Yet another thing that I've had sitting around 90% finished for months. It's fanart for Passion, a musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, the same guys who did Into the Woods (while Sweeney Todd was Sondheim with Hugh Wheeler). [link] [link] Probably my favorite musical ever.

I figured Passion would have made a great 1960s shoujo manga -- it's got the elaborate period costumes, traaaaagic romance, drama, flower imagery, pointless comic relief side characters, etc. etc. So I gave Clara, Giorgio and Fosca the shoujo treatment, resulting in quite possibly the girliest-looking thing I've ever drawn. Of course, to truly be a proper '60s shoujo hero, Giorgio would need a more luxurious mullet. I settled for luxurious sideburns instead.

Definitely not my best work in terms of proportions or marker work; Giorgio's face looks especially weird. But I'm still quite pleased with the overall effect.

Do you read alot of 1960's shoujo? This is so beautiful... you could probably pretend it's not based on that play and make this the cover for an original series! But you're already doing a great original series, lol.

It's so pretty, I keep coming back to it.

Happiness in stories is at most only a couple of lines at the end. The epitome of boredom. Now, show me a magnificent tragedy! A cataclysm of tears from which not one of the players is saved, and to which a happy ending never comes!
