⚠️MAJOR SING 2 SPOILER WARNING / ADVERTENCIA DE SPOILER MAJOR SING 2⚠️

JOHNNY’S FULL ENDING PERFORMANCE

I DO NOT OWN THIS CLIP. ALL RIGHTS GO TO UNIVERSAL AND ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT.

Hello, everyone! Sorry, I've been swamped with work and life lately, so I've been a bit absent. So if I haven't been "liking" your content or getting your art requests done, it's just because I haven't been here! I'll catch up soon.

Here is the latest chapter from my fic; it only took me five months to get it done! 🙈

Featuring @picapicamagpie's OC, Cadence, and @thecraftedmacaque's OCs, Lilac and Connor, as background characters. ☺️

***

Summary:

Odalys accidentally blows an opportunity to impress Klaus Kickenklober. In the meantime, Mortimer realizes that he has feelings for her. 

Teasers:

“I’m not worried about it,” the arrogant bird answered, “especially because your half of the class will be doing the monkey dance. The monkey dance is easy; all you do is bare your teeth, throw your fists in the air, and jump around.”

Odalys was indignant. “Whatever, Hector, the monkey dance isn’t ‘easy.’ The bird dance is just a bunch of outstretched arms and finger fluttering.”

“I could do the monkey dance with my eyes closed,” the bird said haughtily. 

“And I could out-bird you any day!” the monkey retorted.

“There’s no need to get defensive, Odalys,” Hector began, admiring himself in the mirror as he spoke. “Birds are naturally elegant and gifted dancers. They don’t have to try hard like monkeys do.” 

***

Mortimer thought of how many times he saw Klaus roast a dancer in front of the class for the tiniest mistakes, and here was Odalys, fully accepting someone exactly the way she was. He felt a surge of jealousy pulse through him and was angered to think that a girl like Odalys would love a pretentious snob like Klaus. 

“He’s nothing like her,” Mortimer seethed to himself.

***

Meanwhile, Breck was in the back of the class actively avoiding eye contact with everyone. He was in the middle of a revenge fantasy against Odalys when he suddenly had the uncanny feeling that someone was watching him from behind. He turned around to see Klaus Kickenklober standing near the studio door. He was staring at Breck’s skimpy outfit with a look of utter confusion and disdain.  Breck now lamented his choice to stay in the back of the class, as he was likely the first person Klaus saw.

I liked people’s stuff 1,000 times!

Yes, PROOF that I’m on this site too much!! 💪🏼

Adorable sketch of my OC (Odalys) by @cutekoala1001!! Also featuring some incredible sketches of irl white-fronted capuchin monkeys (my OC’s species). 🙊 

I love the way her fur frames her face and how her tail is curling over her shoulders in the bottom left image. And I love her big hands in the image on the right, and I love how she’s wearing sandals that show off her awesome monke feet 💪🏼 

Thanks for this, @cutekoala1001! I’m always blown away by your talent! 

Your OC is so sweet and classy and fun to draw!! 🥰🥰🥰 It’s an honor that you chose my drawing as a pfp, thank you so much 🥹

I can’t wait to see more of your art posted here 😄

Lilac done by the amazing @girl-monkey-odalys. Her style is so expressive! I know the bony structure of Lilac's face can be a challenge to draw. I had to pick the last one as a pfp, it's just too cute 🥰 thanks again for these!

Reblog If You Love And Adore Illumination's Sing Franchise!! 💙✨🎤

Me in Klaus’ dance class 😭😭😭😭 🙈

(I’m the proboscis monkey, not the cheetah 😝)

This is a commission by the masterful legend that we all know as @cutekoala1001.

I asked her to draw my OC struggling in a stretch next to this Sing 2 background character:

Thanks so much for your gorgeous work, @cutekoala1001 (also for actually remembering to draw her tail, unlike the animators in this scene for some reason 😂).

I don’t know why, but for some reason I am fixated on the background characters more than on the main characters of these movies 😂 I guess it’s because we know so little about them, so my mind just gets curious and wants to know more.

I feel like this cheetah is a source of drama for the dance troop and is a bit on the snotty side.

I wish there was an entire short on the dynamic between Klaus and the dancers in his troop, but since there isn’t (yet?), I just have to imagine ✨

The “Real” Moon Theatre!

Look familiar?

There are many old theatres in the heart of downtown Los Angeles in the historic Theatre District, but this one, the Los Angeles Theatre, stands out as looking very much like Illumination’s Moon Theatre from Sing! (The Hyperion Theater in Disney’s California Adventure looks a lot like Moon Theatre as well but the Los Angeles was the “original” as it was used as a basis for the Hyperion.)

And if the uncanny similarities of the beautiful architecture outside wasn’t enough, just look at the gorgeous French Baroque interior from the lobby out through the auditorium and onto the stage.

Take a “tour” at their website losangelestheatre.com Or (for a fun tour!) watch the music video from Capital City’s Safe and Sound:

And for your reading pleasure, do a search on the history of the Los Angeles Theatre and the history of DTLA theatres in general. (For some reason this post won’t show up when I add hyperlinks to certain articles so I will leave the search up to you.)

These similarities makes sense, since the movie is based in California. (Oh, excuse me, Calatonia.)

California: the inspiration behind the set design

Regarding the set design, director Garth Jennings stated on The Making of Sing (in the “Extras” on the DVD): “We went for a California-style city. I think it’s kind of a mash between San Francisco, Los Angeles, with some Miami colour schemes thrown in there just to sort of keep it delicious. We had those influences and then just infused all that into our set designs.”

Maybe… Union Station:

Maybe… somewhere on the streets of LA (Tai Chi/Yoga group outside; skateboarding; taco/fruit stand):

Maybe… San Francisco:

Speaking of San Francisco, what does SFJ Bank stand for: ?

Maybe… somewhere that definitely looks like LA:

And lets not forget where Eddie lives (in an LA-style mansion with a pool, probably in some expensive neighborhood like Bel Air or Brentwood? That’s just my opinion)… also where Nana Noodleman lives (looks like somewhere in the Palisades or Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean):

♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ ♫ Anyway, back to the point! I’m  not saying the Los Angeles Theatre is the inspiration behind Moon Theatre, since this was never quoted or confirmed by the makers of Sing. And it’s true that many historical theatres have exquisite European-style interior. But considering the architecture and the setting, it’s something to think about, isn’t it?

Ahahahahaha I love this!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍🐵🐵🐵🐵😂😂😂😂

I love both of their expressions; you got that scene perfect!! Breck’s blush 🙈

This is awesome, @popy1moon, thanks again!! 💖
