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

This boot is kind of funny bc it's shot around a couple people's heads and there's this one bald motherfucker right in front of the guy recording who blocks like 70% of the action. Which sucks, BUT, the main action being mostly blocked means there's a big chunk of Misto's solo that's just The Tugger Cam™ and it's great

i still havent figured out his exact connection to gus sr./jelly/munk but i do really like this design i made him so here gus jr. that i dont think ive shared anywhere yet

#my art #cats the musical #cats musical #i cant decide if i want him old (a sibling of jelly&munk) or younger (child of jelly) #also: i see munk as related to gus sr. and jelly (hes gus' son and jellys half-brother) #anyway gus jr. is an actor and is pretty serious about it

I tried making him as fluffy as I imagine he should be, which is waaay fluffier than most other cats

As always, you can get all these cute stuff in my redbubble

This redraw meme is going around and I did it with blorbos from my (live stage performance) shows

#because naturally we had to get real niche about it #my first Kooza fanart in months and it’s this LOL #god I still love the Trickster though I just needed the right context to draw them #and that was apparently this #also Munk my beloved #this is mostly 98 Munk with a dash of Auler’s makeup #Cirque du Soleil #Cirque du Soleil Trickster #Kooza #Trickster #Cats the Musical #Cats fanart #Munkustrap #my art #my friend pointed out that there are a surprising number of similarities between Munk and the Trickster in design and role in their shows #and like actually yeah?? it’s wild #oh to be a handsome dignified graceful stripey narrator character #and then to end up in this meme LOL

Bombalurina is hilarious bc she spends half the time thirsting over a cat that's not interested. Like babygirl, you've got *counts on fingers* at least two other cats that have been making moves on you all night 😭

#cats musical #cats the musical #bombalurina #i love my girl so much but GIRL- #DEMETER IS RIGHT THERE #AND MUNKUSTRAP??? #Munkustrap comes with a boyfriend and a girlfriend that Bomba can smooch too #yes this is munk/bomba/deme/alonzo/cassandra propaganda #cats 1998

Alright I'm getting started on my Munkustrap redesign. Side profile, because its always easiest for me to do those first.

This is very rough, quickly done, and I dunno if I'll 100% stick to it in the end, but it gives me a starting point at least!

#currently I'm all in on Mefistrap train so fir Jellice Munk gotta pick Misto #which is a little weird cuz i see Feliks and Misto as 2 completely different characters #but he is Misto‚ just Warsaw so #and i hc Warsaw Munk as aroace #cats the musical #munkustrap #polls #jellicle cats #this time more options cuz I've seen a whole bunch of different ships with him #and im really curious about the results

[painted-lemon]

Who in CATS (musical not movie) do you think would be a Tumblr sexy man if it was more popular. My bets are on Misto (they like twinks (especially twinks in top hats)) also skimbleshanks (I think they would be into train daddy)

#i could also see munk being one but i don't have an explanation for that one #cats the musical #cats 1998 #jellicle cats #mr mistoffelees #victoria cats #rum tum tugger #munkustrap #jellylorum #bombalurina #skimbleshanks
