PIcture Saturday -- In which I listen to musicals.

A lot.

Like, we have listened or watched a musical almost every single day for the past two weeks.

Sometimes we just re-listened to Phantom of the Opera, and Jekyll and Hyde. (I think in the last week, we've listened to PoTO like five times, and it's been awesome.) Other times, it was Jane Eyre or Oklahoma, or Pirates of Penzance, and HMS Pinafore.

Tonight we listened to Tale of Two Cities. (James Barbour as Sidney Carton makes me feel things.)

Tomorrow we're going to do The Secret Garden.

We might possibly listen to Phantom again after that.

We really love musicals.


So this week's Picture Saturday is mostly fanart for Phantom. Because I am a Phangirl. (I can't remember a time when I haven't known the musical, so I think it's the best one. I love the music, I love the story, I love the characters. It's the bomb diggety.)


1.) So, Christine. Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is one of my all time favorite Broadway songs. Such the best.



2.) Christine is adorable.

I don't know why there are weird splotches. Is weird.


3.) PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LYRICS ARE THE COOLEST, GUYS. The coolest. 

 

4.) My sister's brother was being a brat.... but he gave me this really cool idea.



Princess Assassins.


5.) NINJAAAAAAAAAAA TRAINING. With tiaras and everything. Skillz.



5.) Musicals are a big thing in my life right now. Will and Ada Annie from Oklahoma.



6.) Hannah requested more Steampunk stuff. So I obliged. She further requested jet packs.

I'm very obliging.

I meant to color these in, but I did not, so next week, you'll get the color versions of them.



7.) Jetpaaaaaaaaaacks.



8.) BECAUSE JOSH GROBAN SANG ALL I ASK OF YOU, AND I MELTED. If he ever played Raoul on stage, I might actually flip out.



9.) There aren't a lot of women inventors in Steampunk so this lady is coming up with an Iron Man like hand.



10.) Yeah, I'm not obsessed with the PoTO at all...



10.) Not. 
At. 
All.

 I really love Raoul and Christine's relationship, they're sweet. And I love how he's the exact opposite of the Phantom, and how protective he is of Christine, it's adorable. *sigh*

 

I think I work best using mixed media. Copics and colored pencils work really well together, and I'm just having a lot of fun combining colors. *Happiness is real.*

So yes, that's it this week...

I see I'm almost to 100 followers. SQUEEEEEE! THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ME!!! It makes me so happy when you do that. Hello.


When I get to 100 I would like to do a giveaway, but I'm not sure what to give... away. Would you guys be interested if for the prize you could ask for any picture and I'd do it for you? Or you could request a print of one I've done.... Or something like that.

Spread the word though, 100 followers means giveaway!! 

Also, I have a tumblr now. Because people's art seems to get noticed a lot on tumblr, and I want to get my art out there, so. Here is the linky: Mah tumblr. It's weird, and I'm not sure if I like it, but hey, if you have one, give me a follow!


Treskie out.

  1. YAY ANOTHER PICTURE SATURDAY!!!!! *dies*

    These are so mah favorite things ever.

    First off, as far as musicals go--SECRET GARDEN IS THE BEST EVER EVER EVER. The songs are soooooooooooooooooo good.

    Wow, much POTO! I love them all. You really captured Christine. I love the one with her and Raoul because Raoul is the best. I hate when people ship the phantom and Christine because Raoul is so much better. The phantom is a creep.

    HAHAHA PRINCESS ASSASSINS ARE PRICELESS!!!

    The Oklahoma one makes me want to see Oklahoma.

    STEAMPUNK! YAYYYY!!!! THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!! I seriously love them.

    And for the record, in my steampunk book there is a girl inventor. So there. Boom. XD

    But those are AMAZINGGGGGG AGHHHHH!!! Your steampunk ones are so cool and awesome.

    The one with the girl in the headphones is funny and cute.

    I'm dying over all the colors, though. SO COOL AND AWESOME.

    I would die if there was a giveaway because YOUR ART. ON MY WALL. I have three already but I would really cover my wall with your art.

    And I don't do tumblr or else you know I'd follow you. So make sure you don't only post your stuff on tumblr because then I would be missing out and that would be too sad to even bear.

    1. *resuscitates you*

      Hahaha, it amuses me that you like them so much. XD

      AS FOR MUSICALS, I think POTO takes the cake, but SECRET GARDEN IS A CLOSE SECOND. BECAUSE BASICALLY LILY HAS A BEAUTEOUS VOICE.

      Christine's really easy for me to draw, she's iconic. I love her. She's so sweet and innocent, and dat high E doh. I SHIP CHRISTINE AND RAOUL SO HARD. HE IS A DAHL. But I will say the Phantom has a really sad story. Yeah, he's totally creepy, and I'm glad she chose Raoul, but he did have a sad life.

      AREN'T THEY THOUGH? WRITE A STORY.

      Watch the Oklahoma! with Hugh Jackman, I think it's all on youtube. Judd Fry sings a creepy song, and there's a weird ballet sequence, but other than that SO GOOD. Ehehehe.

      STEAMPUNK IS FOREVER. LOL.

      oh good for you. GREAT MINDS, HANNAH. WE THINK ALIKE.

      Thank you! hahahahaha. XD

      I LOVE THE ONE WITH THE HEADPHONES, THAT WAS BASICALLY A SELF PORTRAIT.

      you like dem colors doh? *shucks*

      YOU'D HAVE TO WIN IT THOUGH, I'M NOT GOING A FREE DRAWING FOR 100 PEOPLE. LOL. I would love you to cover your wall with my art too. IT would FLATTER my EGO.

      I know you would, because you are good person. I won't, I'm gonna post all the stuff I do on there on here, so you're safe. XD

  2. Yessss! Lovely giveaway with pictures! You should *do* that. Emphatically.

    PS
    I've never even watched Phantom of the Opera, and the last one with Raoul and Christine is PERFECT.
    I also really love the girl with headphones. She is adorables.

  3. POTO I LOVE YOU

    Thank you, I needed this. Because I always need more POTO. Except sometimes when it's stuck in my head for six months straight.

    But yes precious yes I love the way you drew the Phantom. And Christine and Raoul, except for Raoul's shoes.... ;-)

    2. YES. WE MUST. Please remember that because I will forget when we actually come and then as we're driving away be like, "NOOOOO WE DIDN'T WATCH POTO WITH HER." Because that is what I do.

  4. I just recently discovered Phantom of the Opera and was like "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?" Phantom of the Opera lyrics are the coolest, and the music, and the singing :). I've been going around the house singing opera for weeks now and my brothers have been giving me strange looks. Josh Groban did an amazing job which is no surprise. I squeeled when I heard it. Have you heard the Lindsey Stirling version of Phantom of the Opera? It's epic.

    1. Whaaaat? Phantom is amazing!!! EXACTLY, WHERE WAS IT ALL YOUR LIFE? Phantom of the Opera have the coolest lyrics! Like... "Angel of Darkness, cease this torment." like YES. Oh, there's constant opera and musicals being sung at our house. The neighbors have stopped giving us weird looks lol.

      JOSH NAILED IT. *dies a little* And yeah, Lindsey did an awesome job. She *rocked it* (get it, get it? I slay me)

  6. Phantom of the Opera! These are so awesome! I think I like the last two best. But it's so hard to choose. I recently saw the movie in one of my classes, and I might just really, really love the music. Have you heard Lindsey Stirling's Phantom of the Opera Medley? It is amazing! I hear about her every now and then and someone reviewed her PotO Medley and I had to buy it.

    And I love the Princess Assassin! She's awesome. Are you going to do more of her?

    1. Exactly, Phantom!! XD I like the last two best too. I drew them while I was listening, and it just ooooozed through the paper. XD I'm glad you have a hard time choosing though.... :)

      Mmm the movie adaption is not as good as the stage production, I don't think. Have you seen the 25th Anniversary production of it" that's my favorite filmed version... I think it's on youtube. THAT RAOUL MAKES ME DIE BECAUSE HE IS SO FRIKKEN ADORABLE.
      I LOVE Lindsey's POTO medley, it's AWESOME!

      Ehe, she's funny, I like her too. I can if you want me to... I think her name is Roxy.
