Description Huzzah! An update!

I've been really super busy lately with school and hadn't had much time to draw, but when I found the JAPANESE TAKARAZUKA VERSION OF ELISABETH STARING MIZU NATSUKI online on youtube I HAD to draw this. In fact, while downlading each part one by one, I paused one of the acts and sketched this real quick. And since I've been drawing so much Sailor Moon art ppl must be sick of me now, I thought I might as well draw Death from Elisabeth instead.

I've also been itiching to try some Phantom of the Opera stuff lately since Love Never Dies is coming out, but maybe when I'm done my midterms this week . For now, I'll just post this and see where things go. Hope you like!

MIZUUUUUUUU.

Though I have to say, Nao's Tod is delightfully pouty~ 8D Mizu is the one I have on my wall, though~

Absolutely gorgeous.

THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU TOO! Takarazuka fans are rare and so inbetween!!

I found Nao's Tod was actually the most sincerest one. She seemed to be the least nasty and the one who would actually look like someone who was considerate. At least, she didnt' look all pedophily with little boy Rudolf like Mizu. XD;

Thank you so much again for the commment!

...Can I marry you?

Like, seriously. You're the first person I know who (I think) knows Takarazuka's version of Elisabeth (AND MIZU NATSUKI!) who I haven't spewed endless rants about how awesome this musical is! Are you a fan as well??

I just went to your site and OMG I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOUR OSA PHANTOM PIECE! I saw that once on DA a long time ago and I loved it but forgot to fav it !!! It's an amazing piece!

Yep yep! I'm a fan, both of Elisabeth and Takarazuka-- of Ayabuki Mao and Yukigumi in particular, but I love a bunch from other troupes too. ^.^

Thank you for the compliments to my Osa piece! It took forever to do, so it makes me happy to hear such kind things. <3

Osa was an extremely powerful Phantom I found. She was so moving! I think you captured it very well.

I also love Phantom of the Opera so I really hope Mizu at some point does it as well! She plays the sexually repressed forbidden lover very well : D.

Do you own the Takarazuka dvds too?

I love Osa's angsty Phantom, and I'm sure Mizu would be lovely in the role, but I don't think she'll get the chance to play it -- or if Hankyu even has the rights for a third run. (Plus I'd be concerned what role Yumiko would have. I can't see it being fun to be re-cast as Gerard.)

I do own a collection of Takarazuka DVDs, including Yukigumi's Elisabeth; However, Phantom, both Osa's and Takako's, were shows I watched at a friend's house. ^^

I'm too lazy to read the description and too lazy to comment properly lolol, so I'm just gonna say I like the dreamy/stoned expression and qwihfhwfihe. I HAVE SUCH A WAY WITH WORDS

O_______o

OMG.
I mean it.
O.M.G.
This is definitely one of the finest pieces you ever made. Pose, expression, shadow and light effects...all perfect. IΒ΄m so totally in awe, I canΒ΄t find words for it.
And did I mention the look on her face is just so beautful it makes me melt away...?

*SQUEE*

Thank you!!!

I personally think this is one of my best pieces too, by far. It was most certainly one of those "click" moments where you know probably you can repeat again in a while. I was drawing a smaller version of this not two seconds ago before I drew this one of the exact same thing and you cannot believe how horrible it was. It was like channeling someone different when I drew this .


WoW! That must be quite the feat because I think you once told me you prefered Haruno Sumire? I must find the entire Elisabeth piece of her's, so far I've only managed to watch Mizu's and the girl who's name as a A in it. <3 <3 <3 ,<3. Thanks so much for commenting <3.

XD I'm a musical freak and lately I've been obsessed with the musical Elisabeth; this is one of the main characters who I absolutely adore. : D.

There's also a song called "The Shadows Are Growing" (but the English is horrible; I much prefer the original German version) that is one of those epis songs I'd love to do pictures to. I've always wanted to draw Ryou and Bakura with that song : D. Look it up! Die Schatten Werden Langer!

I listened to it on Youtube! I payed more attention to the sets and the actors' body language (tends to happen when I don't understand the lyrics) than to the actual song () but it sounded (and looked!) pretty damn great xD

I actually thought the set of both the German and the Japanese productions were amazing! The Japanese Takarazuka's singing isn't as good as the German (as expected b/c it's an all female troupe that's singing the male roles too) but that troupe more than makes up for it with their INCREDIBLE costumes and set design. Mizu Natsuki is also a superb actress and she really gets this awesome side silent monologue on the side going on underneath what her character is acting and you can really feel it!



XD Sorry. <3 Although Die Schatten Werden Langer sounds disctinctly like a song Bakura would like, doesn't it?

Obsession can be a good thing xD

I can't remember what the song was about exactly but 'Shadows grow longer' sounds like something Bakura would like... Go draw that fanart!

sidewayslogic In reply to AnRa--doexma [2009-10-17 04:38:54 +0000 UTC]

It definitely is. I really want to try working in dueling into it. XD But Bakura definitely actually fits the bill to be a "Death" sort of character.

Now I just keep thinking of a Shadow game >< *ish uncreative* I spent all my creative force on drawing boobies for a contest. That's my excuse.

"The Shadows are Growing Longer" OH COME ON, IT SCREAMS A BAKURA SONG XD. Of COURSE there'd be a Shadow game! XD

Why are you drawing boobies?

Alright then! I don't suck as much as I thought I did, huzzah.

It's for the genderbending contest at MarikxBakura club. Genderbending is not really my thing but I thought I'd give it a go.

I read on genderbender fic once, it was pretty awesome. Bitchy manly Bakura with cute little effeminate Ryou taking care of her was super cute. He even had to read a book about female bodily functions so Bakurau could understand what a period was and Ryou couldn't even say the word "sex". XD

That was an awesome fic! Ochodre/ Jaswinder NAILED Ryou and Bakura's personalities! Especially with how overbearing and doting Ryou was as the "seme"; XD and how girl-bakura hated periods. "Fuck! Where did all this blood come fro- MY. GOD."

XD ANd she still sat like TKB on the couch. XD

I know! It's one of the best fics I've ever read. I've read both parts to the story like... um, many times xD I'm guilty of rereading the stories I like But the thing is, that I probably would have never read them if I hadn't ran into several forum posts that praised them.

I knew it was youuuu~~~~<3!!

I think i need to draw more POTO (Phantom of the Opera) art first before I start screaming fans to get going at looking at Elisabeth. Phantom phans probably would like this stuff, but I don't draw enough POTO to get their attention...and Erik/Christine prolly won't do very well on yaoi-gallery either...*considers drawing Erik/Raoul*. ....OH GOD YUCK.
