MOAR CONCEPT ARTS!!! :P
Another batch of random sketches / conceptual drawings compiled from my now bulging sketchbook (if you can indeed call it a sketchbook… it’s more like a giant folder crammed with everything but the kitchen sink…)
Right, back to work, here we have: two roughly painted portraits of Mrs Lovett and Sweeney Todd (because it’s one thing to make things work in black and white and quite another when it comes to colour), some random poses (Mrs Lovett giving Sweeney a kiss = a Valentine’s Day nightmare) and some early drawings of some of the other characters in The String of Pearls; Lieutenant Thornhill (the dawg), Colonel Jeffery (the tiger, an officer of the Indian Army), Johanna Oakley (the… guh… typical sweetheart of a Victorian narrative) and that scruffy fellow above is Mark Ingestrie (most of you will know him as Anthony in later versions of the tale)… also of course, Mr Fogg and the crazies (sounds like a great name for a rock band).
Uuuurgh…

Yeah, doing Mrs. Lovett was actually the role that made me decide to pursue musical theatre as a career - it's one of my life goals to play her again when I feel I can really do her some justice (in a couple decades or so, haha). Hopefully on Broadway haha but who knows. ;P But yeah, I feel very close to the character and she is what makes the show for me, in any form - probably why I didn't like Burton's movie so much, I really disliked Helena Bonham Carter's Lovett. She was far too sympathetic for my tastes. (And vocally couldn't carry it but yeah.)
And thank you!
