'Green Man' by Brian Froud

...sketchbook studying/readjusting with Otomo's Kaba, Faeries, Doze...Trying to get expressive with 2-D ~ been struck with an ear infection in my one good ear & feeling deaf - resting up (Col Erase / Mechanical Pencil) [that Otomo guitarist was a challenging drawing]

Inktober 2022 No. 28: Goblin King . ”Your eyes can be so cruel…” . The mullet to end all mullets! Who else could make that work besides David Bowie? Another dramatic costume change (though it isn’t really shown here) as Jareth confronts Sarah, who has solved his labyrinth, against all odds. . I feel like I’ve been struggling mightily with faces this month, so this one was kind of an ultimatum — a make-or-break day where I was determined to hit, rather than miss. So this one went well, I think. . LABYRINTH was released this month on Netflix US, in case you want to take your own walk back through the maze to the Goblin City. I recommend it. . 75 minutes, 7.5x11”, @drphmartins Black Star and Pen-White ink with a @speedball_calligraphy 107 nib and @pentelofamerica medium-point black pigment Color Brush on @strathmoreart 400-series watercolor paper. . Soundtrack: The Knife - Deep Cuts . #ink #Inktober #inktober2022 #Labyrinth #GeorgeLucas #jimhenson #davidbowie #terryjones #starwars #themuppets #montypython #brianfroud #Jareth #GoblinKing #mullet #b3nn3tt @davidbowie @inktober https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRtEdILG14/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another repost from a while back. My contribution to Archaia’s Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal Artist Tribute. I had a lot of fun working on this and was flooded with memories of seeing it in the theater for the first time. Not to mention all of the childhood drawings I created after being inspired by it. It was a surreal to be involved with this project. #thedarkcrystal #aughra #gelfling #fantasyart #fantasyfilm #1980s #80sfilms #jimhenson #hensonstudios #jimhensoncreatureshop #jimhensoncompany #themuppets #robbmommaerts #inkdrawing #brianfroud https://www.instagram.com/p/CYtpdw7g5S4/?utm_medium=tumblr
