My buddy @rubyonthra had a ctiys contest on IG so you know your girl had to participate in that one lol

If you have IG you should give their page a look! Maybe consider drawing a little something too just for fun, you know I’m gonna find some way to draw EnchantedSandstorms and WanderingSails- they are the trinity and must be respected lol

The theme was to take your Dark Crystal Ocs and create a crossover with another series/film by Jim Henson. I love Labyrinth, it changed my life- 80’s fantasy films are just magic. The aesthetic, the outfits, music, character designs- I could go on. Ever since I saw the movie on Netflix last year (or maybe it was the beginning of this year) the ballroom scene was stuck in my head. David Bowie’s vocals, the dreamy look of everything and the dance between Jareth and Sarah was my favorite part.

Fleur being a Thra fashion icon and fan of a cute outfit, she was a perfect choice for this piece. You can’t have OceanPetals without Razer so of course he was dressed up as Jareth the Goblin King! OceanPetals is iconic and they are the moment lol I had so much fun drawing this piece.

The background was supposed to be from the film buuut, I couldn’t make out exactly what everything was (I believe that’s the point) so I opted to draw a stained glass-esque window in the colors of the dark crystal instead. The warmth from that backdrop makes them pop more than the pale blues/white of the actual ballroom in the film.

The second piece is a little doodle I had made about Fleur’s reaction to Razer in his cosplay and Razer’s reaction to needing to style his hair in a mullet.

Fleur belongs to me. Razer belongs to my dear friend @jack-toons / @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash
