I realized I never posted these here on tumblr! 2020 did unspeakable things to my mind and body…I staggered away from lockdown with a whole pitch of how I would make an animated Cats adaptation. I got the whole thing up here *taps skull*—it would be Very Good. I can’t think about it too much lest I awaken my sleeping obsession…still want to finish Old Deut and Macavity one of these days.

Fun fact: The term "Jellicle Cat" is actually the cats’ mishearing of the term "Dear Little Cat" (this gives me much joy)

my final assignment for my costume design class! Mr Mistoffelees and Bombalurina from Cats redesigned as humans :)

My concept is that they are a drag king and queen duo who perform at a 1930s inspired club

A colored sketch commission completed for someone over on instagram!

Was tasked to draw 1998 Bomba, Demeter, and Munk! The person who commissioned me needed to give a presentation at a con that talked about online safety and stalking, and it needed to incorporate a fandom they were a part of! So I got to draw this piece to help with their presentation!

It was SO FUN getting to work on Cats art again, I really (really) missed drawing these characters!

#I tried a different method for how I colored the costumes and it was so much easier #defo doing that from now on #art #fanart #Cats #Cats the musical #cats musical #the cats musical #mycatsart #munkustrap #demeter #demeter cats #bombalurina #cats 1998 #cats 1998 fanart

A commission I got from @srslyarts ♡

It's a scene of one of my favorite headcanons: A younger Tugger at his first Ball doing his number, with kitten Bombalurina, Rumpleteazer, Misto and my OC Artemis as his fans!

Ultimately, the reason Cats (2019) didn’t work is that it never took itself seriously.

You may say “well, how could they possibly do that? The premise is ridiculous.”

Yes, the premise is ridiculous. But the show didn’t earn (at one point) the honor of “longest running show on Broadway” by simply being ridiculous.

People singing and dancing, dressed as cats, only works by suspension of disbelief.

You can’t suspend disbelief if the narrative isn’t trying to take itself seriously.

Will everyone enjoy the show, even when done right? No. There is, thus far, nothing everyone enjoys. We’re all different that way.

But this

Is not taking itself seriously.

They look more anatomically accurate and cost much more money to make, but that’s how they come across as less convincing.

Having the physical attributes. The exaggerated features to play off of is INVALUABLE to a Cats performer and their performance.

Cats (2019) doesn’t try too hard for feline mannerisms, but when they do, it doesn’t work. Why? Because there’s nothing actually there to play off of except imagination.

Imagination is a powerful thing, yes, but practical makeup, costumes, and effects are very useful. CGI is more beneficial when trying to create fully fictional or dangerous to film in landscapes. The ocean, an asteroid field, etc.

While humanoid cats aren’t a real thing, they have been created with practical means on stage for decades.

You can stack a cast until they reach the moon. You could have the absolutely most talented singers, dancers, and actors. It will all be meaningless if the overall production is not being taken seriously. Individual actors taking the project entirely seriously (Ian, Judi, etc.) will not make up for others (editing, effects, producers, etc.) not doing the same.

This absolutely goes for anything, with or without a ridiculous premise.
