Sweeney sketch

If you haven't seen Sweeney Todd, really. Go do it now. I mean, it is fantastic. I have songs running through my head like a marathon. Er... but there's a lot of blood. Like... a lot of blood. Squirts out of necks like... well... there's a lot of blood.



There's a coloured version here: http://sarcasticfox.deviantart.com/art/The-Foolish-Barber-75674027, though I honestly don't like it. I prefer sketching.

Two bits I particularly liked, just because I'm nitpicky. 1) The bit after Sweeney kills that fake Spanish bloke and then sits down in a chair. Might just be me, but the first thing that I thought was "Well, after a good day of bludgeoning a man to death with a kettle, I like to sit back and put my feet up. Nothing like a sit down after a good murder."

2) Sweeney's epiphany scene. It's just hilarious to me because it doesn't make any sense. Of course, he's mad. It's not supposed to make any sense. But I just think it's great that after one thwarting of his plans, he decides to kill everyone and then oh yeah, that judge dude too. Can't forget about him.

But it really was totally awesome. With lots of blood.
