway moving on to Ciaran, I'm honestly so upset I couldn't show more of his design because arguably he might be the one I put the most thought into (alongside Dana surprisingly). I went DEEP into men's fashion through various centuries and decades and eventually decided that the ones from 1830 to 1839 fit my vision the most so you guys can look those up to see what I'm trying to go for.
His hair it still in the works, but I'm planning to have him go through a hair change in the game so I'm trying to make things work with that idea.
Alright with Theo as many of you noticed his design is pretty much the same. Honestly I was already pretty happy with his design I'm honestly just working on his hair style a bit to make it hide his one massive eye a bit more efficiently.
Ooookay here comes Micah, probably the one I changed the most. Look I'm sorry guys those "braids" needed to GO. Unfortunately they were a pain for me to draw. I actually had a few people asking me how they worked because they wanted to cosplay as him and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't make sense of them. I already talked about the hair color situation here so I won't get into that here. Other than that I'm honestly trying to make his clothes a bit more fun and personalized. Since I already decided on his clothes being white I leaned more into it and made the overall design a bit more fantastical. Also don't worry he still has his pitch black eyes, I could never get rid of those.
Lastly Dana. I know the change isn't that noticeable but oh my god guys the amount of search I've been doing on maid outfits for this damn femboy.... I'm trying to make his outfit a bit more historically accurate to that of a Lady's Maid since that's his historically accurate role. The hair is a bit of an issue atm, making it long would make my job easier in terms of historical accuracy but I have to keep it mostly short for story reasons so it's currently stuck being a WIP...
