I'm sure that all of you are tired of me posting my doodles of Tobias... so this will be the last one for a while. He's just so much fun to draw! I wont make you all suffer through my current obsession any longer.

Anywho, this is how I think the beginning of the 2005 revival play should be shot if it were a movie.

Tobias lifted his head into the bright light, coming to terms with the fact that he was straight jacketed and placed in an asylum. His vision was blurred with the story what was hidden behind them: a story of murder and insanity. With nothing but the walls to hear his cries, he opened his mouth tentatively and spoke.

“Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd…”

I wrote it myself... just how I thought it would be written. I thought of this after reading the synopsis in the booklet that came with the CD, so I'm not sure if thats really how it is.

Um... the Tobias in the chair and straight jacket is how he looked in the play. The other two are of my own design. I sort of like my own design better, but you cant fight Broadway. :shrug: So yeah.

Oh, and sorry for copy/pasting old pictures on there. ^^; I feel so cheap and lazy.

I love the way you have those ghost-like images of (I assume) Todd remembering his past. I wonder if he will tell the story as straight as his jacket?

lol Yeah. :D But he did end up killing Sweeney in the end, which is murder. But ut was only payback... or revenge.

Thanks for the comment!

Yup! Thats what those are.

And, no, he doesnt tell the story in his straight jacket. They let him out of it and the stage comes alive with people. Plus, he has to play the violin.

Thanks for the coment. ^_^

The straight jacket was sort of tough. One of the lines went missing about halfway through and I dont kow where it went, so that made it tough to know where the shading would go. :O_o:

I'd go crazy too if a guy killed a woman right in front of me. But I think they mostly tied him up because he killed Sweeney, not because he was actually in the place of crazyville.

I've been trying to find the book, but you can only find the screenplay. I know it was a book, but I;m not able to locate it.

Thanks for the comment. ^_^ Its greatly appreciated.
