Cats! But make it Chinese Opera! When I posted the initial exploration art of Tugger I had mainly referenced Peking Opera, but since then I think the style has grown to be a combination of multiple genres of opera haha

Since they are both sons of Old Deuteronomy, I wanted them to have elaborate costumes and roles that will stand out amongst the others! Tugger is playing the 武小生 (Wu Xiao Sheng) role and Munkustrap is playing the 长靠武生 (Chang Kao Wu Sheng) role. 武生 are martial characters and warriors, Munkustrap’s specific role is a high ranking warrior defined by using a polearm while Tugger plays a younger warrior. Although my explanation is short there are actually a lot more details regarding the difference in singing tone, costumes, and personality between each role! I’ve only started researching about this when i started this project so unfortunately I am still not very knowledgeable about Chinese Opera ><; but hopefully I get to learn more as I continue exploring with this project 🥰

The Chinese text in the box behind Munkustrap reads: The Hero Cat

The Chinese text in the box behind Tugger reads: The Rock and Roll Cat

colorful cats nonrep redesign -- some info under the cut

i finally pulled together my two-year-old colorful designs--and filled in the rest of the cast--so i can finally share!

it's a bit underbaked: i don't have a setting in mind, other than perhaps a colorfully painted junkyard, but color in general would be very, very prominent in the show--with grizabella having lost all her color except for her one final pink heart, and macavity's fight sequence ideally being illuminated only by a set of sodium lamps--causing the entire stage to appear monochromatic--taking color away from all the other cats until mister mistoffelees returns it in his number.

overall the main point was to introduce bright or unnatural colors to all the cats; I really liked how mexico '18 included a bit of pink and a few bright colors in their designs, so I wanted to go a lot further with that, and use the london costume style

later on i would like to expand on the designs since i obv used the same silhouette for everyone when there SHOULD be some variation in the wig shapes and shoulder-fluffies placement, etc, but i definitely didn't have the time or energy for that this time around lol

note: the 'chorus' cats are all my pre-existing ocs except for tabbyswing!

every so often I come back to attempting to draw these cats has people, as I've never been good at drawing people. So here's another attempt.

I really just want to find a style that feels like me and not a strangers.

I haven't done a raffle since 2020, I don't think? So let's fix that! Please read all of this information to enter. If you have any questions, please ask!

💫Entry is $10 for one 'ticket', or $20 for three. You can purchase more if you'd like. Each 'ticket' is your username on a piece of paper folded and placed into a hat. I will be folding all of these and picking the winner on an Instagram live after doing makeup.

💫You must like this post and be following me to enter. Sharing on your page or story gives an extra entry if you have purchased one.

💫This is limited to 50 purchased entries, however I may end it early if necessary. Payment is made via PayPal or Venmo.

💫International and domestic shipping will be included in the prize. If you win, there will be no additional cost.

💫Winner receives one full costume of their choice, which includes unitard, wig, tail, legwarmers , and armwarmers or gloves. OCs are allowed, and so are swing characters, and the like. This is not limited to standard UK/1998 designs.

💫Cassandra, Grizabella(not 'Baby Griz'), Old Deuteronomy, Macavity, Growltiger, Griddlebone, and *song* costumes for Jennyanydots, Mungojerrie , Rumpleteazer, and Mistoffelees are not included in this raffle. Their standard costumes are fine. Rum Tum Tugger is allowed and would come with unitard, mane, wig, tail, and optional legwarmers.
