Day 15 of Sirentober / Doctober

Orpheus / Wait

I was originally going to draw the off-broadway Hadestown Orpheus and Eurydice but just like the doubt, the brainrot came in and demanded I draw the lawyers

AND SO I ENDED UP DOING A DOODLE PAGE HEHE

I’ve only ever listened to the off-broadway and the original concept album bc my sister got me into Hadestown back in like 2018

There’s so many lines where I’m just like “!!!! THAT WORKS SO WELLLLL” like fr?? I have many many thoughts

For the fates, I couldn’t decide between Dahlia or Iris, but I ended up going with Dahlia

ALSO THE TOP OF MILES’S SHIRT AND HIS SKIRT BEING THE CRAVAT 🤭🤭🤭

AND GODOT TELLING PHOENIX HE CAME BACK FROM HELL TO FIGHT HIM SO HIM BEING THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD HEHEHEHEH

AND THE NEON LIGHTS WOULD BE LIKE HIS MASK AND AND AND

Sorry I have many thoughts :))

okay so i've been working on some hadestown designs on and off for MONTHS and i wasnt planning on posting them until they were all done but i decided to post what i have done to maybe motivate me to finish the rest. so heres the two main couples!! every time i listen to hadestown a little fake production plays in my head so i wanted to get it out into the world. notes under the cut i have a lot to say <3

my orpheus is a butch lesbian idc you cant take this away from me

i'm bringing back the jean jacket from the london production because i love it so much but ALSO because its always bothered me that orpheus is the only human character that doesnt get a jacket for the winter?? it's worn for some scenes in act 1 including wait for me but is gone in act 2. i imagine she lost it at some point during the journey to the underworld, especially because its so hot down there

the idea was that orpheus' clothes are pretty nice (nice slacks, nice shoes) but theyre all worn out. scuffed shoes, baggy knees, holes in the shirt etc etc

patch on the knee matches eurydice's dress <3

i like the idea of eurydice having a bright dress under her huge dark coat. during summer she is happy and opening up to orpheus so her wardrobe changes to reflect that. but on the flip side during winter when her coat is stolen she is forced to bare her raw self to hades

she keeps her headband even in her hades uniform to show shes still holding onto her fading memories and individuality

okay so while i was working on this i came to the realization that i dont really like persephone's dress that much. and then i realized i can do whatever i want.

i referenced a lot of 30's evening gowns. i wanted something poofy and with a lot of movement. not super happy with how i drew the sleeves but its hardddd

theres this one persephone wig that has gray streaks in her hair i loveeee

both dresses of hers would be very shimmery and sparkly. im imagining a lot of subtle texture thats just hard to capture with digital art

i still HATE drawing suits

not a lot to say about hades i didnt stray too far from his established look because its so perfect

OH i added a red pocket square to both match the red back of his vest but also to be evocative of his heart! like under all the layers and walls he still has some feelings lol

Begging on his bended knees to please have pity on his heart

🌟CASTING MY MUTUALS IN HADESTOWN!🌟

Why? Because I feel like it! 😂

Orpheus:

Sequoia (@flowers-floating-in-space, top)

Songbird (@deadboywalking227, middle)

Eden (@songboylyric, bottom)

Nicholas Barasch as Orpheus in the picture. (National Tour)

Reasons for Hibiscus: You give me those ethereal flowery vibes that Orpheus has! /pos

Reasons for Serenade: One of your names is literally Songbird. Nuff said. (Though admittedly the songbird is technically Eurydice in the show, the HT Instagram sometimes refers to Orpheus as a songbird.)

Reasons for Eden: I don't know, you just give me Orpheus vibes- /pos

Eurydice:

Mischa (@that-f-cked-up-bitch, top)

Natalia (@nats-comet, middle)

Ivory (@https-envy, bottom)

Amaya Braganza as Eurydice in the picture. (National Tour)

Reasons for Sydney: I just know you'd be a great Eurydice. How? I don't know! but I do XD

Reasons for Natalia: You have no idea how badly I need a Talia-ified version of "Flowers" and/or "All I've Ever Known". I just know you'd kill it /pos

Reasons for Ivory: You vaguely remind me of her and also I think you'd play up the scrappy/somewhat chaotic aspect of Eurydice's character in a super fun way.

Hermes:

Vellichor (@p-3-t-r-1-ch-0-r)

André de Shields as Hermes in the picture. (Broadway)

Reasons: You are the cryptid, British, and affectionately bloodthirsty (/pos) Hermes that the world needs!

Persephone:

Zeep (@ziipzeepzop-eez)

Jewelle Blackman as Persephone in the picture. (Broadway)

Reasons: You're both altos, and both of you have motherly/wine aunt energy! That's reason enough XD (when a zeep-ified version of "our lady of the underground" is brought into the world, i can die happy)

Hades:

Cipher (@cipher-of-the-round-table)

Phillip Boykin as Hades in the picture. (Broadway)

Reasons: You just give me Hades vibes! I dunno!

The Fates:

Starling (@word-to-the-wise, left)

Charolette (@meowydoe, middle)

Satanic (@satanic-witchcraft, right)

Dominique Kempf, Nyla Watson and Belén Moyano as The Fates in the picture. (National Tour)

Reasons for Piper: I feel like you'd have an absolute blast during When the Chips Are Down. Also a pink-haired Fate? Yes please!!

Reasons for Ginger: You'd be the most fun devious Fate ever (you'd be the one who's always waving at eurydice)

Reasons for Satanic: Satanic-ified version of "Nothing Changes"? Hell. Yes.

what has become of the heart of that man / now that the man is king?

[the-gentle-jellofish]

Hypnos my love

[trobeds]

oh my god

i was thinking about "youre early" / "i missed you" AGAIN and. it was hades n persephones first interaction of the show but it was orpheus n eurydices last (as per nytw. will never get over hadestown bway not including this exchange)

and the tone is so incredibly different for both of them because hades n persephones seems light n kinda humorous while orpheus n eurydices is. they get a second before shes gone again. what hes defending is already gone. god. fuck. the way both pairs parallel each other while having this stark contrast. the way orpheus n eurydice lose each other (again) just when hades n persephone find each other (again). the horrors are never ending i will never stop crying about this holy fucking shit

[frogsrgay2617]

So... I did something

[reflection-s-of-stars]

You either die a Jay Gatsby or live long enough to see yourself become Hades Hadestown
