Heading to the moon theater Christmas party

[lemonisntreal]

Some sketches because it's been months since I drew these idiots oops☝️🥰

HI THERE. It's been a minute, sorry about that lol. I took a tiny out-of-nowhere and sorta involuntary break from the fandom because I lost interest for a second, but I'm slowlyyyy making my way back. With art, and some news about Tone Deaf for the people who are still wondering about that.

Also I see there's some asks in my box, I'll get to that eventually, I see you ;-; dw

--------------------

As stated, I momentarily lost a bit of interest with this movie- partially because I've recently been ensnared in a new fixation that will not be named right now, but yeah. I'm digging my heels in rn, because the last thing I wanna do is abandon this project. But, also, I've clearly bitten off more than I can chew with this being a comic lmao. In over my head and going through all 5 stages of grief and currently on acceptance.

The story got bigger. Like, a LOT bigger. Too big to capture every thought in a drawing and panel it and put it out as a perfectly polished comic without seriously burning myself out. It really doesn't help that my art style evolves by the second too apparently, so I've reached a middle-ground:

Tone Deaf is going to be a fic with some comic-like segments in it. An illustrated fanfic bc I still love showing and not telling a little too much.

This'll help me not only get stuff out faster, but also to help me fill in the gaps I didn't know how to draw with just text. So I can focus on just drawing the juicy shit. This also means it'll all be collected over on Ao3 in a neat little package, and I honestly prefer that over having a bunch of posts of pages that might be hard to find. So yeah, that's the plan.

Another bonus is that the frames can now be a lot more polished and nice looking [in glorious color] rather than hastily mashed together due to my bad habit of going overboard on singular frames without realizing it.

--------------------

Tldr; Tone Deaf is technically still gonna be a comic, it's just now gonna be supplemented with word-based fic mixed in because I made the project way too fucking big [the first Act has like 20 chapters I'm going to literally die]. Also it's gonna be on Ao3 and I'll probably be posting all the art here alongside any updates I make so huzzah! Help me :>

One year later, I edit my first version of human Sing characters ...and some bonus sketch ~

[sunshinetomioka]

i've been watching quite a lot of series/film with animal/anthropomorphic animals recently so I drew my fav out of all of them eheh

[description : multiple character drawing in color. Top left bust of Legoshi from Beastars who is curious because he hears something from the right. To his right, bust of Shirou from BNA showing his fangs. Next the monkey king of the 2023 netlifx movie, he is in side view and is proud. Below, his face from the front even prouder with his mouth opened in a kind of a smile. At the bottom right, a small Mr Piranha of The bad guys a bit feral. Next, Mr Piranha who waves with his right hand! On his left, Michiru of BNA who looks at us from 3/4 view smiling open mouth. Finally far left down, Johnny from sing speaking with enthusiasm. Between him and the Legoshi above, a smaller legoshi all happy who wags his tail thinking about his deer friend, Louis.]

I didn't want to have to make this post, I've seen enough shipping drama on Tumblr over the years that I usually steer clear of it, but there’s been so much Nooshy bashing in the tags lately that I feel compelled to weigh in on it.

Why do people like Nooshy? Well, to put it simply, even though she’s never the center of attention in "Sing 2", Nooshy manages to be a girl with layers, and there's a lot to appreciate about her. When we're first introduced to her, she's a street performer so she can make the money that she needs to survive, but she’s also genuinely passionate about her craft - she loves to dance - and she enjoys getting a chance to share that passion with someone else whenever they come along.

While she can be snarky and prickly and slow to trust strangers, she’s also very nice once you get to know her. After a young turtle kid almost screws up her performance, she's still very playful and accommodating towards him. When she’s brought backstage to the Crystal theater, she compliments some dude's hat just to make him feel good about himself. While she initially agrees to help Johnny because he offers to pay her, she starts to stick up for him and genuinely support him, because the way Klaus treats him isn't right. She decides to help the Moon Theater troupe put on their big show, even though she's only known these people for about a week and their plan will surely be very dangerous, because the way Jimmy Crystal treats them isn't right either and she wants to help them stick it to the man. After Johnny tells her that he and his family used to be a gang of notorious criminals, Nooshy never judges them for their shady past, and is actually quite happy to see how close he and his father are now (especially since it's implied that she might not even have parents herself). And during "A Sky Full Of Stars", she encourages Johnny to never give up and follow his heart, because he's her friend and she wants to see him succeed.

Nooshy is snarky and mischievous, but underneath it all, she's actually a very kind girl, and very loyal towards the people who earn her respect. And by the end of "Sing 2", she gets her happy ending when she not only gets a new paying career doing what she loves, but also finds a place where she belongs among the Moon Theater troupe.

The reason why I just went off on that rather long tangent, dissecting her character, is to drive home the point that Nooshy has done nothing in the canon films to warrant the way people talk about her sometimes.

I've seen people insult everything about her and her fans for shipping reasons, because they see her as a threat to their preferred ships (even though she and Johnny are not even canonically a couple by the end of "Sing 2"). And there's a real double standard when it comes to this too, because no other character who's been shipped with Johnny over the years gets this kind of treatment. Meena doesn't, Ash doesn't, Ryan doesn't (even though the claim that Nooshy haters sometimes make - that people only like her as one half of a ship - could just as easily be said about him).

And this is really nothing new. Characters getting trash-talked over shipping wars is a tale as old as time when it comes to fandoms, and people are entitled to their opinions. The reason why I made this post is because lately, the Nooshy bashing is starting to cross a line.

Over the last few months, I've been seeing a growing number of comments complaining about people including Nooshy in their fanart. I've also been seeing a growing number of posts outright insulting people who like Nooshy or like to ship her with Johnny, saying that they're stupid and shallow and should just go away because they’re a blight on the fandom.

How about no.

In a fandom, people are allowed to like whatever character they like, or ship whatever couple they like, so long as they're not hurting anyone. If you hate Nooshy so much that you can't stand seeing any fanart of her or fanfics of her, because you don't want to be reminded that she exists, then I'm sorry but you're either just going to have to deal with that or stop engaging with the parts of the fandom where people want to appreciate her. Because quite frankly, your hatred for this character is no one else’s problem except your own and people are not going to stop liking her just for your benefit.

i actually find this scene kinda sad🥺

Idk about yall but illuminations make the cutest fucking models ever. In fucking existence.

I’ve actually mainly only watched 2 different types of movies they made (minions and despicable me are the same series and then sing)

You guys can’t tell me the minion models (ESPECIALLY THE MAIN THREE KEVIN, STEWART AND BOB) aren’t fucking adorable. Idc how many Facebook moms use them for HORRIBLE memes but god DAMN IT.

Also gru as a child. Coke on. His model + his voice is fucking adorable. And I hate kids.

Need I say anything? Buster, Porsha, johnny, Rosita, ash, gunter and hell even crawly are cute (the best being buster porsha and Rosita)

I hate porcupines, pigs, koalas and gorillas looks. Hate them. But illuminations has the ability to make these things I HATE into something adorable af.

Now thinking of it I think illuminations made me like gorillas and koalas looks (especially baby koalas omfg). I always say koalas are like the pugs of the tree dwellers, so ugly that they’re cute.

I used to think koalas second thumb looked weird but growing up is realizing koalas and their silly hands are fucking cute‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Also Nooshy. I just love lynx.

I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN SING 3 😵‍💫

Teaser for the next chapter of my version of Sing (Remake)

Johnny brightly smiled and exited through the red door. He looked around to make sure the cops weren’t around. Once the coast was clear, Johnny skated through the bad side of the city. He put his headphones over his head and listened to the music. He muttered some familiar lyrics to practice. Looking at his phone, he checked the website of the club the strange koala suggested to make sure his appointment was on the right time. 

Ten o’clock. Perfect. He should be there in about fifteen minutes. 

Johnny rehearsed the lyrics in his head while listening to the music.

“Finders keepers, losers weepers.

Finders keepers, losers weepers.”

The gorilla smiled a bit while singing to the lyrics until he arrived at the club he was supposed to be at called Betty’s Club. He hopped off of his skateboard and entered through the door. Johnny noticed the shy elephant in a light blue sweater and brown short hair in pigtails. She seemed nervous given to her rubbing her hands and her giant ears sticking close to her face to hide it. 

“Uh, ‘ello?” Johnny called while looking around the club. 

The polar bear in a red Hawaiian shirt noticed him. “You’re gonna have to wait for your turn!” 

“Oh, sorry, I have an appointment at ten—”

“Just stand in line,” the polar boy grumbled. 

Johnny did as instructed. He looked at the elephant. “Are you in line?” 

She shook her head. “Oh no, I’m waiting for my friend and her boyfriend.”

“Oh, okay.” 

“Next!” the polar bear called while the beavers who were on stage performing a song hopped off. 

Johnny noticed a couple of porcupines who seemed to be a couple. The gorilla watched in interest as the porcupines strapped their guitars on.

[I'm a little late due to a sudden bout of perfectionism, but we don't talk about that-]

Can't believe it's been a whole six years since this... thing dropped. Saw it on release, and I regret not immediately falling in love with it. I thought it was fun [not great critically or quality-wise, but still a good time], but I didn't truly grow attached until watching the second movie about 4 months ago. Sing 2 unlocked some part of my brain- idk how [I know exactly how] but now I'm here- celebrating with a huge drawing of all of the [slightly redisigned] characters! HAhA-

All of the characters I drew, and whether or not the designs have been finalized

Buster - Finalized Eddie - Finalized Meena - Finalized Ash - Finalized Johnny - Incomplete Mike - Finalized Rosita - Finalized Gunter - Incomplete Nooshy - Finalized? Ryan - Incomplete Porsha - Incomplete

[Holy shit there's so many of them-]

I took a few creative liberties and gave a couple of them some new features- either for lore-relevance, or just because I think it looked perty. Mike's kinda jacked up [realizing that his damaged ear is hidden behind Gunter smh], Meena's got tusks, Eddie has horns, and I put them in different outfits as well [I've got wardrobe ideas for all of them lol].

So TLDR, I basically yassified them :/

[also fun fact, the second movie released on the 22nd of December- so they practically have the same anniversary date. Which is insane to me. Wondering if it's purposeful or coincidental they were released on nearly the exact same day. Will probably release something tomorrow too because of this-]

Very bad quality, but I noticed something when rewatching Sing 2 today

I think Johnny noticed how scared Buster is of Crystal

[countryrebel1995]

One moment that always makes me chuckle in "Sing 2" is when the theater animals are sneaking around Crystal Entertainment, disguised as janitors, and Rosita worries aloud that they could all get arrested for trespassing. 

You just know Buster and Johnny were standing there next to her thinking "This is nowhere near the most illegal thing that I've done in my life".

[dreamingbigdreams101]

i love them all here.
