Klaus’ Kind Smile 🥰

Stuff from the Zinman Storyboards

Suki bribing the rental car person (who apparently used to be a dog, not a donkey like we see in movie) likely for the car's gps location is so smart, I love her.

Who is the bear in the car here? Buster reacts to them and being told to come with them with fear so other character perhaps? Was this originally a Jerry like character?

WE COULD HAVE HAD CURLY HAIRED SUKI?????? WE COULD HAVE HAD CURLS?????

Considering Saluki's naturally have wavy fur, I love this and she could have been straightening it in the movie when we do see her.

Buster looks so terrified in this frame, but it's drawn so well. He looks so little.

It almost seems like Ash went to Calloway's alone this time? Or at least had a lot more trouble convincing him at the start.

The smaller hotel room!! I love how messy it looks with all the sticky notes and papers.

We were legit just talking about this on discord but now athlete Rosita canon!!

This interaction with Mrs. Crawly after Buster keeps Porsha over Rosita is amazing, I love it so much. Mrs. Crawly's clear disappointment in his choice and his quiet guilt about it as well? Perfection.

Yaaaaay, Klaus headcannons!!!!! 🙈

Some fun headcanons for Klaus, Porsha, Nooshy, and (since he’s my favorite) even more about Darius!

Klaus Kickenklober:

Perfectionist Tendencies:

Klaus has an immaculate routine—everything from his diet to his exercise schedule is planned down to the minute. If something disrupts it, he becomes hilariously irritable.

He spends hours perfecting his choreography but will never admit how much effort it takes. He’d rather people think it comes naturally.

Hidden Passion:

Secretly a fan of vintage musicals but acts like they’re “beneath him.”

Loves tea more than coffee, but drinks coffee in public because it feels more "refined."

Unintentionally Funny:

Klaus’s bluntness often makes people laugh, though he never means to be funny. He’ll say something completely serious, and everyone will assume it’s a joke.

He’s bad with modern slang. Nooshy once said “slay,” and he thought she was being literal.

Porsha Crystal

Social Media Queen (obviously):

Porsha has a massive following online and posts daily updates about her outfits, rehearsals, and random thoughts. Her fans adore her chaotic energy.

Unpredictable Talent:

She’s surprisingly good at skateboarding. Nooshy taught her a few tricks, and now she insists on bringing her board everywhere.

Can do makeup perfectly in under five minutes, no mirror required.

Heart of Gold:

Despite her spoiled upbringing, Porsha genuinely cares about her friends and will defend them with her whole heart.

She’s the first to cheer someone up when they’re down, often with wildly over-the-top ideas like throwing a surprise party.

Quirky Interests:

Loves conspiracy theories and has a whole notebook dedicated to researching them. She swears aliens are real.

Collects novelty mugs and insists on drinking her coffee from a different one each day.

Nooshy:

Street Smart:

Knows every shortcut and hidden gem in the city. If you’re lost, Nooshy is your go-to guide.

She’s amazing at bargaining and can talk her way into getting almost anything for free.

Loyal Friend:

She has a protective streak, especially with the younger cast members. If someone messes with them, she’ll show up ready to throw hands.

Hobby Enthusiast:

Has a surprisingly good singing voice but keeps it to herself, claiming it’s “not her thing.”

Even More Darius Headcanons!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🥹🙏

Center of Attention:

If Darius walks into a room and no one notices, he’ll “accidentally” drop something or hum loudly to make sure they do.

He tries to act unfazed when he’s complimented but secretly thrives on the praise.

Artistic Side:

Loves sketching but is terrible at it. He’ll show Louisa (My oc) his attempts, and she’ll have to stifle a laugh while complimenting his "abstract" style.

Writes overly dramatic song lyrics in his downtime, but most of them never see the light of day.

Surprisingly Messy:

His home is the perfect mix of luxury and chaos. Expensive furniture? Yes. Clothes and scripts strewn everywhere? Also yes.

He has an organization system that makes sense only to him, like keeping his socks in the kitchen drawer because it’s “convenient.”

Hilarious Vulnerabilities:

Gets grumpy when people don’t laugh at his jokes, even though they’re sometimes awful.

Dynamic with Louisa:

🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

He’d be the type to tease Louisa constantly, but the moment someone else does it, he’d shut them down with an intense glare.

If Louisa’s ever upset, he’ll do anything to make her smile, even if it means embarrassing himself.

It’s been a trying week. Time for a monkey doodle 🙈

A little exercise in the different paws and hands we see in the Sing universe :: [[ Feel free to use as ref ]]

I was drawing Ash and realized that I wasn't too sure how I actually wanted her paws to look? Because so far, I've just been using the "default hands" that the movies use- or just Buster's paws except with shorter claws and the normal amount of thumbs. But I'm wanting everyone to look a little more distinct than what we see in the movies, so I fucked around with some references and made anthro versions of how various paws look in real life.

NOTES :

Porcupine paws are probably my favorite to draw, with narrower fingers, claws, and messy fur, and perfect paw pads/beans.

I LOVE KOALA HANDS SO MUCH, I'm actually kinda pissed Buster doesn't canonically have two thumbs on each hand because it's genuinely SUCH a cool feature omg. I headcanon him being able to be super dexterous because of it [despite his clumsiness]

Pigs are by far the easiest for me to draw. They actually have beans too kinda? Like they definitely have some pad irl. So I draw it kinda emphasized so they can actually realistically grab stuff in-universe.

Sheep/Ungulates hooves are similar, except they're actually the HARDEST for me to draw. I genuinely hate how hooves are done in the Sing movies, like why are they fleshy. So I didn't really have any reference and had to basically bullshit the entire thing lol. Yeah the "hoof-fingers" bend at that part that looks like a joint. Yes it's gonna be weird technically.

Wolf paws are easy. Truly default. And cat paws are actually kinda similar, so I didn't draw them [laziness too lol]

Bear paws are just BIG Wolf paws. Love how wide they are. Can't wait to draw Harry, I love Bears so muchhh ughhghohjsud

Mice paws are weirdest, but I have fun with them. Really close to human hands. Love how they're pink on the bottoms <3 Mike's gonna be so cutie patootie

Gorilla hands were the second easiest to draw. Mostly because I'm pretty ok at drawing human hands, so it only really needed a little translation [don't ask me about drawing the rest of the Gorilla though, I'm still struggling to draw Johnny to this fucking day-]

Nvm, Elephant "paws" are the weirdest actually. That's just a circle- how do they grab literally anything in-universe? [I tried defining fingers, but it still looks a little odd. Might be weird looking in some drawings lol]

So I have a friend (let’s just call him @thecraftedmacaque) who thinks he can’t draw. So I am posting some of his art here behind his back just to prove a point (that his art is amazing).

This is his MLP OC (a non-pony OC), a mandrill named Hayes.

Hello buddy 😁

what is your favorite dog breed

Mutt 😎

My blog should just be called Monkeyface Explosion 🙈

Absolutely gorgeous OC turnaround commission by @ammatori. I love her beautiful children’s book-illustrator style, and I’m so happy with this! My OC looks so pretty in her style, especially her hair omg!

This is my female proboscis monkey character, Eloïse Eitzen. I have been meaning to work on her design, but I’ve just been so swamped with work and life lately, I decided to get help from artists on Tumblr. 

This character is really hard to draw because there are no female proboscis monkeys in the Sing franchise. (And there’s only one female primate I’ve ever seen, a random baboon background character in the first movie). Also, female proboscis monkeys don’t look exactly like the males (they don’t have the huge long noses, for example; their noses are upturned), so we can’t even use Klaus as a reference 🙈 I described what I thought a female would look like, and @ammatori executed that very well! 😍

More commissions of Eloïse to come soon! ✨ 

Silly little edit I did awhile ago 🙈

My OCs took Kickenklober out for a night on the town at The Salty Simiano (the restaurant from my fic). 😂

I headcannon that he likes foo foo drinks 🍹

Also that he unintentionally got into a bar fight on this night 😂

Luckily, @picapicamagpie’s OC Cadence was there. She took out the other guy 💪🏼

I both love and am blown away by your attention to detail 💗 🤯

Named Businesses/Brands in the Sing Franchise: Sing 1

In a recent rewatch of the movies, I tried to find all the named businesses and brands that are in the movies for world building sake (minus bands and entertainment acts cause thats a different list). So here is, in semi chronological order, all the ones that appear in the first movie!

-------

SN Eyewear - A brand advertising on the metro line station Ash and Lance were at.

Repair Services Garage/Garage - It is not clear whether or not the garage run by Johnny's family even uses either name, however, that is the wording printed on the building were a name would be.
