sweeney as newspaper comic strip inspired animals
had these floating around in the back of my head for a loooonggg time. i really like how toby came out.
does this count as furry art genuine question
explanation: toby is a lamb because mrs lovett calls him "simple as a baby lamb" and hes literally getting led to the slaughter. lovett is a possum because of the heart shapes, the mental association i have with maternity (baby possums clinging to their mommas. teehee.) and you know how you wouldnt want to find a rat in your kitchen? imagine finding a possum??? no good. anthony is a salty salty sea dog because i said so
sweeney drawings with friends
on a call with friends i drew some sweeney stuff. heres lucy
i was showing the guy who played anthony how i draw him. then i meant to draw him and sweeney doing the titanic pose but i forgot to draw sweeney so it just looked like anthony was really happy.
then i tried to draw anthonys ship but the edible kicked in and i got distracted.. did i mention i was high during alla this...
this wound up looking like middle school sketchbook angst lowkey. insert that one furry divorce reaction image.
anyways. toby in the bakehouse.
this scene was so cathardic. i have a recording of myself screaming "MRS LOVETT MRS LOVETT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT" on closing, went all out cuz i didn't have to preserve my voice anymore. even whimpered like the script said to do. oh ffuck. there is audio of me whimpering now isnt there.
edit: listened back to it, you can barely make out the whimpering over mrs lovett rowdowdiddledowdaying
sweeney is officially over. i will now be spending the next week sobbing my eyes out.
i didnt cry during not while im around. but that's just because i got something in my throat and felt like i was going to choke the whole song
HI GUYS! SORRY IVE BEEN GONE! IVE HAD DAILY 7:30 SHOWS SINCE WEDNESDAY, AND HAVENT BEEN GETTING HOME UNTIL LIKE 2 AM, AND YESTERDAY WAS A 2 SHOW DAY, AND IM REALLY TIRED BUT IM HAVING SO MUCH FUN!
we close today. i am never going to recover.
so many funny things i need to share. the banner. the shaving cream. the knitting needles. the shaving cream again.
quick story though. i broke for the first time ever on friday. when saying his line "mrs lovett gave you a pie did she my lad!" sweeney misspoke and said "SOOO mrs PUPPET gave you a LIE!!!". i held it together pretty well until the freeze where mrs lovett is pouring the gin for me. she started to giggle. i started to giggle. we were making eachother laugh and it was torture. at some point i was literally holding my breath and just CONVULSING. we both just erupted with laughter the moment we made it to the wings. holy moly.
(just proving im not dead!!!)
(so mrs PUPPET gave you a LIE did she my lad)
studied some of the professional cast photos. reverse engineered color scripts. they had some REALLY pretty lighting. especially the ones from not while i'm around. love the cold lighting and warm shadows. ofc i am biased cuz thats my scene with my friend and my favorite song... can't wait to get back onstage tomorrow :)
colored that jo drawing :)
backstage scrabbles of jo and anthony :)
opening weekend went very well! im tiresd. toby is. an exhausting character. but its aaallll good <3
maybe i got the date wrong but you're opening today GOOD LUCK!! good luck!!! HAVE FUN!!! break your leg!!!!
WE ARE! well technically we're opening tomorrow and the "preview performance" is today? but i have no idea what the difference is so YEAHHH WE OPEN TODAY!!
honestly im just imagining the show goes as normal but with "audio jungle" "preview" "preview" "audio jungle" playing over the loudspeakers
IM GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUNNNN
100 years of sweenyposting
i made this meme several years ago so i'm kinda on track for that
hey! r u on discord?
first of all: a formal apology to everyone in my inbox who ive ignored for the past weeks. im so locked in 😭
technically yes, but i'm very picky about who i talk to on there, usually only irl friends. and even then, i hardly ever use it, so i probably wouldnt see ur messages on there... sorry 😞
but i LOVE answering asks! so ur in the right place!!
i really like how you draw sweeney. in general, with or without showing his face. it's menacing and cool and sort of attractive i mean what who said that.
Obscuring his face especially is really creative, whether you're doing it in representation to show that sweeney really could be anybody or that you just dont want to figure out how to draw him ha ha. he's cool i like the few times when you do it.
hi oolie! thank you oolie! here are some older scribbles :)
its both because hes menacing and because idk how to draw him. i honestly can't imagine him as the brooding bassy bastard hes supposed to be, now that i've heard our sweeney sing it. (he's a very high tenor and basically takes it all up an octave. we only have like. 1 bass, 1 baritone, and 2 actual tenors, so all the male voices had to be stretched pretty thin among antony, the judge and sweeney, plus understudies.)
anyways i like to imagine his eyes sunken in so deep you can barely make them out. mostly from being in prison. but also because it makes him scarier, harder to read, a little more vacant and lifeless.
but i also often forget how feverishly obsessive and neurotic he is, with the chair, the razors, the wigs... i don't think i could ever draw sweeney in a way that captures all sides of him.
and i refuse to use johnny depp as a reference because i hate that they made him so attractive. i hate it i hate it i hate it
hey kiwi i like reading about how the staging is done in the sweeney todd production you're in even if i dont heart the posts. like how you're gonna crawl out of the floor in the finale thats super awesome, stage tech work fascinates me. ok just wanted to tell you that. goodbye. have fun
THANK YOU!!! i LOVE yapping and talking about the most insignificant things and im glad someone enjoys it! especially character acting. but tech is fascinating too!!!
like i could go into more detail. technically i don't crawl under the STAGE, i crawl under a platform that is acting as our "barbershop overlooking london" (and johanna's house, and anthony's ship at some point, etc. the location changes based on context, set dressings, and a BUNCH of curtains). its only about 2 feet tall and there are a lot of support beams i can bump myself into, esp with my gangly limbs. ive decided to begin the majority of the trip while mrs lovett is screaming in the oven, so in the event that i do bump into something, it won't be too loud. here's a play-by-play of the cues ive picked:
("DIE GOD IN HEAVEN DIE"): get like, halfway into the opening of the hole backstage. it pays to be early, in case people are standing in the way of an entrance. lying on my stomach listening to the music and kicking my feet. sometimes make eye contact with the beggar woman through a sewer grate. ("really living it!!!"): start into the hole. the path is like, a 90 degree turn, so i have enough room to get my whole body in there before i'm visible to the audience. get over/under the first 2 support beams as quick as possible while lovett is dying. ("she was his reason and his life..."): verrry slowly pull forwards, turn 90 degrees, lining myself up with the mouth of the hole. there's a grate in front of it and its dark, so even though im in the audience's line of sight, i don't think they can see me. ("and he was... naive..."): let sweeney have his moment. let it breathe. also take the time to hype myself up, get into character, think about physicality. the physicality for this scene is very particular. all my muscles are wound tight and tense. i don't know if it looks like i'm shaking, but i feel like i am. start to wipe off dirt, but end up rubbing my arms in an act somewhere between self soothing and picking at imaginary bugs. slowly and smoothly writhing that doesn't pause until i see sweeney. also mentally prepare for the line delivery. my instinct is to be silly with it but i have to lock in. keep it light and dreamy, childish, slow and especially hesitant. not like he's nervous, but more like he's just saying words without considering what's coming next, just babbling catatonically.
and THEN i go onstage and do the scene. its a lot of prep but TRUST it pays off!
sweeney comix i wont finish
sketched some sweeney comics last night and didn't finish em. but eh waste not want not.
(lovett & toby)
(sweeney & toby)
this one was gonna have a punchline "honestly who taught him how to cut hair" but i like how gagged toby looks without it
