Description

Yes... I'm giving myself yet another challenge. Sweeney Todd song contest... it's because I'm on a countdown till Sweeney Todd comes out on DVD. April 1st I heard...

I'm doing most of the songs. They didn't have the Ballad of Sweeney Todd, but I'm doing it anyways... and I am not doing Ladies and their Sensitivities(sp?).

This picture is pretty bad... it's slightly older. An OLD sketch that I finally colored.

My brown prisma is dead now... *cries*

I can't draw wood for the sake of my life...

Yes.

Not wonderful...

Now, for the lyrics...

I adore this song. :heart:

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
who never thereafter were heard of again.
He trod a path that few have trod
did Sweeney Todd
the demon barber of fleet street.
He kept a shop in London town.
Of fancy clients and good renown
and what if none of their souls were saved
they went to their maker impeccably shaved.
By Sweeney,
by Sweeney Todd
the demon barber of fleet street.
Company
Swing your razor wide!
Sweeney, hold it to the skies.
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize.
His needswere few, his room was bare.
A lavabo and a fancy chair.
A mug of suds, and a leather strop,
an apron, a towel, a pail, and a mop.
For neatness he deserves a nod,
does Sweeney Todd,
the demon barber of Fleet Street.
Inconspicuous Sweeney was,
quick, and quiet and clean he was.
Back of his smile, under his word,
Sweeney heard music that nobody heard.
Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned,
like a perfect machine he planned,
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney!
Sweeney Todd
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
Company
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
Sweeney Todd
He served a dark and vengeful God!
Company
He served a dark and vengeful God!
Sweeney Todd
What happened then, well that’s the play,
and he wouldn’t want us to give it away…
Company
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet…
Street…

Meep.

That wood looks fantastic! I actually thought it was a computer effect! I like the carving, and the whole mood of the picture is very interesting! :D
