Sweeney Todd - The String of Pearls

A little insight into my current project... an adaptation of the Fleet Street publisher Edward Lloyd's 1846/47 Penny Dreadful serial (Sweeney Todd) 'The String of Pearls: A Romance' into graphic format.

Spooky links and info for sketch commissioners...

Quote~ “We shall not flag or fail. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” - Churchill, Sir Winston (1874-1965)


Journal~

*Sigh* I've been neglecting this gallery again and I have no idea where the time over the past two weeks has gone! I had wanted to do a 'spooky' post on Halloween but somehow missed it (actually, I was having far too much fun!) Halloween this year consisted of absolutely no trick-or-treaters (maybe I'm too scary) and a scary movie night (Drag Me To Hell is an unmissable movie, seriously). Even Guy Fawkes Night felt a little half-hearted. Bah, maybe next year will be better. At least my resolve and motivation for next year is building up!

Anyway, I was going to share links to spooky videos, but I'll do this now instead. Be sure to watch them after dark (oh, and also be sure to look out for Catomaws). :fear:

Artistic Interpretation: Evidence that Catomaws only eat people.

Aaand you'll probably have seen these already, but they are brilliant so watch them again!: [link] [link] [link] (Not exactly spooky but excellent and moody all the same).

On a different note and concerning all sketch commissioners (Sketch Marathon, still running with limited wind), I'll be taking a break from these over the Christmas holidays (from the week Christmas falls on) and returning to them at the end of January. So far I've got into a routine where I note people for their payment when I reach them on the list and I'll continue to do this on the lead up to Christmas. However...

Important note to add: I understand that this is the time of year when we're all saving like mad for the expense of Christmas, so I'm now offering everyone on the list who are still waiting patiently for a sketch the option to go on a 'waver list'. This means that I won't ask you for payment until well after Christmas. If you wish to be placed on the waver list, please feel free to note me. :)

Well, that's it for now. I've been super busy with things other than art, so really need to get back into that. Next year will be the year for working on the Sweeney comic (or else I'll never start the damn thing!)

On a side note, I said I'd post a little mention for Tiina :iconmirroreyesserval: here as she is currently offering sketch commissions herself. Please take a moment to check out her art because it is undoubtedly amazing and her shading is truly beautiful. :lol:
