This came about mainly because I LOVE the Labyrinth and am a complete fangirl!

I'd also like to say thank you to some rather nice girlies who haunt The Whispering Muse, you lot rock! Thank you for putting up with me!! :heart:

The old fear was hounding at her mercilessly, making every sound a new monster in a new nightmare. The innocent imagination that had once crafted the Labyrinth was gone, replaced by an ebbing cynicism and realisation that the world wasn't as beautiful or as pretty and safe as the 15 year old Sarah had once imagined.

She knew he knew she was there, somewhere in his Labyrinth, and she knew instinctively that he was furious. No doubt her somewhat precipitous arrival had shocked him more than it had her, though she was the master of her own devilry for getting the mirror out of the attic again. In her heart she knew that this time... This time he wouldn't be so helpful. She laughed at herself in her head.

"helpful my ass" She muttered glancing back towards the dark mass of the castle in the distance.

This time they would be playing for keeps, and she really wasn't sure is she was strong enough to stand against him again.

A sound on the stairs below her made her jump, holding her breath she turned slowly and looked him in the eye...

Hey sweetie! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" />

So, I keep seeing people writing critics, and even though I'm not a big fan of this, I think that sometimes some works need a cool comment. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />

I only saw this artwork recently in your gallery, and I have to say that I immediatelly faved it because it caught my eyes and amazed me.

First of all, the quality of the manipulation is impressive, the blending of the different elements is very well made, we don't even think that this piece is made of different pictures.
Also, the lightening is stunning, this mysterious night light coming from behind, the purple sky, all the elements for a magical composition.

The addition of the spiderwebs gives a realistic touch to the piece and it adds some kind of spooky effect, but not in a bad way, I mean, it really reminds us of those tales with castles and wizards.

The model; I totally love how you worked on the dress, and the ripped effect is really cool. And the most perfect part: the hair, OMG, I just love how you painted them, I wish I could paint hair that good, it's beautiful. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />

And to finish, the whole thing reminds me of my childhood (and it's a good point for you because I love to think about my childhood <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />). I remember when I was like 6 or 7, I had this fairy tales book that I loved, and your manip just reminds me of the cover. If your work was actually a fairy tales book cover, I would definitely buy it and I would be eager to read all those wonderful stories inside: what is that mysterious castle in the background, why is the princess running away? This is how this work makes me feel.

Keep up the great work, and we need to see more manips from you because we love them (me at least! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />)
