No film costume has ever stuck with me like that white gown Sarah wears in that one dream sequence in the movie labyrinth. I haven't seen labyrinth in a decade but I still remember how dreamy and ethereal that dress was, she looked like what dreaming of being a princess felt like as a child, spun out in front of me. I think its the intricacy of the costume design together with the slight graininess of the film, just enough to give everything the faint glossiness of imagination. Even when I've seen pretty dresses in more modern films it hasn't had the same hold on me emotionally, I think I just can't romanticise something in crisp HD in the same way. But god, what I wouldn't give to live in the fantastical beauty of that aesthetic world.

A few years ago I hastily traced a photo of myself from my sister's wedding in MS Paint and I thought the resulting dead-eyed expression was hilarious, like something out of an in-flight safety demonstration card.

"Emergency water landing at 600 miles an hour, blank faces, calm as Hindu cows."

I had the idea of using this as a channel avatar, or as a template for a series of characters. That never really went anywhere but I just dug up my old drawings while looking for something else, and you know what, I think I may have been cooking back then.

These are so fucking stupid, I love them!

Here, have some templates

Hey . So can walk up to human Mr Puzzles , in my Mr Puzzles Halloween costume?

Thank you anon for being my official Halloween post, cuz I don’t have enough energy to pump out a finished drawing for today :,)

I think he’d be flattered once the initial shock wears off LMAO

(Also Puzzles is going as Jareth the Gobin King from Labyrinth because I said so)

Happy Halloween folks!👻👻👻👻

October 31 has struck in my timezone, and it's time for a wild. Poisonous Helga to join @cosmiconix Hallows ball party! Trying to follow the Deadly Fauna theme has been challenging but oh- so so much fun! Thanks for the possibility!

Sugar...Spice....Everything spite!!! (and campyness, and drag and a small funky purse that cannot keep anything inside, aside five M&Ms, a lipstic and a swiss army knife)

The quality and quantity of tricorn hats and gargoyle masks in the ballroom scene of Labyrinth (1986) is simultaneously ethereal and threatening

Happy Halloween! I am very pleased with our Labyrinth family costume, it's not crochet but I had some fun thrifting, sewing and miscellaneous crafting! And, you know, investing in a high quality set of pajamas for the little one ^_^
