And I'm not even sorry.
You can blame Mary, because she commissioned Phantom paper dolls (!!) and I was forced to listen to the musical again.
For research purposes, you see....
Also, we're showing the 25th Anniversary to one of our friends on Monday, and it got me back in the mood.
These paper dolls are supposed to be based on the movie costumes and not on the musical costumes, and this makes it trickier for me, because I know the musical costumes really well, but the movie ones require much research. *Cue Treskie googling pictures, and watching POTO movie clips, and becoming even more set in her opinion that the movie could have been better...*
Anyhoo.
I'm not going to show you guys the paper dolls until they're done, and until Mary's seen them, so... that's why there aren't that many drawings this week.
1.) Here, have some ugly scribbles, because I sat down and my hand went, "NOPE!" (Though I have to admit, I think I captioned the kid at the bottom hilariously.)
2.) Here, have another kiss. I'M SORRY, I'M FEELING SAPPY, OKAY?
3.) Here, have the sketch of Raoul proposing to Christine, because I will ship them all the way to Gallifrey.
4.) Here, have the one I drew for Amy, because... because...
5.) Here, have the finished one from last week. (I can't decide if I should color it in or not, yea or nay?)
6.) Here, have one of Raoul, who has had just about enough of the Phantom's nonsense.
7.) Here, have the one that I'm mad about, because this one was supposed to be a rough draft, but her expressions turned out so well that I need it to not be just the rough draft, which means I have a set of pictures I really love on low quality paper, and I'm MAD.
8.) Here, have Raoul being sad and awesome, and ARGH, I JUST LOVE THAT CHARACTER SO MUCH, I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN.
9.) Here, have the Phantom doing the "No no, dark is good, dark is your friend, darkness makes Batman."
Here, have a gif of Zuko being fabulous.
Ugh, it has been a week, guys. I will fill you in probably sometime in the next few days, but yeah. It's been interesting.
And now I will pepper you with questions, because that's how I DO.
Did you groan when I said Phantom? (Because I'm aware that this obsession is bordering on worrisome.)
Favorite drawing this week?
Should I do more guitarists?
Do you know the Muffin Man?
Okay, I'm done now, Treskie out.
I kind of like drawing number 4 and 7 - and I've done that as well, sometimes you we do good work and don't even realize it until later.
ReplyDeleteI'm not bother by the phantom mention, I must confess I'm not a fan, at least, not the musical version but it does not bother. I think we all have favorite things that we obsess over and it's so bad, some of the time
hope you have a lovely sunday.
Awww thanks! XD THEY'RE MY FAVORITES TOO, OMG. Yes! And it's so annoying, because when you WANT to do good/better than average work on your nice paper, it's like "what is this nonsense? no."
DeleteOh good, because I was sure some of you were getting bored lol. Aww not a fan? (May I ask... why?)
I know, that's kind of how I feel about it. Even if it's the same obsession for weeks on end, if it sparks creativity, what's the harm in it??
Thank you!! You too! xo
No I did not groan. On the drive home from my vacation, I listened to quite a bit of Phantom.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite drawing was either the guitar girl (which you should totally draw more of) or the last Phantom one.
Yes, I know the Muffin Man. He lives on Drury Lane, right around the corner from me. :)
~D. Skye <3
Yaaaaaaasssss. *dances* OH REALLY? WHICH VERSION? Speak! Tell me!
DeleteMine too. (I know, I love guitars. I meant to draw more this week, but Phantom... took over... ) Squeee! That Phantom one though....
HE DOES!?? CAN YOU GET ME HIS AUTOGRAPH!? lol
Kay bai.
I'm think it's the original Broadway recording...I'm not quite sure though.
DeleteWeeeeeell, when I said I knew him, I meant I knew where he lived but we've never actually met. He brought me muffins when I moved in. But he left them on the doorstep. And the I left a note on HIS doorstep that said I preferred cupcakes to muffins. So yeah, I don't think he really likes me...
~D. Skye <3
Yassss. OBC is the best version, in my opinion. :)
Delete... you totally friendzoned the Muffin Man! lol.
I LOVE THAT LAST DRAWING WHERE THE PHANTOM IS IN CHRISTINE'S BUBBLE. Also, hehe, I giggle whenever you say POTO because it's hilarious and wonderful and I love all your drawings and the acronym of POTO makes me think of potato and that is never a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteYEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT CREEPY. Great, now everytime I use the acronym POTO I'm gonna think of potatoes, and then I will want french fries so THANK YOU FOR NOTHING, YOU USELESS REPTILE.
DeleteBut heehehe, yay. I'm glad you like mah drawings. XD
Did you groan when I said Phantom? (Because I'm aware that this obsession is bordering on worrisome.)- No. I'm a theatre loving person too.
ReplyDeleteFavorite drawing this week?-4 and 9 (darkness makes Batman!)
Should I do more guitarists? - yes, please!
Do you know the Muffin Man? - well, that depends on who is asking and why. (suspicious squint)
I must say, in your 'ugly scribbles' section the girl on the top right has a great 'aw, shucks' expression. (and hilarious captions make everything so much better!)
1.) YAY! We Theatre loving people need to stick together.
Delete2.) AAAH 4 and 9 turned out so well. (lol, I was wondering if someone was going to make a comment about the Batman remark lol.)
3.) Okey doke.
Ehehe.... *scrolls back up and peers at said girl* Ohmygoodness, you're right! *snortle* They really do. XD
1) No, I clicked your post with joy when I saw Phantomness.
ReplyDelete2) Angel of Music, you DECEIVED ME. Because yes, her expressions are perfect and the pheels.
3) Yeah, guitarists are fun. :-)
4) YES I KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN, THE MUFFIN MAN, THE MUFFIN MAN. YES I KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN WHO LIVES ON DRURY LANE. (and I also know all of his dark secrets)
And yes, I am back to participating and being a good blog reader and maybe a good blogger--we'll see.
1.) *fist bump for shared Phantom love*
Delete2.) YAAAAAASSSS thank you. (Also, why does 'pheels' sound different in my mind than 'feels' what the heck?)
3.) That seems to be the general consensus....
4.) SPILL THE DARK SECRETS, I WISH TO BLACKMAIL.
Yaaaaaay! Cause I missed you around the blogosphere. :-(
Phantom forever, says I.
ReplyDeleteI likkkeeeee.... 7.
Duuuhhhhhh
The Muffin Man? The Muffin Man... AH yes, the Muffin Man. The annoying little fellow who strangely disappeared after insulting Treskies drawings.
Second that motion. XD
Deletemheee toooo!
hahaha okey doke. lol.
Is THAT what happened to him?? *pulls out notebook* You don't happen to.... KNOW.... anything about that..... do you?
Did you groan when I said Phantom? Mmmm... a little in my heart. WEVER. I WAS LIKE HEART IS SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PICTURE SATURDAY YEEEEEHAWWW.
ReplyDeleteFavorite drawing this week? THE GUITAR ONE. ADORBSSSS.
Should I do more guitarists? YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Do you know the Muffin Man? YES I KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN, THE MUFFIN MAN, THE MUFFIN MAN, YES I KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN WHO LIVES ON DRURY LAAAAAANE. And I also know the extended version of the muffin man song because I 50% wrote it.
Jess wrote the other 50%
Well technically we didn't WRITE it.
Technically actually Fili and Kili were telling it to each other while tied to the mast of a boat piloted by a creepy wizard dwarf named Charles.
...basically don't ask.
1.) SHHHHH YOU LIE. NO ONE IS TIRED OF PHANTOM. SHHHHHH. shhhhhhh. sh. LOL I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM LOL.
Delete2.) I DREWED DAT FOR AMY CAUSE I WUV HER.
3. OKAY SHEESH.
4.) .....You wrote an extended muffin man.
Jess wrote half?
.....
.......
..........
I'm asking.
Phantom!!!! I want to see that musical one day so badly. It would be awesome! Just YES! One day. It will happen.
ReplyDeleteI love the one of Raoul! And the one with Christine that was supposed to be a rough draft. It's so perfect! I like the colored one most though I think. Because color. It goes really well.
And the guitar one! Yes, do more guitars!
Eh, the muffin man. . . no can't say that I do. *cough*
Phantom is the BEST!!!! Have you never seen it? Or have you just not seen it live? Because if you have netflix, the 25th Anniversary is on there, and it's AWESOME!!!!!!!
DeleteYeah.... *Treskie waggles eyebrows* Raoul is mah favorite-- he's the bomb. I know. I'm mad that the cute Christine ended up on bad paper, but whatever... I COLORED THAT IN YESTERDAY AND IT LOOKS AWESOME. LOL. I really like color, it's just more work and sometimes I'm lazy. *blinks at you*
Yass, okay. More guitars. lol.
.... he lives on Drury lane...
lol I think only theatre nerds aren't getting tired of Phantom. I KNOW I SHOULD COLOR IN THAT ONE but it's very tricky because I don't want to ruin it. *blink blink*
ReplyDeleteYasssss. lol Me too. And Amy's obsessed with it, which is why it turned out the way it did. ;)
*gasp* AND ALL THIS TIME I DIDN"T KNOW!!!
